I just started experiencing this issue today.
I am using version 0.6.9 of the bluecop amazon add-on and just started getting 
this error today. I was watching some tv shows less than 8 hours ago with no 
problem. Now, those same shows as well as what appears to be all other shows 
are giving this error.

I am also using 0.6.9 of Amazon plugin with the same result--Flash DRM message 
followed by failure to play video. This behavior started today and affects 
playing all Amazon Prime videos I tried, even ones that worked fine yesterday. 
I am using Frodo 12.1 on Win7-64.

Hi All, I am also getting the same issue as of yesterday. It worked fine for me 
until yesterday when I got a message This Video uses FLAS_ACCESS DRM and then 
"One or more items failed to play Check the log file for details". Any idea why 
this suddenly stopped working ?

According to Amazon it may have something to do with a recent Flash upgrade.  
Apparently it requires the version to be within the most recent x upgrades. 
Maybe the version the plugin uses is too old now and needs updated?

I am also experiencing this issue with the latest version of OpenElec (3.0.1) 
and the latest version of the Bluecop repository (1.0.1). Attached is the log 
when attempting to view a video on Amazon. I've found that sometimes it 
displays the FLASH_ACCESS DRM error message, but others the video just fails to 
play silently.

Any advice on how to get the Amazon plugin working again?

Thanks!

I'd also like to add what a terrific plug-in this is.

The issue is because of Amazon enabling DRM for their content. Essentially, 
it's not the fault of the addon, it's the fault of the DRM being enabled and 
blocking xbmc from viewing the amazon streams.

You can also write amazon an email and let them know that you want to be able 
to view Amazon Prime video on XBMC. Apparently if they get enough emails 
forwarded to their Instant Video team, they will look into providing official 
support for an Amazon XBMC add-on.
