Thanks, i fought through to getting to the add-on requiring widewine before i found your reply (sorry). Widewine is buried in a Chrome image and needs 2.0GB to unpack.
I’m trying to find a way to redirect where is unpacks, or do this on another machine and relocate widevine.
Complicated? bloody hell!
Writin a whole new vero-centric guide as I go here
Df -h shows i have 9.9gb free, so intalling widevine now…
I wrote a full step-by-step guide, modified from the hard work of others:

Hi! I followed the newer set of instructions here:
to install on my Vero 4k+ and I was able to access Netflix just fine.
Amazon Prime is being more stubborn about working.
Here’s the version info for my Vero 4k+:
$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME=“Open Source Media Center”
NAME=“OSMC”
VERSION=“October 2022”
VERSION_ID=“2022.10-1”
ID=osmc
ID_LIKE=debian
ANSI_COLOR=“1;31”
HOME_URL=“https://osmc.tv”
SUPPORT_URL=“https://osmc.tv”
BUG_REPORT_URL=“https://osmc.tv”
Here’s the version numbers for the addons:
$ ls -ltr /addons

When I try to use the Amazon VOD, I’m logged in, but all the various
lists are empty. No Movies listed, no TV Shows listed and I created a
Watch list from my MBP13 logged into Amazon Prime from Safari and
added two things to the Watch list. Nothing shows up via Amazon VOD.
I’ve tried:
- Uninstalling Amazon VOD and reinstalling it without rebooting.
No joy on accessing anything in any list. - Uninstalling Amazon VOD, rebooting, reinstalling Amazon VOD,
rebooting. No joy in accessing anything in any list.
Here’s a log snippet from my last attempt to access the Watch list:

I don’t know if the log snippet has any useful diagnostic or not. I can also do
a repro with debug logging enabled and upload the logs that way.
Thanks, in advance, for any help with Amazon VOD.
I installed the Netflix and Amazon VOD add-ons onto:
- Raspberry Pi 3b+ running OSMC
- MacMini running 10.13.6 running Kodi 19.4
- MacMini running 11.7.2 running Kodi 19.4
- MBP13 running 11.7.2 running Kodi 19.4
- MBP13 running 10.13.6 running Kodi 19.4
The Netflix add-on works for all of the above and the Amazon VOD fails in
the same way for all of the above.
