Looks like it is broken again, I sure hope Marc is able to figure it out.
I swear I have the worst luck. I switched to using an Xbox at the main TV partly because this plugin broke. A week later Marc revived it and even improved on it. Last week I built a new HTPC and moved it back to the main TV and now Amazon has done something to break it again.

Very nice. The silverlight player seems to play video quite well. Video quality is great. The remote control is a bit lacking... i can pause, but un-pausing seems to restart the entire video.

makryger - the 'Pause' should resume from close (within 1 second) of where you left off. Amazon chose not to expose the Pause control via JavaScript so I had to improvise with ResumeFromCurrentPosition(seconds). So yes, it technically restarts the stream -but it should be from the paused position. Works ok for me so far.

I understand. I wonder if you are able to just simulate the moues click where the play/pause button is located? Not exactly the most elegant solution, but at least it avoids the several second lag when pausing/restarting.KerrAvon wrote:makryger - the 'Pause' should resume from close (within 1 second) of where you left off.

If it were only that simple. Browsers by design disallow simulating actual keypresses - security issue.

Thats too bad...on the website, the space key also works as a pause. I suppose thats out of the question too.KerrAvon wrote:If it were only that simple. Browsers by design disallow simulating actual keypresses - security issue.

I can't get this new version to work for some reason. The app appears fine in browsing for videos but after clicking the watch/resume button, the app moves me to the Blue Media Center background and nothing happens. Nothing loads, it just sits there until I hit the back button. Anyone else with this issue?

Hi, anyone in the UK using this? I'm an Amazon Prime member which just merged content with Lovefilm (also member) today so I thought I'd give it a go but I keep getting a 'Service Error (5003)' message. I have contacted Marc too via his website.
Cheers

Another vote for UK! Suspect it needs a total rewrite to do but would be awesome!

When I tried to install this app...my anti virus program flagged a trojan virus that it was trying to install called mongoose. The web site mentions mongoose but I'm still a little nervous about using it. Needless to say, the app did not work for me probably because that mongoose server thing is needed. Should I be concerned with this trojan?

Hi, Mongoose is a small web server that the plugin needs, see below. I've run it and it's fine, even though the dev is still working on a UK version so I haven't needed it yet!

Does this plugin allow rented movies to be watched? I would be happy to give a modest donation to get rented movies to play (in hd of course).

yes, it does. I've used it. You need to rent the movie via the website or your phone first because there isn't a rent button in the WMC app. But once you're authorized to watch it it plays just fine in WMC! Easiest thing to do is to add it to your watchlist after you rent it so you don't have to go search for it.jbf154 wrote:Does this plugin allow rented movies to be watched?

I am getting the following error when trying to install the AmazonMCEAddin:
"This application requires Microsoft Silverlight 5.1 or later. Please install the latest version of Silverlight in Internet Explorer then run this installer again."
I have the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight. I have even uninstalled it and redownloaded/installed it from the Microsoft website.
Any ideas?
