</div></div>I did not do it through Mythbrowser. But last night I watched some<br>
Amazon video shows through chromium on my mythfrontend box. I was<br>
impressed with what I saw. In particular there were no<br>
advertisements. Yes, thank you!<br>
<br>
I have a browser plug-in that automatically disables flash. So I<br>
can't remember the last time I actually used flashplayer. But the<br>
amazon video flash applet performed quite well. It loaded quickly and<br>
didn't hog CPU cycles. I'm not sure if that is because flashplayer<br>
has improved since I last used it or what.<br>
<br>
I was disappointed to not see an option to use the HTML5 <video> tag.<br>
I'm sure amazon would have trouble getting the content providers to<br>
agree to drop the adobe flash DRM.<br>
<br>
Integrating Amazon video support into MythTV would be great. But I<br>
guess they wont publish an open API for it. I would love to be proven<br>
wrong though<br>

<br>I may pay the $79 just to show my support. I've been looking for some kind of scraper via xbmc / navi-x / Boxee / Plex but haven't found anything yet.</div></div>
