[ale] Help - Amazon Prime Video access?

Roku has native support for amazon video, no need for plex for it.

Looking for some help from the clever people here.

About 2 months ago, Amazon Prime Video (APV) streaming stopped working for
Linux
devices. Seems that Flash 11.2.x doesn't have the DRM necessary (OSX and
Windows
have Flash 11.7.x).  Most Android devices aren't working anymore either.

I currently have an XBMC/Linux machine (same one I demo'd at ALE-NW in June)
connected to the TV, so it can't playback APV either, but I'm very willing
to
use a Plex client and run a Plex Media Server - PMS - on another machine
(cough
Win7) on the network to handle APV content.

Anyone think this mix has any chance of working?
Amazon --> Win7/PlexServer --> Linux/PlexClient --> TV

Or should I give up, purchase a Roku3, and install PMS to let the Roku
access
local media? The Roku has an Amazon Prime app built-in already, so just
local
media access is an issue.

Will it work?
