Turns out that it is possible to load and play prime videos - thanks to some help from @khaost! I’ll be posting updates on this thread and hopefully if I run into any problems, someone will be kind and knowledgeable enough to help 🙏🏻😁.
-- After successful sign in, Amazon products load. (Workaround: Click “Done” to dismiss.)
-- After signing in, Prime Video may not load. (Workaround: Force quit the app, and relaunch.)
-- The default Amazon video player buttons react to your gaze when they are hidden. (No workaround)
-- Video controls may not work properly (no workaround)
What I would like to know:
-- Does Prime live TV work?
-- Is there anything that you do that results in something unexpected happening (like visit another part of Amazon)?
-- General suggestions
Please report enhancement requests, bugs, or other issues you find here:
Some progress moving away from overriding CSS values directly on the episodes list. This should make it less likely for an Amazon update to break the UI tweaks I made.
Taking longer than I would like since I don’t know javascript but I’m slowly getting the hang of it lol
I also have a rough idea of what the video player controls will look like. Hard part is going to be actually finding how to call Amazon’s code for their video player controls. I was thinking maybe there is a way to simulate a keyboard press using javascript?… since Amazon already has that implemented for their video player. If anyone knows if that’s possible, lmk! I would really appreciate it. :)
Besides that, I need to tweak the CSS again in a few other places so that it isn’t being changed directly so it won’t break in an Amazon update. Also need to remove a few of the other buttons like “watch party” and “more purchase options”.
