Describe the bug

The first attempt to open a menue ends with "corrupted video cache"
The addon does not open menues with reference to videos.
The same video is presented everywhere.
Same error as #830 ?

You will find the work around in this thread as I was having video cache issues and website not working.

Amazon VOD not working #827

@behemoth38 please test commit 70abe07. This should fix this issue for amazon.* users

I had that error (corrupted video cache) trying to open watchlist. after the patch there is no error but list is almost empty. just shows 1 random entry...

raspi4 and same soft spec as op
also I cleared cache via options before testing the fix

[dljones8053]

These changes worked as I now can use Website vs Andriod mode, also if anyone made changes to line 980 that was posted the other day #829 please change it back. Website will work with the changes made to line 980 but it's really slow. Once you change linw 980 back the watchlist is really snappy.

[behemoth38]

To my regret the switch from "input stream" to "android" did not change anything. Not for the Raspi/libreelec installation nor for the Android installation on my tablet nor the installation on my laptop under lubuntu. Perhaps I am too clumsy only, and somebody should hold my hand.

Hi Sandman79,
i had same issue and commit 70abe07 works fine for me, after cleaning cache.

thanks for fast fix.

[Sandmann79]

@orkanaye did you cleared both caches? If yes, is there any error message in the log?

@dljones8053 this behavior is completely normal and has nothing to do with the patch. The first time you access the watchlist, the video cache is populated, which can take some time. On future visits, the data (if available) is retrieved from the cache, which is much faster.

@behemoth38 please do not confuse the playback method with the data source for navigation/video metadata. For most users, "Inputstream" should be fine as the playback method. With the Android data source, only the server endpoints used by the Android app are used for the menus and video information. This provides less information than the website data source—but it does not build up a cache, which speeds up the display of information.

@cow-crash thanks for testing. You're a PrimeVideo.com or Amazon.* member?

[orkanaye]

possibly the reboot changed things. After clearning "both" cache again, and reboot, the watchlist now works. thank you! (70abe07)

[behemoth38]

I also want to thank very much for the help that has been provided also to me. Am 24. Juni 2026 16:29:53 MESZ schrieb orkanaye ***@***.***>:

I'am prime germany member

[thebaron999]

I'm also a German Prime Video User and can confirm that at least on my Vero 4K OSMC box the fix above worked. Will also test it on my Nokia 8010. Will the fix bei applied to a newer version of the addon soon?

[Mozzie-AU]

Ive just completed a couple more hours of debugging and found another bug/fix Ive sent a puul request that will hopefully help address these issues.

Sorry if I caused any confusing and thanks to all for getting this working again using Website as it is a much cleaner interface. What can I say I'm old and retired that hate changes. lol

Running Kodi on Windows 11, now I have Amazon VOD, Paramount+, Disney+, and Peacoock all working within Kodi, I enjoy having everything in one location.

Again Thanks to all
