HD content is playing fine on amazon vod.. Kept settings on auto and 720p works like a charm.. This is in India.

Playing on kodi on rasberry pi 3

Well, it's not anywhere else, so you're either confusing 720p with 720x480 (which is 480p), or some series in India are differently encoded, totally possible. Still doesn't change a thing.

@aers playredycdm sounds interesting @Varstahl not sure how the situation currently is, but for ARM devices libwidevine was always more tolerant because it is assumed it is only running on secure ChromeOS. Windows / Linux x86_64 / OSX are quite different.

varun432 commented 5 years ago

I am sure its playing.. And it did get stuck for past 1 week... So I have no idea what's happening..

But is their a way to to list seasons properly in watchlist.. Only 1st episode or none get listed.. It somehow assumes them as movies I guess.. Also can't search the episodes via search option as it returns error... So no way of watching a complete series.

Movies though work fine.. M

Technically everything should work. You can try removing the cache files. A lot of users reported that uninstalling and reinstalling works. I have no idea why, or how, but whatever.

@peak3d I don't really know, but what's "working" at the moment is using the fallback streams, which don't have HD+. So given the fact that it's (almost) impossible for 720p to be in the list, I'd guess he's mistaken. But since streams are regional, it's possible that India has DRM-free 720p, I just find it unlikely.

What I do know is that when I tried to play a TV series it displayed in a 720x480 resolution, so I guess he just misread.

You might be right that I might have misread.. I will definitely check again at night today and revert..

But for seasons listing problem. Deleted and installed app twice Deleted files in folder plugin.video.amazon.test twice

But still cannot remedy it..

Problem 1) the seasons folder is either empty 2) the season folder isn't created and is displayed as a single file with first episode.. 3) searching of episode by "episode name" returns error or the name of the series with the 1st episode playing..

This tested for many shows English as well as Indian.

Never faced this problem before... Just past 1 week..

Yes the videos are 480p just checked...

Also I found a way to get the episodes of a season to show in watchlist, search and TV shows link on amazon vod app.

If an episode is played for a few seconds and exited on amazon app on android.. And then the TV show folder refreshed it magically shows up in the folder.. Although all previous episodes dissappear..

But this gives a temporary solution to watch TV series

This might also help in providing a hint to the developer that why it's happening...

Maybe Amazon changed again the format of the HTML pages, and the addon fails to get the list of episodes.

This is degenerating fast and not useful at all, locking the thread.
