The sections movies, shows and kids show no results

[Paco8]

I guess Amazon changed again the html. The watchlist and the search function still work, but I noticed that when I try to browse the other sections (movies, shows and kids) it displays an empty list.
There's no error in the log.

Probable, which is why we're moving away from it. I'm just not done with it though.

I fixed it partially with this patch:

I didn't fix the "Genres/Categories" links.

I also noticed another problem, the addon crashes when scanning shows with a single season. This is because amazon changed class="_2XnrBy" with class="_3yWnmV _2XnrBy".

I fixed it by replacing "_2XnrBy" with ".*?_2XnrBy"

How do you install and use patch? I also have movies, shows and kids show no results. When typing in Star Trek, it says in the top right corner that it found Into Darkness but, does not appear in results list.

@Paco8
How and where do you put your patches?
Gracias.

[Paco8]

I attach the patched primevideo.py:

I also have this repo with my modifications:

Hi @Paco8,
Thanks for the updated Amazon VOD repository. This refreshes all movie contents flawlessly.
However while playing movies, I find that no Video is displayed. Instead the screen is filled with colours with some static disturbance at the top. I tried to toggle with the video settings to no avail. Audio works pefectly. Will be grateful if you have any suggestion for this. I am accessing from India. Thanks in advance.

Update: Got this solved. It was in Kodi Video settings. This video helped. https://youtu.be/rR3sENo_e3Q

Hello Paco8, how to install the patches please? With FTP and which folders?

Thank you.

[Paco8]

Extract primevideo.py from primevideo.zip, and copy it to plugin.video.amazon-test/resources/lib/ replacing the original one.

[sanangel]

@Paco8 I have put a link to this topic in the kodi forum. I hope that doesn't create any problem ...

how do i install on kodi? You can help me? @Paco8

I guess you can install this package:

By the way, it seems amazon made changes again and I think the code which gets the season number from the episode list is broken again.

I made a patch which gets the season number from the json data in case the regular expressions above fail. I attach the patch and the modified primevideo.py

Hi all

I had installed the path of August and it worked.
After an absence, I had another mistake.
So I installed the patch of September.
I have no more error but the directory is empty ...
Thanks for your help.
