[Request] Add Player Function for Amazon VOD Plugin #463

Closed DevHov closed 3 years ago

DevHov commented 3 years ago

Amazon is one of the bigger streaming services, so it wouldt be nice if the player function wouldt be added for the Amazon VOD Plugin (https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc). I've seen a similar request from a reddit user on the Addons4Kodi sub recently, so I might be not alone finding this useful. I tried adding it myself but I'm still coding beginner so I can't get it running.

You can attempt to create a player for the add-on by following the player documentation at https://www.github.com/jurialmunkey/plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/wiki/Player-Function.

I think the main reason that nobody has ever made this player is that nobody who uses Amazon VOD has ever stepped up to make and/or test a player for it 🤷🏼‍♀️

jurialmunkey commented 3 years ago

@AnthroposGoticus - Can you please test this player file and see if it works for you? It is adapted from the Netflix player and I'm pretty sure it is working -- I've got an Amazon account so I'm able to test the search for the episode but I don't currently have Prime so I can't test playback.

For context: my hardware/Software: CoreELEC with Kodi 19.0

Adding worked fine, also the Amazon Logo is shown, but functionality fails. I tried it with a series, where I know its available and free on Prime Video. Played fine directly in the amazon app.

Play with Amazon returns in the folowing error:

What version of the Amazon plugin are you using? Because it seems like whatever version you are using has a different search path from the one I installed.

For reference, I tested with 0.9.1+matrix.1 of plugin.video.amazon-test

jurialmunkey commented 3 years ago

In the player file can you try replacing the /pv/ parts with /amz/ and see if that works

i.e. change all these: plugin://plugin.video.amazon-test/pv/search/ to this plugin://plugin.video.amazon-test/amz/search/

It looks like the Amazon plugin switches endpoints depending on locale/region, which makes things a pain for creating a player. So for me the path uses /pv/ (Prime Video) but for you it is using /amz/ (Amazon Video).

jurialmunkey commented 3 years ago

Can you try replacing the player file with the code below? It looks like the Amazon plugin switches between a /pv/ and a /amz/ endpoint depending on the server type for each region/locale -- which is why my previous player was working for me in a pv region whilst you are likely in a region served by amz. The below player should hopefully adapt regardless of endpoint.

Hey, I've got the same version as you. Can I lookup anywhere this string (plugin://plugin.video.amazon-test/pv/search/, or with /amz/) in one of the amazon plugin files? I tried search manually but I didn't found anything.

Unfortunately no success. But this time I did'nt get any error message from TMDBH itself in the gui like the last time, it simply seem to make nothing and the "choose action" window opens up again. The following logs are written: For Play:

I also tried replacing /pv/ with /amz/ the results in the log seems to be similar at least for play. But this time after running search this episode the main menu of the amazon VOD plugin opened. So there are different reactions between the "file": "(?i).* and the /amz/ version.

Search for the /amz/ version:

Do you have an option for search when inside the Amazon plugin itself? Because it sounds like there is no search function for you available.

If there isn't any search functionality exposed for you then a player is going to be impossible. There has to be a search path that tmdbhelper can use to find the item you're looking for.

The amazon VOD plugin has a search function. However I figured out, that there might be an issue with that. At least on my device searching takes a very long time (more than a Minute), so couldt that be the issue, is there something like a timeout for the TMDBH Plugin?

jurialmunkey commented 3 years ago

There's no timeout in TMDbH but it is possible that Kodi's json rpc module has a timeout as that is what is used to retrieve the directories from the plugin.

Either way, without a quick way to search it isn't really possible to have a player because you're going to be waiting that long everytime.

In essence, all a TMDBh player does is automate the process of clicking on things in the plugin - so it is just opening search, inputting the info in the keyboard and then clicking on the item that matches the rules setup in the player. Without a working search or index of some sort, there isn't really any way for TMDBh to find the item you want to play.

I don't know why your search is taking so long though. For me, the Amazon plugin only takes a few seconds for search to find things.

DevHov commented 3 years ago

Okay weird. Thanks anyway for the json. Probably someone else couldt confirm that it's workling.

Unfortunately the S905x Coreelec is the only device where I can run it right now. So I can't validate it at the moment. On my pc the amazon plugin doesn't work, but that's another story.

Actually just reactivated my Prime account yesterday because I wanted to get a few things shipped to me. So I was able to test this morning and the above player code is working well for me (tested using The Boys, Man in the High Castle, Knives Out, and Coming to America and all played fine). So I think I will merge it.

The Amazon plugin in general is painfully slow to navigate though! Fortunately the search isn't too bad for me but I've found some of the other sections are very sluggish to load. And I recently upgraded my loungeroom htpc (11thGen i7 NUC w/ 32gb RAM and M.2 SSD), so if it is slow on that then it is definitely going to be slow on low powered systems like the s905x.
