Amazon Video Streaming on Samsung BD-C5500 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player Is it supported now? Will it be supported? At the time I am writing this, the item is #2 on Blu-Ray Disc Players.

It seems as though amazon doesn't even have a samsung app for any of their BluRay players. This is almost unbelievable as there are so many out there. This makes Amazon Prime useless for a lot of people, including me.

Nothing from amazon on this after 8 months. I am surprised and annoyed that they have an app for the tv's but not for the blu-ray players which drive surround sound systems. It seems that amazon supports the lowest common denomintor of consumer devices samsung tv sets, but not the next notch up. Time to move on to a more robust solution, imho.

Samsung continues to push updates and new apps for the BD-C5500 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player, but nothing from Amazon. What a shame.

I too am interested in an Amazon instant video app for the BD-C5500. AMAZON, PLEASE DO IT!

Yes, I agree. I was at first excited to see so many videos I'd like to see listed as Amazon Prime Eligible videos, but am frustrated to discover that they are not available on my home television. If this is not fixed within the month, I doubt I will be extending my amazon prime trial into a full membership. How strange they would alienate an entire range of customers by not developing what must surely be a simple-to-make samsung app.

I'm very interested in support for this as well. I would love to cancel my Netflix account-

HD DVD is dead (murdered , snuffed before its time) . Unfortunately BluRaY still isnt up to fill the gap. 1299 $ for the first fully functional Sony BD standalone player? Even the PS3 is still missing the update to 2.0 profile.It seems that BLuRAY is taking a break for a year to get where HD DVD already is (was)

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.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

According to the Samsung website The Amazon app is not comparable with the BD-E5900 But it is compatible with the BD-E5900 /ZAThat sort of sucks big time. Whats the frigging problem that these two huge companies cant sort this out. My ten dollar used cell phone can run the app why cant a 180 dollar Bluray player...No sense in paying for Amazon prime any more and ...Well My Samsung BD-E5900 is going to Ebay now.

PlayOn and the Samsung C5500 DLNA client to stream Amazon Instant Video. Has anyone tried this? I have PlayOn and can confirm it streams to the C5500 as I can watch their channels on the C5500. You have to stream through your PC though. I was hoping someone would share their experience with Amazon Instant Video. Also, I hoping it may be added to the "unofficial" Plex client for the C5500. I really hope Samsung adds this to their official apps. I am really impressed with this.

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

I've never been able to get Amazon Prime on my Samsung blu ray. Could be wrong but I don't think it's available.

The Sony BDP-S560 does not stream internet video from any of the popular services (Blockbuster, Netflix, Amazon).The absence of the ability to stream video makes the built in WiFi, nearly pointless (the only use seems to be to access BD Live content available on some blu-ray discs).The less expensive Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) with a WiFi adapter (Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band is preprogrammed to work with the N-460) or a dedicated Roku HD-XR unit stream video from these services over WiFi.

With the right movies, Blu-Ray definitely works well with a 720P. Also works well as a upscaling DVD player. I connected my Blu-Ray using the component hookup, since I only have one HDMI. No problem since component gives you 720P. I strongly recommend buying a Blu-Ray with internet access. A lot of firmware upgrades are pushed through. Also, great for streaming Netflix, You Tube, if you get an LG or Samsung with Netflix widgets. The biggest problem is that most Blu-Ray movies are mediocre transfers, and not worth buying. Go to Blu-Ray specific sites, I think Blu-Ray movies.com is one, to review the PQ. Amazon mixes the DVD/Blu-Ray reviews together and they are misleading. Dexter in Blu-Ray, is impressive. I joined Netflix after buying my Blu-Ray. Pay $10.99 a month with Blu-Ray access. To me, it's by far the best way to go. I bought a few from Amazon, just so I could demo to friends. By the way, Planet Earth is only 720P quality, and you've seen how good that is.

I'm considering buying a VBR337 myself because it is listed on Amazon's site as compatible with app for Amazon streaming video. I currently have Vizio TV and a non-Amazon-compatible Vizio BR player. Check out compatibility list at

Would like to know which would be the best wireless router to use with the Samsung BD player P3600 as I would like to buy the player and want to avoid problems.Samsung BD-P3600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player

The unit does not have Pandora nor is it mentioned in the manual as an optional app. You might want to check on Pandora's web site and they should have a way to find compatible Blu-Ray players from all supported manufacturers. My gut response is to say "no" it does not.

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

My Sony BDP-s550 just stopped playing blu-ray discs as well. I tried to upgrade the firmware but that failed. Sony support couldn't help me to get it working either. I ended up throwing it in the trash. This was very frustrating. I will definitely not buy another Sony blu-ray player.
