Add support for PrimeVideo and Disney+

[Killom]

Describe the problem

Playback from Amazon / Disney+ videos won't work. Kodi is tying to start playback but nothing happens.

Describe the solution you'd like

Cast Kodi sending proper playback links for these Plugins

Environment

• Cast Kodi version: 7.3.0
• Browser version Firefox: 116.0
• Kodi version: 20.90.201
• Kodi add-on version (if appropriate): Disney+ 0.14.2 / Amazon VOD 0.9.7~alpha+matrix.1

Additional context

Can't tell, if these plugins support playback from URI - but sending correct media link to Kodi should be first step in right direction.

So you can start Videos for Primevideo with pasting a link, tested with this one:

plugin://plugin.video.amazon-test/?asin=B0B6JQQ7DG&mode=PlayVideo&name=ENEMY&adult=0&trailer=0&selbitrate=0

This actually works, you will have to scrape the needed metadata from the URL:

ASIN can be directly fetched from video url:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/video/detail/**B0CMHD44JC**/ref=atv_dp_btf_el_prime_sd_tv_play_t1ADAAAAAA0wr0?autoplay=1&t=0
Other stuff might be fetched parsing the HTM

might check on Disney+ later

The new version 7.7.0 supports Prime Video. Firefox 124+ or Chrome 123+ browsers required. And you need the Amazon VOD add-on.

It only works with the www.primevideo.com website (but not with www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/video/storefront).

Thanks @Killom for the analysis.

Well. @regseb Thanks and damn I guess. Since I'm located in Germany, I cant use primevideo.com. Get redirected to DE storefront.
Possible to include this as well? What would you need for that?

[regseb]

I've added support in Cast Kodi 7.8.0 (require Firefox 125+ or Chrome 124+) for:

• www.amazon.com
• www.amazon.co.uk
• www.amazon.de
• www.amazon.co.jp

I think this should be closed, @regseb.
If there is still demand for Disney+ from @Killom they can open a separate issue 🙂
