INSTALL INFORMATION

INSTALL VIDEO

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

Enable the script

LATEST PATCHES
1.86

Added more backups for translating less common new words that have no saved definitions on LingQ

…

1.43

See Install Video

Updated Tampermonkey script and returned to Tampermonkey script reliance. Note: Bringing the subtitles into the mainscript resulted in a whole range of timing and update issues. This change has been reverted.

Bug fix for loading on domains other than primevideo.com. (all Amazon specific domains should now be accepted. e.g. amazon.com)

You must click the Load with Rooster Button before playing each video.
