I agree with the other response. You have to to stream from another device like a computer or a DVD player connected to your TV.

Sorry but no apps can be installed on this particular model. However you can use compatible devices like a tablet or a smartphone. Even a laptop or smartphone if you must.

Natively, Amazon Prime Instant Videos require Adobe Flash Player installed on the tablet, which is not available on Android tablets like this Acer. Kindle Fire and iPads are supported. There are several free apps which state that they can stream Amazon Instant Videos; however I have not found one that works. I just unsuccessfully tried the free "Can I Stream It" app. If you are adventuresome the following link will supposedly step you through how to install and run Flash on an Android tablet - http://www.teleread.com/amazon/how-to-stream-amazon-instant-videos-on-a-nexus-7-or-other-android-tablet/. If running Amazon Instant Video on a tablet is important to you, I suggest that you get an Apple iPad instead.

You can now watch Amazon Prime Videos through Amazons app. Download there app and navigate to a prime instant video. It will then prompt you to download their player. Streams fine, but cannot download the videos like you can on a fire tablet.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

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

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

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.

Make sure you download and install the "Amazon for Tablets" THEN download and install the "Amazon Prime Instant Video". By the way, get the apps from the Amazon.Com site because when I tried to get from the Google App Store, they wouldn't install.

When I click on the amazon instant video app, it takes me to the browser page and nothing plays.

P.Hogan.. how do you stream BBC Acorn, Netflix and Amazon on your TV without going through a Blu-Ray or a Tivo?

with a Roku or some other similar device - I believe Amazon may have an Amazon branded product that performs the same function, but they all essentially are independent devices that connect to your WiFi and allow you to sign on to your streaming service of choice for output to your video device ( the Roku 3 is the only one I have direct experience with, and it has so far proven excellent for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Vimeo and a number of other services ).

Hi Bob, I don't have Amazon instant video myself, but I think I can help you. When you turn on your Roku, you'll see the Home screen first. Select the CHANNEL STORE icon and wait for it to load. Find the AMAZON INSTANT VIDEO icon, which is easy, it will be the second icon in the Most Popular category, and select it. Then select "add channel" and when the page loads, select "go to channel". You should now be at the page that says "welcome" at the top right. Now you can see your options. If you don't already have Amazon Prime, you can select the 30-day free trial option and follow the directions on the next page. If you have already purchased Amazon Prime, you can select the next option and follow the directions on the next page. It looks easier to me to use the second option "Get started on the Amazon website", so select that and then follow the directions. I hope this helps.

I contacted Samsung who told me there was not an Amazon app available for that player, even though Amazon told me there was. I ended up disconnecting the player and bought Roku.

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