Amazon Instant Video won't stream smoothly, even with a wired connection. Other streaming services are fine. Is this a known issue?

I am having the same problem over a wireless connection, even though speedtest.net reports my wireless connection speed as 15Mbps. Amazon instant video is fine on my Mac over the same wireless network at the same location.

It is an issue with the 210. I have the same problem with 25 Mbps service. Vudu is fine though.

I am also having this issue. Contacted amazon instant video customer service. They said they have been having this issue with panasonic blu ray's but I still don't have an answer on the fix. Now my blu ray won't connect to the internet at all.

amazon instant video works on the chrome box. I haven't noticed any chopiness, the video is clear. There was an update to chrome that made it so amazon instant video didn't work for about a week though, but other than that, it's been working well.

I've had same issue but I think it might be my wireless router. Once it connects every thing streams well. But I've had connect issues on other devices.

No. Amazon Instant Videos need to be streamed from a computer or mobile device via Airplay (or ethernet in the case of using a computer). If you already have an Apple TV, you will know there is no Amazon app. This router will not solve that. It is a WiFi router with an internal hard drive. There is no server software or apps on this.

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.

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.

Hello L. Lyons. Unfortunately this Blu-Ray Player (the VBR220) doesn't support Amazon Instant Video. So far as I can tell it only supports Netflix and Vudu.

yes i can stream 2 of these to zoneminder on amazon vpc with a m3.medium.... and you need at least 4+Mbps upload, but if so, i can get 30fps... need to reduce monitor resolution, or up aws instance type to see it, so that can be expensive

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

It's probably because of your internet connection....try connecting your TV to your modem/router with an ethernet cable OR if that isn't an option, try going in to the Hulu settings and changing the speed of the video. On my blu-ray player I have to change Hulu to SD instead of HD to get shows to not stutter. It's a hulu problem, hulu hasn't figured out how to stream flawlessly like netflix does.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection. UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.

Agree. It is slow, I would say even antique. I haven't return it, but not using it at all. Google Chromecast is much better (if talking about streaming the video from Google Play).

Your connection speed is to slow for the HD streams . The Amazon HD streams are 2.5Mpbs variable bitrate. That is , the 2.5 is more or less the average bitrate. It can be quite a lot higher when there are rapid scene changes or action in the movie. To reliably play the HD stream you need at least a 5 or 6Mbps connection. The more the better. Roku recommends a minimum of 2.5Mbps for the highest quality SD streams, which for Amazon are 1.3Mbps. (4 dots) The HD streams are indicated by 4 dots followed by the letters HD. (....HD)

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

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
