Kinoma Notes

The Ama­zon Unbox video store is a great place to buy and rent DVD-quality movies and videos. I’ve used it more than once when I needed some­thing new to watch.

The only down­side was that I couldn’t take pur­chases with me, at least with­out buy­ing another device that I really didn’t need. Also, I didn’t want to have to remem­ber to con­vert and trans­fer pur­chases every time I went anywhere.

Here’s some excel­lent news — you can use Kinoma Player, along with Orb, to play your Ama­zon Unbox videos right on your phone. Here’s how:

• Down­load and install Orb on a PC autho­rized to play your Ama­zon Unbox videos. (Since AOL’s Winamp Remote is a re-branded ver­sion of Orb, it should work too.)
• Use Web (Blazer) on your device to go to my.orb.com, and con­firm that you can play other video and audio from your PC with Kinoma Player.
• Make sure Orb is con­fig­ured to look for video in your Ama­zon Unbox video folder. It’s at C:UsersPublicVideosAmazon Unbox on Vista by default, and you’re all set if Orb is already con­fig­ured to look in that folder’s par­ent folder (C:UsersPublicVideos).
• Enjoy Ama­zon Unbox video everywhere!

If you run into any prob­lems, remem­ber that our forum is a great place to get help from the Kinoma community.
