I rooted my Kindle successfully using the great video tutorials here, but since then the Amazon video feature does not work. It says my device is not configured to allow the streaming video when I try to play and the play buttons are greyed out.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix for it? Thanks!

What Rom are you using?
If stock or stock related, you can use OTA Rootkeeper to make Amazon Video think it is not rooted.

It is Kindle stock rooted, no custom ROM.
Thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded and installed Rootkeeper and Amazon video still isn't working. I even tried to temp unroot with no luck.
You have to use the Unroot button.
Then, go to Setup -> Applications
Select Amazon Video
Choose Force close
Now try it. Amazon video basically runs all the time, so until you force close it, it will think you are still rooted.

So do I do this each time I wanna watch any amazon videos or is it a one time fix with long term watching enabled?

Same problem here. Every app I disabled disappeared from launcher except for Amazon MP3, and it's driving me nuts
You could "freeze" the app with titanium backup, which removes the shortcut icon and makes sure the app cant start. Big advantage is that you can still install OTA's. It comes with a price tho..

Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. And it doesn't work with Amazon MP3. It stays in the launcher and crashes when trying to launch it.

AAAHH Im in the same boat too, there must be a way..
If you have permanent root, and Titanium Bakcup, you should be able to permanently removed the app. Just go the backup/restore tab at the top, go the app you want to remove (Amazon mp3) and hold it for a while...there should be an option for forced removed the app. The phone will then reboot itself, and once rebooted you will find it is completely gone. The only down side is you cant update OTA anymore. But really who cares? very soon we will see custom ROMs popping up everywhere. I am pretty sure they will contain the latest updates.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this on another forum:
com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
Hope this works

Tried it already, doesn't work
I have a kindle fire I recently purchased and I have tried a few different cm7 and cm9 roms, but the scrabble app doesn't seem to work in any of them, or rather, it works but won't go full screen and simply loads in a tiny window.
Any idea how to resolve this? I have tried disabling and enabling the disable fullscreen option, but it doesnt seem to fix it.
Thanks
It works on stock if you buy it through the Amazon Appstore

There isn't any way to get this on a nonstock rom is there?
Also, can you explain a little more about the lcd resolution?
Thanks to the both of you!
EDIT: I tried switching to the hellfire rom and scrabble seems to work perfectly well on it.
Hi folks, any of you run into this problem? The Kindle app ran fine on 4.2, but after the 4.2.1 update, every time I try to open it, it FC. Tried rebooting the device with no avail.
I'm running stock 4.2.1 and the kindle app runs fine...

I ended up going into App Info and deleting the data for Kindle. It worked after that.

Moral of the story: one has to do what has to be done and can be done before crying wolf.
Deleting/restoring all data with the Kindle app is a painful process if you have a lot of books loaded - I have 200. You have to individually elect and reload every book you want on your device. It is irritating that there is not an option to download all archived items or at least a multi-select capability. Oh, yeah, please add collections ...

EXACTLY! We should petition Amazon for this feature. It's ridiculous that I have to press, hold, and hit download for every. single. book. I would welcome a select all or multi-select feature.
After update to 4.2.1 the Kindle app hangs at the splash screen.
Neither clearing data nor reinstall helps.
What else can I do?
My TV provider made an app for us so we can watch tv or recorded stuff from my recorder at home on my tablet/phone.
Whenever i try to watch tv on it it says ' your phone is rooted and therefore not supported by this app'.
I've reset my flashcounter with triangle away but it still detects i'm rooted
So how does an app detect if i am rooted and is there a way i can make the app believe i am not rooted so i can watch tv on my phone?
