Errors while browsing the catalog / Unable to find the navigation menu about xbmc HOT 19 CLOSED

Amazon changed the layout of the Detail page. This breaks the display of video entries.
Hopefully there won't be any more changes.
Working on a fix...

@berni123 this error message comes from the web data source. Sometimes the settings are not applied. Then it helps to start another add-on or to restart Kodi completely.

Btw v1.0.4 has just been uploaded, which makes the web data source functional again.

from xbmc.

Amazon has now changed even more pages, so the adjustments in the add-on take more time.

In the meantime, the Android data source can be used. This is not affected by the changes. Only the profile change does not work there.

I also have the same issue. Last time it was because Amazon made changes to the VOD interface. I have cleared both the video and catalog caches to no avail. When I choose any options in My Stuff > Watchlist, I get an 'Amazon VOD error. Please look at the log' message.

System Setup (please provide the following information):

Hardware: Intel NUC i5-8259U
OS version: LibreElec 11.0.4
Kodi version number: 20.2

Account type
amazon.(com/co.uk/de/jp)

Here is the log file :

I also generated the log file from the plugin itself. It has been attached:

If there is anything else I can provide, please let me know.

also don't work here...

from xbmc.

Here [UK] it also fails ... upon vod start shows info box stating "unable to connect to 'www.amazon.co.uk'", upon "ok"ing info box terminates application and shows kodi video folder.
Update: after uninstalling, cleaning folders, and reinstalling vod 1.03, the error message is now
"Unable to find the navigation menu for www.amazon.co.uk". Rest is the same as above...
[RPi3 LE11/Kodi20 VOD 1.01 and 1.03]

from xbmc.

Presumably my error is the same cause, but the message is "Unable to find the navigation menu for https://www.primevideo.com"

NUC8, NUC11, LE11.0.5, VOD1.03

from xbmc.

I found the same problem, with the error message "Unable to find the navigation menu for primevideo.com" just like #674 . Switching to the android data source fixes it again for now, thanks for the quick workaround!!
(However now there are duplicates of all the menu entries and I don't see an option to clear the cache anymore.)

from xbmc.

Thanks Sandmann79, I tried the Android workaround and it's working as rptaylor confirmed.

We'll patiently wait on your fixes, appreciate all your hard work!

I can confim this issue since a few days ago. Fresh installation lateses Kodi-Nerds Repo with Sandman-Repo and AmazonVod 1.0.3 under Kodi/Nexus.

Switching to android does not work. Same error, same crash:

Thank you so much for all your hard work sorting this out so quickly Sandmann79, another donation on its way.

from xbmc.

Bless you. Working as it was before.

from xbmc.

Just managed to update the 3 NUCs and they are all working perfectly.

@berni123 this error message comes from the web data source. Sometimes the settings are not applied. Then it helps to start another add-on or to restart Kodi completely.

Btw v1.0.4 has just been uploaded, which makes the web data source functional again.

I feel so dumb, how do you install it ? I tried to update it from repository.sandmann79.plugins-1.0.4.zip but I don't have the choice to update to 1.0.4, I can only select 1.0.3 that I have already installed.
Do you need to uninstall it before ?

I was able to update to 1.0.4 by going to Add-ons, and then checking for updates. It appears for me as an available update.

from xbmc.

Well I was finally able to update by updating amazon vod repo instead of sandmann79s repository. It was not directly from the addon update, it's a bit weird mayeb it's because of my 9.2.8 version.
BTW 1.0.5 seems to works fine on RPi 4 and .2.8 version
