Can I stream or get my Amazon purchased shows to play/download on this unit?

Hopefully someone from Western Digital sees this question and other comments like it. It they would integrate a browser and additional Apps like Amazon, Vevo, FSTV, etc, (come on WD - this is a great product - take on Roku directly!), this thing will sell like crazy. They have really improved it and it is almost there. Raise the price a few dollars if that's what it takes - and pack this baby with streaming apps! Someone in product development needs to understand how close they are to a serious Roku killer. . .not to say that Roku isn't a good product too.

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

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.

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.

According to this link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200238960), looks like you cannot play movies that you purchased from Amazon on this unit.

My tv can not stream amazon unless you have an Apple TV or something similar.

You can upload content on the micro SD card slot that is available and play it while connected via USB. Otherwise you'll need a wifi connection for other streaming functions

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

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.

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.

I don't know, I was able to watch Netflix, so I would assume you can watch Amazon Prime shows on it if you have the app installed just like Netflix

No. You will need to add an Internet device such as Roku to hook up to Amazon Prime.

I use a Roku on mine for Amazon/Netflix... It connects into one of the HDMI ports. Works great!

Hi, no it will not. It is an entry-level smart box with no internet search function to access Amazon. You will need to purchase a higher end unit like a Roku 2 or 3, Netgear Prime or apple unit. These units have Amazon instant play preloaded.

Not with kdlinks a100. There seems to be an issue with the DRM. I tried and it will give an error. Have you tried/looked into Google Chromecast. That will stream Playstore, Netflix, Youtube, and Hulu.

It is with Prime. It streams the free stuff no problem. Haven't tried the paid offerings

It isn't pre-loaded on the tv. I play Amazon Instant and Netflix on the tv through my PS3.

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*

yes, I just tried it. any station that streams on the web will play on this. I have three of this model and another model from Grace. Easy to search stations. took me about 15 seconds to find your station

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.
