Amazon Video On Demand Plugin begun - would like help

I have started work on an amazon video on demand plugin.



I have basic searching of amazon done and can show search results of shows and series with a drill downs into seasons etc.



My problem is now the siteconfigurations file.



I’m not sure even how to go about going about cropping it properly. He is what I notice about amazon’s vod player and some of the problems I would like to solve with the site configurations file


  • flashbased player is setup using javascript
  • player width varies with browser width
  • how to use keyboard shortcuts for pause etc instead of clicks (http://perlster.com/2009/06/12/amazon-video-on-demand-keyboard-shortcuts/)



    Right now, when I click on a show, it just spins and says that it’s loading the video but it never actually seems to enter the video player.

As it turns out, I had made a copy of another site configuration xml file and had put the amazon url in there and it was in conflict with the site configuration file that I was working on.

At this point, amazon videos are now playing properly and I'm just trying to figure out how to make the amazon control bar on the bottom go away. The problem is that some of the video content is layed out underneath the bar and so cropping causes you to loose out on some of the video =(

Has anyone tackled this with other sites at all?
