INSTALL INFORMATION
Amazon Prime uses a different mechanism than Youtube/Netflix to retrieve their subtitles. Unfortunately they have managed to hide their subtitles by placing them in a different scope of data. We need to utilize a tool like TamperMonkey which allows greater control of webpage manipulation. You will still need to install the Amazon Prime Tools Extension in conjunction.
Instructions to Install Tampermonkey and Rooster Subtitles script
(Instructions for Disney - same for Amazon Prime)
Install TamperMonkey
Copy and paste the script located inside subtitlesAmazon.js (In the ZIP folder)
Save the Script
