does this streaming player have the amazon VOD app or not? Amazon says it is compatible... however the panasonic website states coming soon?

Yes, it's there for the DMP-MST60. I gave it a quick test and it connects to Amazon successfully and offers content. I don't have a Prime account and they don't seem to offer any samples, so I couldn't test the streaming performance.

It does not have an Amazon Prime app. It works with Netflix (but can only play stuff from your instant queue, no browsing), Blockbuster, Film Fresh and vTuner. It does not have built in wireless either, so you need an ethernet cable or a usb wi fi dongle (it comes with a cheapo one with terrible range). While I'm here, a few extra caveats: the disc noise on this player is much higher than on other portables I've used, and the built in speakers are horrible quality and are very quiet. I would not buy this unless it's especially cheap. Screen quality is very good for a portable though... though the viewing angles are very narrow even by portable player standards.

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

The issue, as I understand it, is that for some odd reason, according to Amazon, Samsung decided to leave off the App Amazon uses for their Video-On-Demand (VoD) service. What's messed up is that the 2009, 2010, and 2012 TV's allow Amazon's VoD service, but the 2011 sets don't. I called Samsung and they confirmed this, but blames Amazon. On the other hand Amazon blames Samsung.Hope that answers your question.

stopped working for me too. I bet the xmas spike caused their servers to fall over. has anyone figured out how to skip the viera cast screen and just go direct to Amazon VOD? hey Amazon, if you're reading this, ask your OEM partners to include a VOD button that skips their crappy software and goes direct to Amazon.

it has StreamTV support which is basically like a linux computer with apps like Roku on board... Vudu, who is a Netflix competitor supports the apps... they are pretty good and include twitter facebook etc. Vudu is a no subscription, $2 rental service, which for most people makes it more expensive than Netflix, but it's very premium.... it has very wide support of hot cable series like californication True Blood etc (Amazon is almost as good and Netflix is way far behind on this)..... also Vudu doesn't have a 30 day restriction on new releases like Amazon and Netflix, so anything that comes out on DVD Blu ray is available the day of release.... also if it is available on bluray, then Vudu has itin 1080 which blows away Netflix and Amazon who selectively offer HD content... Netflix is cheap, but it's really not that great.... Amazon Prime is sorta free but is really lacking in HD.... Vudu is premium but will end up costing you if you watch a lot.... My bet is Mitsu will make it an open platform at some point and you will be able to get anything

No. Amazon is not one of the User Interface Apps built in to the TV. However, you can purchase many blu ray players for about a hundred bucks that have Amazon Instant Video, such as my Panasonic. It's still cumbersome though

Prime videos are NOT supported by AOSP at all, so it is not available on any platform that is not a direct partner with Amazon. Another way around it is XBMC with the Amazon add-on but currently on the support libstage builds the add-on is not supported. Give it some time and you can "maybe" have this feature by default on this unit but it will never come from the Playstore.

Panasonic apps include Amazon instant streaming, with a pretty good interface. I am not sure about Pandora, as I have never looked.

I own the BD-P1600 it only streams Netflix, Youtube, Blockbuster, & Pandora it does not appear to have an app for Amazon streaming, so my answer is No, but perhaps the 2012 & 2013 Samsung models do, also you'll need to buy a pricey Samsung adapter to get this model to go wireless. I recommend buying different model with wifi built in to avoid extra cost & hassles if you continue searching through models you should come across another player with the streaming options of your choice good luck happy shopping :)

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

Sounds like a simple question but I have tried out so many products I will need to check. I think it is at the lake house. I can watch amazon on my Panasonic Blu Ray player and on on Roku, I also use slingbox so I just watch my tv at home at the lake. I know I bought it but drawing a blank right now. I will get back with you.

I think everyone interested in this should contact Amazon. At the moment, the response is that they will forward the request to the VOD team. The more they hear the same request, the more they may consider it. My email: This is just a kind request to offer Video on Demand on the LG BD570 player via Netcast. I realize that it's offered offered on BD670, but seeing as the 570 is still being sold (I purchased it less than a year ago), I think you can gain more customers. I am planning on cancelling my Netflix account and am considering VOD for myself. My mother is using the BD570 and I want to order a VOD service for her as well. According to the LG responses to this request, it's not their decision, but Amazon's. Most consumers are posing the request to LG, but you can see from the discussions on Amazon that this is something wanted. Amazon's response: Hello, Thanks for suggesting that we provide Amazon Instant Video content for LG BD570 Blu-ray Player. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos. I appreciate your thoughts and I have forwarded your suggestion to the Instant Video team.

My understanding (based on some of the Squeezebox forums) is that Amazon would have to provide APIs for the streaming service. I doubt they would do this since it would compete with Amazon products (even though there hasn't been a squeezebox product released in a while). It's too bad they don't... I would probably sign up with Prime if they did.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

Yeah, I'm stuck using Netflix + Vudu despite being an Amazon junkie. Would love to watch Amazon movies on one of my devices (xbox 360, boxee, apple tv), but none of them support it. Come on Amazon. Kindle rules because it works on every device, why isn't Amazon video the same?

This Tv doesn't have an app for Amazon. However , I would highly recommend researching Roku. It's a hockey Puck sized device that provides hundreds of apps including amazon
