Amazon instant available? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if we can watch Amazon prime videos? Is there a workaround I was reading that Amazon has disabled the app. Are custom ROMs able to get the app working somehow? Would appreciate if anyone had some insight. Thanks

You need to use an earlier version of youtube, AFAIK the last working version with HQ is 2.1.6

You did not mention if you were running stock with MN or a custom ROM. If you are running stock with MN, you can go into NookColor Tools-->All Settings-->Manage Applications-->All-->YouTube-->Uninstall Updates to get back to version 2.1.6. You can then just go into Google Play, and uncheck the auto update box for YouTube.

I am on CM10 Kang so it comes with stock browser
I got flash here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764379
Then go to the veetle website from the stock browser. However the quality is horrible so it really isn't worth doing this but this is the only way I got it working right now... Hopefully Veetle can come out with a new version to help us out!

[Q] Using Amazon Prime

It seems they stream their videos with Flash but I guess Adobe / Google don't get along. One person from Amazon said it worked great while another person said it did not work.
But what about the books - will they work on (unrooted) the Nexus 7?
The amazon kindle app for android works just fine. Is this your question? You can also install the amazon app market on the N7 from Amazon's website.

Quick question, is Amazon Kindle app better than Google Books?
You can side load Adobe on an unrooted N7. You just have to use a browser such as Boat or Firefox.

4.2.1 update killed hdmi out only for google play movies & TV

After the update I am no longer able to use the HDMI out to display movies that I have purchased from the google play store on my television. All the other apps works fine I only have an issue with the Google play Movies & TV. I tried clearing the application data and wanted to see if anyone else had a solutions before doing a factory reset. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
Man i hope this isn't on all devises. I'm getting my nexus 10 tomorrow and i use play movies a lot. And want to use the HDMI. Hopefully there's something that you can do to fix this. Maybe someone will chime in and let us know.

Just don't update to the latest update because it worked fine for me before i updated.
Did you ever get this fixed because my Asus Transformer Pad is doing the same thing after I updated to 4.2.1?
Thanks

Is there a app to watch amazon prime on android

Does anyone have the apk download for Amazon prime. Thanks In advance!!!

I'm assuming you meant Amazon Prime Video? As of now there is no Android app for it aside from GTV app (which only works on select TVs). There's one for Kindle tablets and Fire Phone, but no other Android devices have access to it. In fact, you can rip APK off the Kindle Fire or Fire Phone and sideload it on any Android phone, but they won't work and force close on any device other than Kindle. As of now, your only option to watch Amazon Prime Video on Android is to use browser that supports Flash, such as Dolphin Browser.
Amazon recently did mention that they may come up with an app for other Android devices soon, but that hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it will any time soon, so I'd say browser is your best bet.
Okay, apparently it seems the app recently got released. Here's the link to it.

Amazon Instant Video should already be available on Roku. What model of Roku do you have? Depending on the model, your other option is to use screen mirroring, so long as you have supporting media streaming device.

It could be because its international variant. They're very picky about that kind of things. You could try an app called Market Helper. It's an app that helps your device disguise as some other device so you can download "incompatible" apps from Play Store. It requires root access, but if you're interested, try the link below.

If that doesn't work, well, I guess you could simply download the APK, and side load it. I did that on my Nexus 7, and it does work perfectly(it shows as incompatible on Play Store). Once you have the Amazon app, you can download Instant Video app from Amazon appstore right from Amazon app. They don't seem to check for compatibility on Instant Video app, so you should have no problem with that. It's kinda interesting as even though they say the tablets are "not supported" the app seems to adapt to tablet screen, changing UI element to fit the bigger screen. Anyways, below is the link to the APK I ripped off my phone. Enjoy

Thanks! Trying the Market Helper (and ROM Toolbox) first...
Also if you have botbrew, can't you technically install Flash w/ Firefox and watch? Never tried it since it seems overkill, but would it work in theory?
