Got it working here by modifing the Amazon UK version, basically you only have to change the URLs in a Resource file. I have the Resource file attached

I did those steps:
1.) Checkout source code from http://code.google.com/p/mp-onlinevideos2/
2.) Replace SiteUtilProjects/OnlineVideoSites.MrP/Properties/Resources.resx with the one in the attachement
3.) Recompile by starting Build/Build_OV_MP1_Release.bat
This will automatically update the dlls in the mediaportal installation

I could now browse videos and play back with a german account

Things left:
- Figure out how to push this to a separate DLL, so it does not get overwritten by the next updated version
- There is a problem with german Umlauts äöü...they are not properly displayed

I can't compile myself. Can you provide the binary files?

Nice work,
i tried it and can confirm that it works .

Funny, i tried the same approach some time ago and it did not work then. Maybe i missed something.

@JSurf I'm not much into coding. I got an svn client and accessed the read-only tree of the link you provided, this generates a copy of the directory on my disk and then I follow your instructions. But I have errors in my log aboput objects not being found and the mpe1-gemerator also fails, so I get no executable addon...can you please help or provide the compiled binary?

Its important to put the source files under C.\ before starting the build bat.

Here is my complete installer that got generated. Did some modifications again, so that amazon uk and amazon de could work at the same time as different sites but using the same code, its possible to add a language specific resource file an i'm using the "lang" paramter of the site definition to switch the resources.

I have put my modifications in github, if a developer of onlinevideos is reading this and wants to have a look:
https://github.com/JSurf/mediaportal-onlinevideos/tree/instant_de

After installing the mpe1 you need to add the amazon.de site to programdata\team meadiaportal\mediaportal\OnlineVideoSites.xml

<Site name="Amazon Prime De" util="WebAutomationSite" agecheck="false" enabled="true" lang="de" player="Browser" lastUpdated="2014-12-04T18:03:12.3835696+01:00">
<Description>Amazon Prime DE! Requires a user name/password.</Description>
</Site>

I see, that explains it. Thanks for the binary anyway!

Here also! Big thanks. How do I exit from the Browser window? Remote and Keyboard do not seem to work.

esc key seems to work to exit.

While the plugin works on my test PC, Currently i have a problem with my real HTPC which is a slow amd e350. I only get to the movie Details page, but it does not automatically start the playback. Need to figure out what the problem is there

have some ideas i would like to see, like browsing the watchlist, which would be very useful in my eyes. Will have a look at this and also will contact the developers fo onlinevideos how we get amazon.de in the official release when i got the time
