Amazon Prime Germany? (1 Viewer)

[Ministerk]

You might want to ping @Jason Pyke, he's the author of Amazon Prime and he can easily add this site. Otherwise you (@JSurf ) need to produce your own OnlineVideo site dll, add a site node in your OnlineVideosSites.xml and maybe add an icon and banner and then publish the site to web from online videos configuration.

Edit: and of course a new util name

Got in contact with Jason, Prime De support will be officially added to the next release. He just merged the changes to the official svn repo

I will continue to work on watchlist support

have also described how everything set up on Page 2 in this post.
In MediaPortal me the choice of films / series DE version of Amazon is displayed
But when I try to play a movie, MP only once briefly jumps back and forth and I'm back on the selection page in MP
Username and password I entered in the Configs
If I read that correctly, but MP is to open the browser and enter the film again right ??
MP or should play the movie itself?

Because I can possibly. Someone help?

Thank you very much

Hi,
i have tested your version and it works so far.
But player controlling isn't possible. Only "Esc" work to stop playing.
Do you think it's possible to implement the basic keyboard shortcuts?
As far as I know the silverlight player supports following commands:
Space=Pause/Play
Left/Right=seek back/forward
Up/Down=Volume Up/Down

@VectraGT84 you might have the same issue i had with my HTPC, i needed to change a timeout value in the code before it started working but this change is not in the installer posted here. Currently i don't have a stable codebase to build a new installer.

If you compiled the installetr from source, you can try to change the timeout value in code:
See: https://github.com/JSurf/mediaportal-onlinevideos/commit/f743a4c100db75d43233cec6fa3f34b2f165ade1[DOUBLEPOST=1420541834][/DOUBLEPOST]@netexplorer At this point you would be better of asking @Jason Pyke about the support of buttons.
I think there is already some code to support keyboard shortcuts, but at this point i had no detailed look at it.

There is remote support within the browser host, but it'll depend on which version you're using and which files are updated as to how robust the remote handling is. I think the version @JSurf supplied is up to date enough.

I don't know that those shortcut keys are a standard in Silverlight, they certainly don't work in Sky Go. When I wrote the original Amazon code it looked for the play/pause button and clicked it, if you're sure those shortcut keys do work in Amazon I could potentially change the code. It's possible the German play/pause button is different to the UK one.

Unfortunately I don't have a prime subscription to be able to test this out or do any extra work on it.

I think @TheBatfink uses Amazon Prime in the UK, hopefully he can test the play/pause and let us know if it currently works for him. Also, @ThBatfink, if you get a chance would you be able to see if the shortcut keys (space/left/right) work for controlling the play/pause/step forward/back within a standard browser (not in MePo).

Hey Jason. Of course I can test things out for you no problem. I'm working out the country for two weeks right now. If I can get remote desktop working I'll have a play.

Yesterday i tested the keyboard commands and i can confirm they are working.
Space pause/resume the playing and Left/Right jumps backward/foreward.
It's may be a problem that MP haven't focus?
Which process is startet to playing the movie?
I'm using iMon to control MP and the keystrokes are process related. So if MP isn't active the remote don't work.

 

[Jason Pyke]

MP doesn't handle the actual capturing of keystrokes, the BrowserHost does - it then sends the command to MP to translate (in case there are custom mappings) and the action is sent back. The current implementation of Amazon Prime looks for the play/pause button and tries to click it, but if those keyboard shortcuts work I can change it to use those instead. Hopefully the UK Amazon Prime works in the same way (I'll assume it does).

Isn't there a setting in configuration somewhere that remote reacts to signals even if MP isn't in focus???
