I'm wondering if this will have an app for Amazon Instant Video since it is one of the advertised features. If it does, would it be possible to port it to other Android devices? Right now the only way to watch Amazon Instant Video on an Android device is to spoof a desktop user agent and use flash player. While this method works, it would be a lot easier to have a native app, especially with flash player being discontinued.
APK (ATVAndroidCleint.apk) is Posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19409230&postcount=10
Works on unrooted Gingerbread devices and force closes on Honeycomb/ICS when you try to go to a video's page. On rooted devices you'll need to install OTA Rootkeeper then force close and re-open the video app. You can also freeze/defrost it with Titanium Backup.
Option #1 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:
Open the Amazon video app and find a video you want to watch. Tap the orange box to buy the video and log in with your Amazon account. Once logged in the prices in the orange boxes should adjust if you have Prime and you'll be able to watch videos. If you get an "Error Linking Device" proceed to option #2.
Option #2 to Log in to Your Amazon Account:
From a Kindle Fire ROM dump obtain and install MyAccount-unsigned.apk and com.amazon.dcp.apk. The files in this post should work even though its not a complete ROM dump. Now you can associate your Amazon account with your device just like you would a Google, etc account. From Settings, Accounts you should be able to add an Amazon account. Now go back into the Amazon video app and you should already be logged in and able to watch videos.
If you still get a "Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon videos" error try restarting your device after you temp unroot with OTA Rootkeeper. Some devices, usually running CM roms have had issues with the error even after temp unrooting.
My understanding is that it will play instant video, although idk what app will do it.
Soon after mine arrives, I'll update?

When flash is discontinued, you won't lose your ability to view video. more than likely, they will replace it with HTML5. As long as thy don't go to Silverlight, you should be OK.
Ditto, though about the native app. Why hasn't amazon released this type of app?
Yeah, popped over to see if there was an apk for it to try on other devices. Would definitely want to give it a shot.
There is a native Amazon Video app on the Fire. The apk installed and ran fine on my Nexus S (although the layout was a bit wonky). The problem that I encountered is that there is no way to sign in to your account from the app.

Where is the apk?
Can you post the apk. Myself and others would be interested even if it doesn't work yet. Perhaps there is another app or service needed to get you logged into Amazon similar to porting android market to devices that don't have it. I also read that Amazon is releasing their source if that makes things easier. You'd think they would release Instant Video as an app but it is a selling point of the fire.
The apk is in system/app, and is called "ATVAndroidClient.apk"
here is the ATVAndroidClient.apk......havent tried it yet.
FC's when trying to watch movies, or view help. Must be due to sign in as mentioned previously. May need the accounts and sync apk installed.....
Looks nice though.
fwiw, post-rooting, myself and a couple others are no longer able to instant stream a video...

Sweet, and it works on the Droid 3.
What I did was tapped on an orange $1.99 button to buy an episode of a show. This brought up the Amazon login window and I logged into my Amazon account. Now that I'm logged in, it knows I have Prime Instant Videos for free so it lets me view everything.
There are some messed up parts of the GUI due to it only supporting the Kindle's resolution. I also noticed that once the on screen controls disappear during a video there is no way to get them back. I have to press the back button on my phone to exit back to the app, but luckily the app keeps your place, allowing you to resume.
Overall it is good enough to be usable, I watched a few minutes of Top Gear and Lost on it just fine. Both the Droid 3, Bionic, Razr, etc and the Kindle Fire have TI OMAP 4430, not sure if this has to do with anything.
EDIT:
Doesn't appear to work over 3G. You can browse videos but get the error "Playback over cellular network is currently disabled"

It won't work over 3G for me, it wants wifi. It will be better on a tablet I'm sure, some of the things like the search box, etc feel a little small on a 4" screen, but its still a lot easier than using a browser.
If you got it working on your Incredible 2 then it may not actually be GPU sensitive. Maybe this will end up working on a wide variety of devices. Makes you wonder if Amazon will release a version to the general public.

Yeah, got it working on my A100, but agian...honeycomb. FC's arent unfamiliar. Inc 2, I got as far as the login screen, but got "an error has occured, please try again" on wifi and 3G. Could be an account issue though.
Hopefully someone that knows what they are doing can get it to work properly.
Glad you got it working.
I can install but when try to purchase I get this. I am rooted maybe that why.

That was what I had experienced on the Xoom w/ the Google Market for Movie Rentals.
It let's you rent them and they show up in Videos. But you can't watch them if you're rooted. You have to watch them through a browser.

Apparently this app checks for root and gives this error even on the Kindle if rooted. The solution is to temporarily unroot with an app, details at this link:
http://phandroid.com/2011/11/16/rooting-kindle-fire-breaks-amazon-video-and-how-to-make-it-work/
I installed on my Bionic (currently removed the root while waiting for that update to show up) and it looked ok, a few graphic issues.
I tried to login, but it came back with a message to check my WiFi connection.

Okay since the last update I have had three occassions where I get DRM License Required in the notification area of my phone. I've done searches on the web and I see it is happening to Evo's but I haven't seen anyone report it here.
Any suggestions?

Never got a DRM message.
I archived my Itunes library. I edited the archive. IIRC i had to edit the titles to remove the invisible designator "." - I did this a long time ago and can't remember what block command i gave terminal to do it. I then transfered the archived library to the phone's sdcard.
Hope it helps.
Anyone else?
I also received this message. From what ive read online at other forums, the consensus is that it was caused by the new Blockbuster app. Most people think its a bug in the Blockbuster app.
I should also add, that i received this message after I got the 3.7 OTA update, but only after I added my own MP3s to SDCard. So perhaps the blockbuster app is looking for media on SDCard and found my mp3 files without DRM? My 2cents.
I get this crap all the time I just clear it out. It only happens to me on sense roms though .

Wow ive followed for a while and This will be my first post.lol
I get it on my EVO on rooted sense rom with launcher pro, i havent figured out what triggers it but sometimes there two side by side.
im back up the apk's & removed some sys app, maybe if i removed the blockbuster itll go away.
Hope this helps narrow it down.
Happens when I try to watch Fox news on the fox news app.
However only wireless, if I turn off wifi and use the 3G it plays without the error.
Somehow tied into the wireless ? I can make it happen over and over.
Sprint Nascar app
I got the DRM license required for the first time since I've had my Evo 4g. I used Sprints NASCAR app today and got 2 notifications about DRM.

I can't use the nascar app here. Well to be mroe specific I have issues with it. It works fine without hitch for a while then I will lose the driver audio after say 5-10min of consistant listening. Sometimes I get the DRM error with it and sometimes I just get an audio playback message in the app itself when it kills the audio.
tried emailing back and forth with the developers of the app but they say it plays fine on their evo in house no problems.
oh well.
I get this anytime I close Pandora while using bluetooth for the audio. Makes no sense at all.
Removing DRM?
Has anyone tried to watch blockbuster downloads? I can watch it on my phone (EVO 3D), but only in the Blockbuster App, so I'm assuming there's some kind of protection on the file.
I copied the file to my PC and no joy.
If anyone has a good and free way to remove protection I'd love to hear it. I googled DRM removal but all I got was 100% scammy, free-trial type websites.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I took a video with my htc evo and it won't let me view it. When I try to play it a popup says "Sorry, this video cannot be played. Then I get a notification that says "DRM Notification - License required. Does anyone knows what's wrong with this thing? thanks
So I got my new case today and decided to give Netflix a try... however, when I start the app, login etc... I see a video that my wife was watching.
So I have the option of Continue Watching, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to cancel it, select a different video etc... You can hit browe, but there doesn't seem to be any other controls.
Seems kind of strange that you have to go to the website to control simple things like that.
Or am I simply missing something.
You're missing something. That's the way it works even on the website. It shows you most recent viewed movie. Unless you have a different account, that would be weird.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
On the website, I can see what is in the instant queue, I can go to something and say Play and it will start playing that video. On the app all I can do is continue watching. In this case, I have cleared the queue on the website, but the app still sees Walking Dead the series which my wife selected. Can't get rid of it. If I finish a video (going to the end of the it), it wants to play the next in the series... wierd.
You are right, I rarely use Netflix at all, but I can via the web at least select something new and tell it to play it now.
I'm watching Futurama on my Roku and Breaking Bad on my N7. When I load the app I see my Instant Queue, Previously Watched, and recommended ones like normal. I am using the same account on both devices. Doesn't have a problem streaming 2 different shows to different devices at the same time.

I'd really like to get Amazon's new Prime Music service working on my 8.9" Fire HD. However, I'm currently on 8.4.3, and I don't want to upgrade to 8.4.9 since some people have reported difficulty rooting it.
Has anyone done this? I suspect that if I could just get my hands on the new version of com.amazon.mp3 for the Fire HD, I could get it to work. However, the version at the Google Play store doesn't work with the Kindle Fire.
Before I spend hours trying to get this work, I wanted to ask if anyone has already traversed this rat hole.

I've also been wondering about this. Any luck getting it to work? Have you tried downloading the update from the Amazon website and taking the amazonmp3-unsigned.apk from there and putting it on the kindle? The update has a .bin extension but it's probably just a zip. I was able to open it in 7-zip and it looks an android update.zip file.

I did something similar: I got my hands on a Tate, updated it, and then pulled amazonmp3-unsigned.apk off of it. I uninstalled the existing system app on my Jem, verified that I couldn't go into music, and then installed the new APK.
Result: it doesn't provide Prime benefits, but does allow me to access the my non-Prime music. I don't know if that's because of some other necessary component, or because the new APK includes a check to see whether the Kindle has been rooted. I know that some of Amazon's Kindle software has incorporated such checks in the past.
I figured out a solution to get it working. I should have thought of it earlier.
I uninstalled the amazonmp3-unsigned.apk system app using ES File Explorer. I then used Google Play to install the new com.amazon.mp3 APK as a user app. Somehow I had gotten it stuck in my head that it would need to be a system app to work with the rest of the Kindle software. Duh.
It seems to work perfectly. I can access Prime music just fine, and it seamlessly connects to my Amazon account. The only downside is that the app from the Play store is designed for phones and locks the app into portrait mode, whereas the native Kindle version supports landscape. But, hey, that's a small price to pay.
Amazon is clearly checking to see if the tablet is still an unmodified Kindle Fire.
I tried loading Kindle Reader on a CM-upgraded KF, with no luck. Then, I used Build-Prop Editor to change the property 'name' to Asus, and the 'model' to Nexus 7. That's all it took for Kindle Reader (and my book account) to work properly.
Try that next time something 'Amazon' doesn't work as it should.
When you install using google play does that automatically install as a user app? I'm assuming so, but the fix isn't working for me. I am using 8.1.4 however.

Yes, the Play store will only install user apps. You uninstalled amazonmp3-unsigned.apk first?
Is the app not working at all, or not giving you access to Prime Music? I wonder if enough changed from 8.1.x to 8.4.x that the services for Amazon account authentication don't work.

Yeah, the first thing I did was just update the app using google play before I even read this thread. Weird thing is it opens and acts just like it should untampered. Landscape mode, automatically logged me in and all. But as soons as I try to access the library it shuts down. So I uninstalled back to stock amazon music using google play, uninstalled that system app using ES, and then installed fresh using google play. And it does the exact same thing. Landscape mode enabled, auto sign in. Acting like an amazon app.

I'd recommend that you uninstall again, and verify that the app is really uninstalled. I was able to get my tablet to a point where I had no MP3 player installed at all, and going to the Music tab from the Kindle launcher would result in an error. If you uninstall and still see this app, then there must still be a copy of the APK installed somewhere you're not seeing it.
I wish I could help with more details, but I no longer have the stock OS installed, and am now using Cyanogenmod. Prime Instant Video was the main reason I was keeping the stock OS, and now that's available for Android generally.
Yeah, after I uninstalled the app using ES but before installing a fresh copy, hitting music resulted in an error. ..and I didn't back up the original file. Lol. Not that I had any music there anyway. But yeah, I hear you on CM. I would be using that too, but it's my wife's main tablet and she likes the kindle lending library. Now if they put that on android, there would be essentially no reason to ever use the FireOs again.

You and me both. I ended up just buying it. It's not without its shortcomings, but it's actually quite nice. One time the server complained that it wasn't a registered license, and I had to uninstall and reinstall it. But it's been solid since. And for the client I'm using an old phone which disables wifi when it enters standby and the Droidmote software doesn't auto reconnect. I have to manually do so, which is such a drag. I contacted the author and he doesn't appear interested in fixing this, even though it'd be rather trivial to implement that auto reconnect functionality.

I can confirm that DirecTV Sunday ticket app works fine on the fire TV. Side load it and it works fine The problem is that it is entirely a touchscreen app so the fire TV remote will not work and you cannot watch anything. Droidmote fixes this problem, but requires root. If you don't want to root, just plug in a mouse to the back USB port. I have all the games up now! Good luck.

I side loaded Sunday Ticket to my AFTV, and can login and see the list of games. But nothing happens when I click on "watch game"...
Have you gotten a game to actually work? If so, which version of the Sunday Ticket app are you using?
PS: my iPhone 5S mirrors directly my Apple TV for the games, but it's choppy over wifi. AFTV uses Ethernet.
When I open the app it tells me, "current app version is less than minimum version". Then when I click 'accept' the app just crashes. Anyone else have this problem? I have a valid password but cannot access this . It is the version of the app listed by the original poster.
Thanks!

I had the same problem at first but then I was able to install it on my tablet and snag the apk out of /data/app folder. Both the phone version and the tablet version install fine on the firetv and even the game info updates however I can't get it steam a live game so far. I am trying to do it via the browser now but so far I know Chrome won't work.
would there be any way for you to post that apk you snagged out of your /data/app folder? Is that against forum rules?
I'm sorry I just don't have another android device to get it from.

Thanks a lot for posting that! It worked just fine - no errors like last time! I did notice it's one point version back from the version that's currently in the play store.
Anyway, I started it up, highlights, stats, work fine. However, I tried to stream a live game and got this error:
"Due to NFL rules, local broadcast or non-sellout games are not available to stream on your device."
It was towards the end of the 4pm games... so maybe I'll try again tonight and see if i can get it to work.
Any progress for you? Did you get the same error?

This version looks like the tablet version, WAY nicer than the phone app I tried before on the AFTV
The Sunday Ticket games are over for the week, but I was able to watch some replay highlights, and did see errors about games not being a part of the Sunday ticket package. The highlights played in full screen, and with Ethernet had better quality than Airplay from the iPhone.
When I tried to click the Red Zone channel it showed a loading circle and said "activating" and never loaded. I'm not sure if it's just because all the Sunday Ticket games ended, but neither red zone or fantasy some currently load.
The big question mark will be next week... Will we be able to get a live game to work? fingers crossed.
Also - did anyone else notice the "record" button...? How could that possibly be useful? Lol
Hello guys and girls,
I've been using the unofficial Amazon Video app (the one pulled from a Sony TV that's been floating around) for a while now and it worked pretty much OK (except for the functions triggered by the 4 coloured buttons).
But, because the update to Nougat, I decided to ditch the old app and use the one included with the update. Until my wife pointed out some obvious problems:
1. When the Shield goes to sleep (like when pausing the movie to go pop some more corn) the new Amazon Video app is closed. Restarting the movie implies restarting the app and navigate to the movie again. This was not the case with the unofficial app.
2. When restarting the movie, it is rewinded some 30 - 60 seconds, which is a little too much, especially when you've just seen that part 5 minutes earlier. This was not the case with the unofficial app.
3. The parental control seems to be active this time around. For example some episodes of Two and a half men need the pin code every time they are started and restarted. Problem is that we wouldn't need this feature at all, but cannot be disabled. Again, not the case with the unofficial app.
Have you noticed these quirks? Are they annoying to you too?
Sadly the old thread seems to have been deleted so I cannot recover the unofficial Amazon Prime Video app...
Wish you a great day!
I can't even get my Amazon Video app to load. I just get error message 1066 (this one) and all I can do is go back to the home screen
Amazon CS just denied that the Shield TV supports Amazon Video and Manuel Guzman from Nvidia can't pick up my error feedback, so no help really.

Just outta interest... And as I ran... (Well more like scatterbrained), also running into this Problem with Amazon. I would ask if your not running some kind of Proxy Service \ VPN App?
I happen to be currently using Keep Solids VPN, as it was One of the first such Apps to have appeared in the TV PlayStore. It worked better under Lollipop. But, I suspect the quriks with Nougat will improve a bit further down the road.
The uphsot of all this is, is if I forget to turn this Service back off again latter on, when I want to browe a bit on the Amazon App. It runs into nearly the same conditions such as you've described. Save being very, very lagy, and slow. When it actually does try to do something other than landing on a Black Screen.
I am using no proxy or VPN. There's no need for one or the other with the German Amazon Prime Video.

I do have VPN Unlimited installed but as I'm in the UK I have it disabled for Amazon Video as it's not needed.
Humm odd I'm from Germany (w/German Amazon), but am using VPN Unlimited, to purloin such Services, such as the BBC iPlayer, and as many US Catch-up Services that do NOT require a Cable Sub Login, to access it. Everything is working more or less.
Like I said sometimes I forget that I have it enabled to watch say iPlayer, than shut it down to play some Game or other. Than decide I go watch Some Top Gear um.. The Grand Tour, only to wonder what the heck was wrong with Amazon, and why it wouldn't load up, or if it did manage to load up. Why it would just sit and spin, till it timed out, with some Error. Which was near enough to the Ops Error Code. But I can't say if it was that very exact Code, or not.
It's about this time when I remember that I did in fact still have my VPN turned on. Once I go to the VPN Unlimited App, and then proceed to turn it back off again. It's at that moment when Amazon starts working for me again.

It wasn't my VPN as I was disconnecting that but you got me thinking... I had a DNS service that I set up ages ago (and in fact don't even use) but it was still set in my static IP configuration in network settings!! I reset my network back to dhcp and it works now so THANK YOU so much. Amazon CS were useless and the the error message didn't tell me much at all.
