New feature: Amazon Prime with HTML5 player (MP2 only!) (1 Viewer)

[morpheus_xx]

Hi all,

I spent some hours to improve the Amazon Prime support. Main changes are:

• Added support for different login screens of Amazon
• Added support for new HTML5 player
• Added setting to select new player, removed "internal" as it is no longer working

How to install this in MediaPortal 2?

You need to do 2 steps:

• Extract the "20160129-OnlineVideos_AmazonPrime_HTML5.7z" into C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins\
• Extract 20160129-OnlineVideos_SiteUtils_AmazonPrime.7z to folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\OnlineVideos\SiteUtils\

Overwrite existing files.

How does it look like?

Settings, new option to select HTML5 player


HTML5 based playback (screenshots only capture UI, not the video )


Normal silverlight based playback


Will it work in MP1?

No, but changes could be backported by someone else, code is pushed at https://github.com/offbyoneBB/mp-onlinevideos2/tree/EXP_BrowserHostMP2


@Developers @Testers @Designers and all others of course


Please give this version a try, it is very fresh and untested!

Report any issues you find, especially when using different Windows versions (Win 7, 8, 10!)

Updates:
v2: 2016-01-30:

• fixed mimizing of MP2 when playback starts, was commented out by accident
• fixed crash on playback of all other streams (broken MPUrlSourceSplitter replaced)

I did a search for Amazon in online videos
Also, under settings there is nothing for Amazon Prime

Loaded new code, same affect
Amazon Prime UK and DE are listed at the Bootom of Online Videos (reminds me, when you exit a channel, it put you at the Top of the channel list)
When I search for amazon or Amazon, I get the same error.
When I go into Settings, Plugins, Online Videos, still no change in the menus

Thanks breese for testing. The errors in search model are probably something @offbyone can check.

To access the site-specific settings, you need to right click on the site inside the main OV list (not in configuration!). But for testing the playback you would need to have a valid Amazon Prime enabled account.
