Hello all,
since yesterday I have a brandnew Raspberry Pi 2 and installed OSMC on it
I also have 2 Raspberry B with Kodi and used this tutorial to install Amazon Prime and it works fine
But i cant do that on OSMC
there is no option to “install from zip” file in add on section
please help thats urgent for me to change from Kodi to OSMC
I am sure I saw that option when I was checking out OSMC the other day, but seem to recall that it is quite well hidden!
Next time I am on I will check it out, but hopefully some kind soul will post here in meantime to give you it’s exact location!
many thanks !
change the skin to confluence, not all options seem to be implemented in osmc skin already
I already have changed to confluence
where did you get amazon plugin?
It’s there, go to settings>addons then click on the … (dots) at the top left until you back out all the way, you will see install from zip here.
ok, thought i have to download like tunein plugin
I don’t know about the prime plugin, I am responding to where the “install from zip” choice is located
many thanks i find the releted menu setting now
Amazon Prime is now working fine
Hi perlian,
I just installed a KODI plugin on my OSMC Alpha 4 on RPi2, works great for my machine … followed the instructions given here: http://www.tutonaut.de/anleitung-amazon-prime-instant-video-kodi-xbmc-einrichten.html … mybe it’s the same plugin that you are referring to (unfortunately in German).
Best wishes!
many thanks for help
yes its the same tutorial that i have used
of course in german (im a german guy 
)
In the meantime… after i switched to confluence skin the option to install from ZIP is visible
Amazon prime is now working fine on my RPI 2
Next time i will switch off my old RPI B and work with OSMC on RPI 2
The install from Zip is also in the OSMC skin.
I believe it’s in: Settings > Other… > Add-ons
Yes, this method installs amazon prime, but will it play? The rpi, nor the rpi2, to my knowledge, can’t use adobe flash player.
Probably won’t play no. I just answered how you install add-ons
Yeah, I don’t spreche german too good, but I know how to use translate.google.com real well. It states you need to do this:
but no adobe flash for the pi, so why do it?
I can confirm that the addon works on rpi b and rpi2
Yes, but can you watch the amazon prime movies on the pi?
Yes I can watch amazon prime instant video movies on my rpi with this addon. You can also choose the quality of the stream. With rpi2 1080p also works. With rpi b i had stuttering on 1080p.
Works great here too, running Rpi2 with OSMC RC
Seems VERY choosy as to which shows will work - get a lot of ‘failed to play’ messages.
So far I have had the best luck with the Amazon produced exclusive series.
