In this century Internet has made a huge revolution. Almost everything is now available online. Just like the goods, now it’s possible to watch movies and TV Shows online. When it comes to online streaming of movies, Netflix is the popular service. By knowing the demand of this market, the Online Shopping legend Amazon has launched their service named Amazon Prime Video. It has got a huge reach in a short time among the people. Amazon Prime video is available for a one-month free trial and then a regular monthly/yearly subscription. An amazon prime user can enjoy unlimited movies, videos and TV shows. Just like its competitors, Amazon has pursued a number of exclusive deals to the viewers, including a multi-year licensing deal with HBO. So, without wasting much of your time, let us see how we can watch amazon prime video on kodi.

Hi,
i know there many issues with the Amazon Instant Video on Kodi.
Just wanted to try your solution and new Addon from SuperRepo but it’s not possible for me to login, the pop-up comes again and again, finally it says “not logged in”.
In the log I see an issue related to the SSL handshake:
ERROR: [Amazon] Error reason:
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
..just saw my comment is cutted by some special signs from the log.
Here the error mesasge:
SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Hi, I have the same issue as Flaash has. The credentials are 100% correct, but I get negative response like described above. I have a German account, my password contains special character #.
Would be great if this could work 🙂
Hello,
not working for german people 🙁
Is there a way for Amazon Instant Prime Video to authenticate without username and password similar to how I can authenticate my Sony Bravia TV to access Prime Video? It would be much more secure than having to input username and password.
Could you maybe state clearly at the top of this piece that this particular ‘solution’ only applies to people resident in America, i.e. amazon.com, so that people around the rest of the world don’t have their expectations raised unecessarily and waste their time trying to install it? It would help.
thanks for your feedback sir. As you said we have made a note that it will work on for amazon.com
I’m having the same problem as a few. Yes, I am in the US. I can not authenticate my log in credentials for Amazon Prime. I double checked everything. This is actually my second time going through a process to get Amazon Prime on Kodi. Both worked up until my credentials. Any idea?
I am also having the sign-in issues for Amazon Prime as the others are having. Yes, I am in the US as well. Help?
I cannot sign in with my US credentials either. Tried several times….no luck.
I can’t sign in either. Here in the US, credentials are fine.
No resolution to this as of yet. I still cant login
Six months and no response from the author on this addon, that’s not encouraging. I too am accessing Amazon from the US and get the authentication error. I you’re going to post this to the public the least you could do is let us know if a fix will be forthcoming.
Doesn’t work for canada either.
Agree. Kodi 17.4 under Raspbian Jessie not working with Amazon VOD. Keeps saying that email / pass incorrect when not. Specific error shows:
“Login error. Unknown error. Please enable advanced debugging in settings and check avod-login.log/avod-login-si.log/avod-login-mfa.log”
No such advanced debugging option exists and scanning the whole pi for avod anything returns zilch. The system (KODI/Amazon VOD) is bugged. Most of these addons I find do not work most of the time. The only one which works consistently but is on a timer, is Youtube.
