As of pepper flash 11.3.31.323 it still does not work!!! When will Google incorporate the latest DRM (digital right management) now employed on recent Amazon Instant Videos?

Sometimes it works, sometimes not. It crashes the flash plug-in for me. I watched the entire first season of Big Bang Theory just fine.... then I paid $30.00 for the second season and I can't watch it! PLEASE FIX IT AMAZON.

I am having the same problem and can't find a plugin or extension to resolve the issue. Chrome OS doesn't recognize Silverlight (or other browsers) thereby rendering all Amazon video on my laptop inaccessible. Anyone with a workaround please advise. At the time of this posting, this thread is over a year old!

Yes, This has a web browser. Kinda hard to use since you have to use the on screen keyboard though. It also has the option of viewing netflix (In fact the remote has a "Netflix" button) and Hulu Plus and a couple others. Unfortunately it does not have an app for viewing Amazon instant video. I checked the instant video compatibility on Amazon's website and Sharp seems to be one of the only unsupported TV's

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

Same problem here. I have been looking into flashing the firmware on my LG BD-590 blu-ray player with the app for Amazon instant video to Netcast. Have not found anything yet. I think when a manufacturer flashes the software to the firmware chip then that is the end of it. LG just recently added Amazon to Netcast on the new models. So we may have to purchase another devise to get the Amazon Netcast app. What I have been doing to watch Amazon VOD is to use my laptop HDMI out to my HD TV. Just logon to your Amazon Prime account and watch on PC or video out to TV via HDMI if you have that capability.

Currently the only tablet which can access Amazon's Instant Video services is the Amazon Kindle Fire line. The Amazon App store and/or Google Play app store do not offer an Amazon Video App for any other devices.

You should be able to stream Amazon video if you access it using Chrome browser. Otherwise, try sideloading Adobe flash version that's a generation older. That has worked with my Android tablets.

Wade C.,Amazon Instant Video's app is not available on that model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

You would have to side load it like you do on a rooted phone. Do a Google search for Amazon instant video apk for android then download it. Go to the downloads folder and install. I'm sure it will work Samsung did a great job on leaving it like an open source platform. I can't say for sure cause I don't use amazon prime but I'm willing to bet it can be done I went thru 3 apks for hulu before I found one I liked but all did work. Hope I helped

Make sure you download and install the "Amazon for Tablets" THEN download and install the "Amazon Prime Instant Video". By the way, get the apps from the Amazon.Com site because when I tried to get from the Google App Store, they wouldn't install.

Amazon instant videos? I'm 62 and still trying to figure out how to stream Netflix. (I have, by the way!) Better check with someone else. Good luck!

Microsoft has a usb direct line to connect to a HDMI TV.But may I suggest something a little easier if you have Wi-Fi. Try Amazon FIRE. You can connect directly to your HDTV with this device and watch Amazon PRIME Movies. It comes linked to YOUR ACCOUNT so there's no searching for your favorite shows. It also shows Netflix, HULU plus and many more channels. It comes with its own remote making it easier to search and control the content you watch.And no...this is not a commercial.....I am actually a CHROMECAST user myself and love it but I am not sure is compatible with Microsoft.

I updated to the latest FW as of Sept 2015. It works with Amazon but has some problems. CC doesn't work correctly - If you turn it on, then off, then back on, it will permanently display "This is sample text" on your screen with no more captions. If you try to fast forward or rewind, it gets mixed up on where it is. Fast forward may dump you near the beginning of the movie. Seems to be random. This makes it very hard to back up and replay something you've missed. Finally, after about 15 minutes of play, it will go to a screen saver screen. You just need to push a remote button to clear this. Sad that Sony can fix these FW issues. I updated to the latest FW as of Sept 2015. It works with Amazon but has some problems.

There are a few 3rd party apps out there that claim they can get Amazon Prime Videos to work on an android device, but I haven't been able to get them to work. A V.P. with Amazon did announce 4-5 weeks ago that Amazon was coming out with an Android app "soon" that would allow you to use android devices for the Amazon video, but did not give an official sate.

I too am interested in an Amazon instant video app for the BD-C5500. AMAZON, PLEASE DO IT!

It does support Amazon Instant Video. BUT, the smart application for this TV is outdated, does not contain Wishlist access, or the better/ newer user interface that other TVs do (like Samsung) .

I have not been able to play Amazon Prime videos on my Surface RT. Others in this thread seem to be able to. Please someone give a step-by-step answer how to do it... thanks.
