no more watchlist / can't play any movies or series

[dora71]

Since yesterday (2015-09-15), Amazon seems to have changed URLs (again?).
I cannot access my watchlist (script error) and if I try to watch a video directly, it is the same script error. Didn't change anything in KODI itself, a new install didn't solve the problem.
However, I still can see covers and can navigate to films and series.

Here is the log:

Same problem here.
Looks like Amazon returns a 404 error for the user agent string, used by the plugin (:cry:) .

The addon has a file "default.py".
Line ~98 defines the user agent:

userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-EN) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.127 Large Screen Safari/533.4 GoogleTV/ 162671"

I changed mine to this:

userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36"

It works for me now.
Could you please check if this also works for you?

I had the same Problem and this solution did work for me.

Thank you!

[rpkZarathustra]

Works for me, too.

Great Job!

[stefan-jung]

Works for me, too. (Linux/Arch)

[claell]

Can this get integrated into the addon, please?

[dora71]

OK, with the change of the user agent string, I now can access again my watchlists. I still have a buffering problem (which I had quite a time ago, but has disappeared for a long time now), but I will check that later on.
What I can say so far, that it is working again for me too. I am using kodi on a Raspberry Pi.

I hope this fix will be integrated soon :)

Great! It works, thank you TobiMob... (pi2, osmc)

It works but buffering takes a very long time now!
Its like 3% buffering after 5 Minutes.

[c-MM]

Works for me too. (x86/debian/kodi 14.1)

[TobiMob]

#29 could fix this

[cue108]

Thanx TobiMob.
userAgentString from #29 did also fix the buffering thing for me.

Going to fix it this evening. Thanks for providing a solution. :)

Again not working today (2015-09-29). Please have a look here:

The link to the video is created correctly, but Kodi can't play it.
