Boxee Box + Amazon Video on Demand? Does anyone know if the Boxee Box will support Amazon Video On Demand natively?

Another voice requesting an Amazon Video/music app for Boxee Box. It would be great to have Boxee Box added to the list of devices compatible with Amazon Instant Video:

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. Only Amazon on Demand. I called them and tech support does not know if they're planning to add it at some point.

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.

I know there are people working on the Linksys Extenders to allow Boxee to work with them. It would be a 3rd party firmware you'd have to flash on your extender, but if it allows Boxee, then you'd be able to watch any site's streaming content.

Boxee is still not there yet. Dont waste your money on it, its a good concept, but still has a long way to go and is overpriced. I have also been looking for a option to stream content from internet. But, I havent found a good solution. For now, I hooked up my laptop to the tv...until I find a good solution.

No. I contacted Netgear about this very thing and they said that these players do not support html 5, the format necessary for Amazon Instant video.

I have not succeeded in setting up Amazon Video directly on this set. Instead, I set up Amazon Video on my connected TIVO. Also, some modern BluRay players, and other streaming devices like ROKU can access Amazon Video. Sorry if this is not much help.

The browser is one of the key differences. It's not great. I have both units. Roku in the master bedroom Boxee in the Living Room. Vudu is great & has 5.1 Stereo on Boxee & HD & HDX video. Hulu Plus (right now) is only on Roku (major (major) disappointment) Netflix is great on both services. Software interface is great on both (slightly better on Boxee). If Boxee ever get's their act together... it'll be worth the $$$. I like both. If VUDU & Browser are not very important... get Roku. (BTW: Boxee has a nice interface to your home computer network. You can watch videos, view photos etc. on your TV)

Please, someone that has actually done this should be the one to answer. The reason I say that is because I just recently (within a week ago from right now) discovered, along with other people, that it is still not possible to watch Amazon Instant Video material on an Android Tablet unless it's one of Amazon's tablets. If anyone has direct, personal experience to the contrary with this exact tablet model, please post up.

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.

No, amazon has a pretty tight lid set on what can and cannot access its video services, and the majority of android devices are not given access. There are of course ways around this, the easiest of which is view through the browser, (chrome usually works best for me). All other standard android video apps will work though, such as Netflix and the like. If you're looking for Amazon video compatibility on a tablet, then your best bet is to go with a kindle, (any version will work, and the KF2 can be found on Amazon for 99 dollars).

Yes. Use built in Amazon App and go to your Prime page or instant video page once inside app. It works well.

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.

The 6400 series has the amazon video app yes. I have watched a couple amazon prime videos on it. Pretty good experience. It has netflix, hulu, skype, twitter, facebook etc..but remember you must connect to a router to make it work. its all through an internet connection.
