There is an add-on for Kodi to play Amazon Prime videos. This tutorial describes how to install it.
The add-on is not currently compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 because the WideVine video module for 64-bit ARM systems does not yet exist.
You must check several points:
Do not have a double authentication enabled on Amazon. Most of the time, login via Kodi does not work because of this extra request.
Enable installation from a zip file in Kodi:
Settings
> System
> Add-ons
.Unknown sources
option. Confirm when prompted.Start Kodi.
You should first install a zip file containing the repository information where the Amazon Prime add-on is located. Go to the following address and download the latest Plugin Repository
:
https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/releases
Transfer the downloaded zip file to your Recalbox in the desired location in the share.
In Kodi, go to Add-ons
> Install from Zip file
and select the zip file you downloaded. Confirm the confirmation messages if you have any.
Once installed, still in Add-ons
, go to Install from a repository
.
Find the add-on in Sandmann79s Repository
> Video add-ons
> Amazon VOD
. Open the add-on to install it. Confirm all necessary dependencies to install it.
Once installed, the add-on should be visible in the list of installed add-ons.
You will need to log in before you can use the add-on.
Open the add-on.
You will automatically have the options window open. On the left, move to Connection
on the left and select Sign In...
.
You will be asked to fill in your email address and password in two windows in a row.
You will probably get windows where you have to retype your password and a captcha. This is quite normal, Amazon does its checks, even if they can be too repetitive.
Once you are logged-in, you will be presented with a window indicating the login process is done.
Now you can enjoy Amazon Prime.
