Only SD available

[olliiiver]

Hi,

it seems that there is only SD available at the moment. A few days ago I was able to watch movies and TV shows in HD.

Is there a way to bring back HD again?

Here is a JSON I've found in the debug logs.

Currently Amazon does not allow HD anymore.

[olliiiver]

Could HD urlSets maybe be returned by another deviceTypeID?

[claell]

Yes, probably, if there is a working one. Unfortunately Amazon announced to discontinue support for Google TV by the 14. September. So then the Addon will probably stop to work completely.

[nedy13]

Why should the addon do not work anymore? I think it depends on the flash player which must be activated in the Amazon options. Or will Amazon drop Flash player, too?

[claell]

It depends on faking a GoogleTV as well.

[drieschel]

Is there a solution? It's really annoying watching sd on a 4k tv.

[drieschel]

Could it be possible to get HD working again by adjusting the user agent string, similiar to #30?

[claell]

I think that this has already been tried.

[wilderkaiser]

any news to this ?

[drieschel]

I think we have to wait until the html5 version is not beta anymore, before we can expect a solution to this.

[h0nIg]

Why do you think we have to wait for html5 to get HD back? where is the connection?

[drieschel]

The actual problem is that amazon stopped offering hd for the flash version. I am expecting that they will offer hd for the html5 version again. Of course I can be wrong but this is my assumption.

[h0nIg]

ok, is it possible to opt in for the html5 beta test?
