Will there be an Amazon Video App? Prime Shipping Just saw Amazon is now offering 5,000 streaming video selections for Prime Shipping customers at no extra charge, I am a Prime Shipping customer and have this Samsung player c6500, player comes with about 20+ useless apps, only about 5 are worthwhile. Would be nice if there was an Amazon app so I could actually view the Prime Shipping video selection (besides on pc). Not sure if this is an Amazon attempt to get you to buy certain players or do they think they can take on Netflix in the unlimited streaming video market. Will there be an Amazon Video App?

Going to cancel my Prime service. Hope 100000.... will do the same .BD-C6500 is not supported !

VERY DISAPPOINTED to find out my Samsung C6500 Blue Ray player doesn't have the yahoo widget/amazon streaming capabilities!!! Netflix works fine for me, but their "watch now" selection is nowhere near as good as their disc mailing selection, and so I had hoped the Amazon streaming library would have more extensive. Free trial is USELESS!!!

I agree 100%. Amazon needs to provide an app for Prime Member videos. Maybe they could incorporate it into the UnBox program. I'd personally like an app both for my PC and my Android. Otherwise I won't be renewing next year.

This a great question. Why doesn't this blu ray player have an Amazon Prime App?

Not sure why Amazon is silent on this issue. If they can't provide access to Prime videos for all devices they need to offer Prime members who cannot access the videos a discount.

Preschool- Thanks but this player C6500 doesnt have a Yahoo app, no idea why some Samsung players have different apps

It is for us to find the right person or department to convey our disgust at being screwed over by Amazon. Most devices don't have a browser hence the only way to get the service is via an App. We need one single forum for this issue. Facebook.............twitter

Amazon apparently has to provide the app. This is a new year and I hope they don't remain mute on this issue. Prime members need to flood this forum and thread on this issue

Agree with all of the above. I will be cancelling Prime if the app is not made available to my samsun bluray player within the next month.

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

Hi Daniel, In the business world, there is often a disconnect between the marketing department and the design/engineering department. It was probably reported to marketing that it would have Amazon Video at release and when it wasn't ready yet they didn't spend the money to get the marketing (as well as the packaging changed). An update will probably come out soon that remedies the discrepancy. I've written a thorough review of the player and am actively updating as things change. As it is a very new product, I expect there will be more changes coming soon. 2 totally new apps appeared in the last update just a week ago.

I haven't tried to use it for Amazon Prime. I searched for Amazon Prime and did not see it listed. I may well have missed a link. Perhaps Raymond could explain how he accesses it on this player.

The player has built in apps and Amazon amongst others can be accessed, when the player is connected to your TV.Don't forget to sign up with Amazon first in order to do so. I signed up with an Amazon Prime account.

This model does not have the Amazon Instant Video App. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

No, I've had mine for most of the year. It came with an Amazon icon on the premium tab, along with Netflix, Vudu, etc. When you clicked on the Amazon icon a screen message popped up explaining that Amazon would be available in a future update. A month or so later I got a message about updating the firmware and let it do that. After that there was no longer any Amazon icon at all. There has been two more updates since then and still no Amazon Prime. There is probably a conflict between LG and Amazon since they both want to sell content and apps.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

If Amazon was smart, they would make an app that you could access from your xbox or other play console and be able choose that over netflix etc. I think that would give Amazon a huge boost toward their Amazon prime streaming.

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

Yup!! I have a Prime account and tested it out as soon as I hooked it up! So now I can watch my Amazon movies, Netflix, crackle (which is free) and a couple others (although we use it mainly for the Netflix and Amazon). Works great! Easy to hook up and program. Give it a whirl! I'm going to get 3 more for our other sets and kill the cable bill!

I am disappointed that Amazon and Samsung are not getting together to put the Amazon streaming app on the Samsung 2011 products. I bought a Samsung TV for Christmas and this was our first exposure to Netflix since the TV is a "Smart TV". We loved Netflix so much we plan to cut our cable TV service. I looked into Amazon Prime and loved how much content was available to stream for Amazon Prime users. I was disappointed to find out that I can't get the Amazon app on my Samsung TV. We did by a Roku device for our 2009 model LCD TV which is in our formal living room and can enjoy the Amazon app on that device. I would hate to have to go out and purchase another Roku just to have the Amazon app available on our new 45" TV. This seems like a simple thing for Amazon and Samsung to work out. But unfortunately like so much of the content wars in this last decade we the consumers are the one's who lose. Its things like this that are a perfect example of that.

Not currently, Amazon has limited Prime Instant Video to their own devices (Fire TV, Kindle, etc), though some have tried hacking the app onto other devices with limited success. However, Amazon has announced the release of an app for Android not tied to their product line "soon."

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. The issue some people are having is that you need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer for videos to function; it is not pre-installed on this device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this in order to watch Prime videos; the first method is to load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps
