Integration with international Amazon sites

Question:

Does Centova Cast's Amazon integration support the use of international Amazon sites such as amazon.ca, amazon.fr, etc?

Answer:

This feature is not officially supported by Centova Technologies, nor is it well-tested. There is, however, an undocumented option which may do what you need. To enable it, add the following line to the end of /usr/local/centovacast/etc/centovacast.conf:

AMAZON_LOCALE=CA

Replace CA with any of the following two-letter country codes:

  • CA - Canada
  • DE - Germany
  • FR - France
  • JP - Japan
  • UK - United Kingdom
  • US - United States (the default)

Once that's done, you will need to perform full media library updates for each stream (login to each stream, click AutoDJ->Media, click "Manual library update, and then when it completes, click thePerform full media library update` button on the right) to bring in the new cover information from your international Amazon site.
