Amazon video on Apple TV

I just want to say how disappointed I am that we can't stream video on AirPlay from the new app from Amazon.   If you've got Hulu, Netflix, what's the difference?  I bought my Apple TV with great anticipation of using this app.....come on, apple.  Come on, amazon.

You need to talk to Amazon, it's their decision. It's likely licensing and distribution contracts issues.

  • HT201335 How can I play an Amazon instant Video on Apple TV?

    How do I play an Amazon Instant Video on Apple TV?

    What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
    I have submitted feedback.

  • Apple tv won't display video when I try to use airplay to display amazon videos, only audio.

    It will display an icon showing now playing, but only as an audio.  I can listen to The Magnificent Seven but not watch it.  I have tried to use airplay on my iphone, ipad and fire tablet all with the same results.  The only change in the system is a new router.  It is a netgear router and the apple tv is plugged dirrectly into it.  I think that is my problem but am unsure why I see an icon, hear audio, but get not video.  I've checked the settings on the apple tv and it is updated.  Is it the settings on my router that's causing the problem?

    Hello! I don't have personal experience with Amazon videos, but I do know that a lot of content has DRM embedded in it that prevents streaming like this from working. Often you'll see checkerboard.

  • Can i stream amazon prime to apple tv

    Can I stream Amazon Prime using Apple TV?

    If that's the case it's likely the content provider/Amazon is blocking the video component of Airplay.

    I do something like that, and can confirm 20 feet won't be a problem. More than 30 or so might be.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • Can no longer view videos on Apple web site

    I'd like to watch the new iPad videos on Apple's web site but my iMac no longer loads them. I can view You Tube videos, movies, Quicktime etc. But on the Apple web site the video never loads. Any ideas why this might be? OSX 10.7.3 3.06 GHz Core Duo, 4G RAM.

    The following only applies to those running Tiger or Leopard:
    If you are experiencing trouble viewing QuickTime movies with QuickTime Player or the QuickTime browser-plug-in follow the steps in the link below to ensure that QuickTime is properly installed on your Mac
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/troubleshooting/
    If you having problems watching WWDC Keynotes, tutorials or Trailers on the Apple website, check your Quicktime Player 7 settings in System Preferences:
    Under Streaming, set for Automatic, enable Instant On and Play Immediately.
    Under Advanced, click Mime Settings and ensure that Streaming (both kinds) are enabled.
    Note that if you are running Snow Leopard you should be using Quicktime Player 7 and not Quicktime 10. Snow Leopard does not have a QuickTime System Preference pane. No MIME Settings options. No streaming settings. If a User has migrated from 10.5.8 then those settings have moved over (but no changes can be made). QuickTime Player 7 is in your Applications/Utilities folder (if you've got it installed). If not you can install it from the Snow Leopard DVD (Optional Installs).

    When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

  • Can i get amazon prime on apple tv

    can i get amazon prime on apple tv

    The answer is subjective depending on your view point.
    Amazon prime has very little value accept for it's supposedly free movie service, so what you are really paying for is essentially a very similar service to NetFlix at a slightly higher cost, the Apple TV offers NetFlix and has a premium movie service in iTunes which most people would require in addition to NetFlix or Amazon. A hardware solution seems somewhat over the top to me.
