Amazon video streaming!!!

So how is that going to work? Amazon plans to keep the file in a section of the site, "Your Video Library," available to users every time they return, watchable from any device they can access the site from. This, the company hopes, will prevent the annoyance of dealing with DRMed files, while still keeping the files strictly within the control of Amazon.

So, perhaps a little screen scraping will be in order, something similar to the Netflix plugin. Depending on the format, it may even be useable to NMT and, dare I say it, MVPs?!?! (Yes, it'd have to be MPEG2 unless you could transcode on the server...)

I think that I'm personally going to wait a while before looking into a plugin for it. Their "Unbox" service left a lot to be desired.

Yes, but this is supposed to work differently. We'll see, I'll investigate if you want.

If you get it working and you say it's worth a plugin, I'll work on it as soon as I finish the Netflix plugin. I may have to ask for donations to support purchases though. I have to keep the ruler of the house appeased.
