Prime not working. #44

Open nodefive opened 4 years ago

nodefive commented 4 years ago

Readme shows prime as a source. But the pre-build doesn't have it. The source does, but right after the video starts shows and error "We're experiencing a problem playing this video. For assistance, please go to www.primevideo.com/help....."

:-(

As you have already worked out it is related to the Hulu not working issue. I am still looking into a solution but it is really difficult to fix as the Hulu issue outlines. I will try and update you if I make any progress.

Double thanks! For the speedily reply and the explanation. Crossing my fingers here! Thanks mate.

Which OS are you running Linux or Mac?

nodefive commented 4 years ago

I am running OSX. But I gave up on prime (and Netflix). Here in my country (actually in almost all countries outside US) all they offer is only junk and old stuff. I can count the amount of titles I can watch by some couple hundred, max! Sucks, so I won't pay for what I already have on cable, in fact my cable is far superior. But if you like I can test anything you have, for the greater good.

This is going to be fixed in version 3.0.0 it is currently in very early development and its changes core from Electron to NativeKit (also built by me) for the Mac version which fixes the DRM issues. I have released a downloadable version of the alpha here which you can use in the meantime until the final release.

oscartbeaumont commented 4 years ago

If you still have your account can you test it although I assume you don't as this alpha has taken a really long time to build and it probably deactivated?

3.0.0 says that we don't have silverlight installed though

oscartbeaumont commented 4 years ago

I will look into it. As I don't have an account I just assumed it used the same DRM as Netflix given problems in the past seem to happen at very similar times. Maybe it uses something different (Silverlight) which by switching core has been removed.
