Is there any way to get Amazon Video back when you flash a custom ROM ?
Works perfectly fine for me going through the stock browser. Just install Flash Player first.
I just rooted and flashed Modaco last night.
Downloaded OTA Rootkeeper from Google Play and use that to temporariliy unroot to watch Amazon vids.
You just have to remember to go into Settings/Applications and clear cache and force close the Amazon Vid app before trying to watch a video.
Worked for me.

There is probably a simple resoultion to this but I can't seem to find it. When trying to watch videos in the Android browser app it comes up with a blue lego brick with a white question mark, I have done some reading on this and it seems like its a missing plugin. I could view videos fine before I updated but now I always get the same thing. Thank you in advance for your help
What did you update?
Try installing the Flash plugin from the market.
EDIT:
Actually I tried playing a youtube video through Dolphin Mini browser and got the same thing.
I think it worked fine with froyo (I'm using ARHD 5.x.x now)
I sorry for the late reply. It has happens since the Android revolution 5.1.1 update. I have tried reinstalling the flash plugin with no luck
uninstall using titanium backup, make sure you also remove adobe air..then reboot and reinstall
This might be related to the bug in Adobe Flash 10.2
Somewhere around here is a link to the 10.1 version that works fine (a quick search will reap rewards).
1: go find old version of flash player.apk files
2: install it on your phone (sort of like downgrade the flash player version)
3: now go market upgrade to the latest flash player version
4: restart your browser and try going to the website again, problem shld be solved. works for me. im on ar hd 5.1.3 btw.
hope this solves ur problem.
Rooted with SuperOneClick and installed some gapps and now I can't play videos. Amazon help says contact them but before I do that as a third option, the second being a reset I thought I would see if anyone else ran into this problem and has more info.
Thanks.
EDIT: Of course I finally found a fix after posting. Using VooDoo OTA on the regular market to temp unroot which re-enables video and saves root yay. Courtesy of

Covered like 10 times now. Amazon Videos app checks for root, you can not watch videos while rooted - unroot to restore amazon video functionality.
Oh man, this sucks.

Use OTA Rootkeeper. Temporarily disables root. Just restart after you use it and the videos will work again. Restore root with app and restart to regain root.
edit: just realized that the original post was edited with this solution.

So once the custom roms start rolling out, will this kill the temp root issue?
With video playback or is an aosp rom the best to hope for with that issue?

What issues are you having with root? The problem seems to be with the Amazon Video App that won't allow you to play on rooted devices. Not sure what the question is?
this should be FAQ or sticked, the OTA rootkeeper app is a must with root
thanks
Or, you can rename SU in xbin. This will allow you to stream from Amazon.
I am having issues installing Mobo Player (moboplayer from clover) in Lithium's amazing Jelly Bean Rom.
I am on version 1.6 of the rom and I have tried installing every codec pack in the play store, website, auto d/l inside mobo player, and even had them email me the apk directly (armv7_neon-release).
Does anyone know the issue here and how to get this running on Lithium's Jelly Bean Rom?
It is in my opinion the best video player for android...
Thanks in advance! Thanks you Lithium and the XDA Team

I had force close problems with Moboplayer similar Chrome. I restored to my AOKP backup then flashed Jandycane without factory reset and it still works.
Others have found that you can get Chrome to work by doing a full wipe/reset, flash hashcode's ROM, reboot, install and setup the app, wipe Dalvik and cache, then flash Jandycane 1.7.1. That might work for Moboplayer too.
Solved
Thanks for you reply.
After installing the codec from the email clover sent me it still did not work. However today the play store updated moboplayer internally. That made it work although when you exit hitting the home button it says moboplayer is not responding. Not a large issue nor is it too annoying as the app itself works.
If anyone has same issue and wants the apk they emailed me, let me know where you want me to upload it and I will do so.
Thanks again for you reply and to the XDA team as a whole for turning my kindle fire into a real android tab!

hi rooted my SGG first time on android 4.2.2 official update OTA. (its my first rooting).
Everything is fine just youtube app is not working and playstore also not playing video says this action isn't allowed (unsupported video format)
i installed titanium backup and removed the YT app and installed freshly from playstore again but no use still problem playing videos.
note: m.youtube.com working fine.
any solutions friends........
I have OTA updates blocked since day 1 using debloater tool. Device is at OS 5.0.51 (537175520). Everything (Netflix, Kodi, Amazon Prime) was working great for more than a year.
Recently can't play any Amazon Prime content even though I'm signed into my Prime account. It does show recently viewed in list from other devices (phone, other smart tv). Clicking on a video spins the icon a few seconds and then takes you right back to your personalized Prime content page. So the program isn't crashing just not allowing streaming anymore.
Tried rebooting, force stop application, clearing cache. Any other suggestions or do I have to reset to default settings? Will restoring allow Amazon updates and remove Kodi?
Go easy I'm only tech savvy enough to get into trouble
Thanks.
Clear amazon video app cache and data in settings -> applications.
Hey Blue,
I tried that before and it didn't seem to work. Tried it again and after doing that it allows me to start one title. If I stop the video and try to play another one, it won't stream a different title.
Sometimes when I try to restart the same title it won't do that either.
I redo the clear data and cache it lets me do the one title only thing again very reproducibly.
The Prime video player is version 1.0.247.48-ATVAndroidFOS5.... at size 40.43MB if that helps.
Any other things to try? Thanks for your help.
If you have twrp installed I would reflash current rom and see if that fixes the problem. I'm currently using 5.2.1.1 and had same issue with prime video and clearing worked for me.
Don't know what twrp is, how to check for it or how to reflash the rom. Is there a link or instructions somewhere you could point me to?
Read a little about twrp....looks like with my skill level it's the fastest way for me to brick the firestick, haha. My device is not rooted if that makes a difference?
Is there a low tech way? For example, could the Prime Video app be deleted and redownloaded from the App Store?
If not, what would happen if I reset to factory? Would the stick revert to receiving Over the Air updates? Could KODI be reinstalled if that happens?
Thanks for answering my newbie questions!

You have OTA updates blocked. Is it a reason why if you do not want to root it? You will not be able to reset to factory if OTA updates are blocked however if you unblock it will update to the latest s/w version and at the moment is no way to root it but you can still install Kodi.
Why not reading on how to root it, install TWRP and from here on you can install latest rooted release s/w by rbox.

Best reason to not root it is because I will probably break the thing with my lack of knowledge.
So, I have to re-enable the over the air updates or I won't be able to reset to default factory settings?
How about the idea to delete and reinstall Amazon Prime from the App store, is that a possible way to get it working again?
Thanks!

Prime is part of the system menu and can not be erase as you erase an app
Well, maybe I'll move this stick to a smart tv that has Amazon Prime app already since this is the only problem with the stick as is.
Thanks
Hi,
I've had the same problem with all the Fire TV and Sticks I bought. I live in Italy and always had the same error. I have updates domains blocked so I've always thought it was because of this. Now I'd like to solve cause Amazon Prime video is finally available in Italy too. I've always used rbox roms for my devices and I d'0nt want to go back to official firmware. Amazon app on my Nvidia Shield and Browser app work fine. Any advice? Thanks.
