RE: Amazon VOD [plugin.video.amazon[vod|-test]] - cpassuel - 2023-03-05

There is an issue created of GitHub for this problem https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/issues/674

The navigation is parsed in resources\lib\web_api.py script and in BuildRoot function and must be changed as the new UI is very different.
I've done some tests and was able somehow to get the search function back but the watch list is still broken, some more changes are required.

You will find the changes to make on the github issue https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/issues/674#issuecomment-1455049830
Feel free to make more tests on the watchlist.

@glennguy @CastagnaIT Before I start creating github issues left and right Smile I wanted to ask your opinion on this issue:

https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/issues/676

Do you think it's most likely an issue with the addon itself? Or could it also be an issue in InputStream Adaptive and/or Kodi's core?

fwiw if you watch the video output the choppiness is accompanied with frame drops, currently on a low bitrate (15Mbps) 17 frame drops in 2 minutes and its jerking each time one drops

only prime i get this, i can stream 4k dolby vision from disney+ with matthuisman's without these issues and those bitrates are up around 25Mbps+

not sure how the addon can fix this, it's only in charge of scraping and opening inputstream adaptive


RE: Amazon VOD [plugin.video.amazon[vod|-test]] - izprtxqkft - 2023-03-16

if there's any notable output difference between the official prime app and the addon is that the addon is forcing frame rate to 23.976 where the amazon app is using VFR and fluctuating

But dolby vision works in this addon as well without choppiness. Only HDR10+ material has the issue.

I did read other people also saying that Prime is using VFR for HDR10+. So maybe that is the cause of the issue. Question is if this can be fixed somewhere in Kodi's pipeline?


RE: Amazon VOD [plugin.video.amazon[vod|-test]] - glennguy - 2023-03-19

Yes please open an issue in the inputstream.adaptive repo. That log file looks very interesting.

Yes, I am having the same issue.  When I try and view either TV or Movies from my watchlist, I get the errors like this in the log.

I have managed to get some displays where I get a list of movies and can play them, but TV shows fail.

RE: Amazon VOD [plugin.video.amazon[vod|-test]] - orenmi - 2023-03-28

hi, I installed again the addon after 2 years and wondered 2 things, that I had issues in the past and still have:
1. after installing, the addon tell me I need to login again for Amazon to register the device and allow UHD.
I did that but still only getting HD. I am using Nvidia shield.
Is there a working way to get UHD?
2. Is there a way to get Atmos? or only 5.1?
3. Audio language is always German when I start a title. I need to manually change to English. Is there a fix for this?

Thank you for an excellent addon!
