will it play amazon prime video

It will. I see this as an early adopter gadget. The power cord went out. I replaced it but for some reason it reboots on its own when doing some simple tasks. If I get it to watch a movie it plays fine. Hoping to get an update that will fix it.

I also forgot to add. You should really check out the freaktab site for comments on the device. Several glitches as far as quality have been noted. Beware of the power mini usb breaking. Mine i thought i handled carefully but it still broke. I can solder electronics but it still took me over three hours to fix. Many had warned me at freaktab. The wifi is buggy depending on the version you get, The speed is not 1.6 although if your brave to break it open and put on a heatsink the 1.7 version root rom can get you that fast. And there are many more issues. Not all specifically to the ug802 but these devices in general. So i highly suggest you check out that site for info. I also forgot to add.

I didn't try, but I think it should. It has no problems playing video from eTVnet. The bottom line is: if you can do something with an Android phone over WiFi, this device will do it too.

O just saw the first post not all there. Heres the rest.. I am also looking forward to "PicUntu" which will allow a linux android dual boot. With "linux PicUntu" the issues with flash support and the websites like cbs,hulu recognizing the pc as android, and thereby blocking the device, should no longer be an issue simce i would see picuntu, a version of Ubuntu, instead. But there is no timetable as to when it will be ready for the average customer. Another poster mentioned slatedroid for articles referring to picuntu. So i continue to wait.

From what I can tell none of the Samsung players support Amazon Prime vids. We have a Sony and a Samsung player. The Sony has a bunch of apps including Amazon. The Samsung is very crude by comparison when it comes to supported apps. Must be a turf issue between Samsung, Sony and Amazon.

No, amazon prime is still very select and will only work with Kindle or PC units like laptops and desktops.

Yes...it has the "Amazon Prime Instant Video." I've never used it, but it's there. :)

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

This player does support Amazon Prime Instant Video. It is included in the menu of services the player can utilize.

If you mean the Amazon Prime videos for viewing, the answer is NO. That is the main reason why this did not suit my needs.

I never tried Amazon Prime with this unit, but I bet it will work if you use your computer for Amazon Prime. I used to listen to YouTube videos with this until I got a new computer last year.

Yes it does. I watch free, streaming Amazon Prime movies and TV shows all the time. I also watch the movies and TV shows Amazon sells. The stuff I purchase is streamed from their servers whenever I want to watch them.

Yes you can play the prime videos. However, the kindle has a totally different operating system. The surface operates on microsoft's store. Kindle operates on android.

"Amazon Instant Video" is available out of the box....not sure if Prime can be added or not.

Yes the Amazon prime is built in and it's fast. It sees any media on a computer like videos too. If you have media on a flash drive they also show up and are really fast to watch like a series as the player will play one show after another. Ant the remote is way cool.

No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap. I called LG and inquired about it. They said they have not created a new download to make it work with Amazon Prime and that it "was not a priority at this time". So in other words, they will never create the download to make it work with Amazon Prime even though it advertises that it does work with it. I use it on a spare bedroom TV because the Blu Ray and Netflix work great, but still disappointed that I am not getting full use out of it. It only cost me $32.99 so I'm not too upset either. Panasonic has awesome Blu Ray players, but you are going to pay a little more. Good luck to you. No. It will stream Netflix but not Amazon Prime movies. That's why it is so cheap.

Hi Barbara, this is a disc player for blu-ray. If "Prime Time" is in a blu-ray disc, it works on this player. Otherwise, you need to find an appropriate disc player.

No. None of the Android sticks can play Amazon Instant Video. You'll have to pick up something like a Roku or similar device. There's a list of compatible devices here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices#Streaming Media Player

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.
