will this run amazon instant/prime videos?

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.

Don't watch Amazon prime videos but it has handled everything I have thrown at it. i.e Netflix,youtube,XBMC

No. It doesn't stream Amazon prime, however I stream directly from my PS3. Lord points out some other alternatives as well. The software is somewhat slow and buffers simultaneously on some apps (Such as YT & Google...) However Netflix streams flawlessly & it's energy efficient.

Yes, it works. Amazon Prime is my #1 app. The App. does crash from time to time and you will need to relaunch. The quality is not as good as what you get on a SONY PS3 (AmazonPrime on Sony). You can read my review of this product; my assessment is that Sony cut corners notably on Thermal and buffering.

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.

I just got mine today and yes it is compatible with Amazon Prime Videos once you link it to your account.

Yes, sort of. The work around is installing the "Dolphin" Browser. Then in the settings, you select the "type" as desktop. Amazon Video will then recognize it. I put my default home page to the Amazon Prime video webpage. Works great. I do this for all of my Android devices.

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

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

Sorry, I do not subscribe to Amazon Prime....So I would not have a first hand experience about that....I believe this Toshiba Thriver could handle that...However, your best bet is to contact Amazon Primer and ask them if the Toshiba Thriver is compatible with their Amazon Prime videos.....Just as easy as that....Hope it will work out for you.....

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.

Mine supports Netflix, Hulu, VUDU HD Movies, Pandora and other internet TV Applications. But mine doesn't support Amazon Prime. But if you have a PlayStation 3 it will. Good Luck.

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) .

Not sure about Amazon Prime, but I can stream videos from Hula Plus and Netflix. This is a fantastic product.

It will not stream Amazon Prime. I sent it back and got a Sony Blu-Ray Disc DVD player.

That's a trick question, yes it will play amazon instant video from a device that has the amazon instant video service, but this TV - by itself, does not have Amazon instant video. It is not a "Smart" TV. No apps whatsoever.

regular DVDs can be played and Netflix runs smoothly on it. It does not have Amazon instant on it. But they may add that in a future firmware update (updates get downloaded).
