Streamlink Help please

[CPR]

Having a few problems with Streamlink Manager so hoping someone can help me out please.

1:Trying to add the James Bond movies from Amazon Prime to my library but can’t get any Streamlink to work on my Apple TV.
Can anyone give me an example of a working url for Amazon Prime UK please,everything I’ve tried only works on iOS not TVOS.

2:Not sure if it’s a bug with Channels but every Netflix Streamlink created auto plays regardless of whether it contains Title or Watch in the url,clicking this link https://www.netflix.com/title/70153404 outside of Channels on my iPhone or iPad takes me to the landing page of Friends but doesn’t auto play however in Channels it starts playing the last episode watched!

3:How are people handling TV Shows,from what I can gather Streamlink Manager can’t create episode urls with Disney+ or Netflix so if for example adding The Simpsons on Disney+ will give you over 700 episodes clicking on any one will simply take you to the landing page on Disney+ where you have to search for that particular episode again,this is more of a problem with Netflix because as above it auto plays the next episode as opposed to the one you may have selected in Channels.Is this what people are doing?

None of the above is criticism of the developers or contributors of Channels I’m sure it’s more user error on my behalf!!
I’m in the UK using UK Netflix,Prime and Disney+ incase that helps.
Thank you for reading

What does your current Stream Link Mapping look like? What have you tried?

It's not playing in Channels, it's playing in Netflix. It is function of whatever your device is (AppleTV, I'm assuming, based on everything else you've said) and the Netflix app. There might be a setting in the Netflix app that starts an auto-play. Maybe something in the UK version of the app due to certain regulations? Tough to say for sure.

I'm using the Stream Link Override function for these situations where it matters enough:

Yes, for something with a ton of episodes, this can take a long time. Unfortunately, it is necessary due to what is available from the link provider. I have been told that they are working on getting Disney+ cleaner with direct episode links, but that was months ago and there's been no progress. They didn't mention anything specific about Netflix. Without an update coming from them anytime soon, manually overriding per episode is really the only way.

In reply to this part I’m aware it’s not playing in Channels,let me try and explain a bit clearer.
I’m viewing this webpage on my iPhone in safari,if I click this link “https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/70153404” now it opens Netflix on my iPhone and takes me to the landing page of Friends as would be expected,but if I use the same link as a Streamlink for Friends and open the Channels app on the same iPhone and click watch it opens the Netflix app and auto plays Friends.
Its the same phone opening the same Netflix app but reacting in 2 different ways.

I’ve found the problem with Amazon Prime,even though I’m in the UK I need to set the Country Code to US and let SLM override the string with www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/ and then it works,I was trying to use amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/ which I assumed would work in the UK.
