A retina MBP will need HDMI on both ends.

BDP-S3100 won't stream Amazon Prime

If anyone else has had this specific problem and can shed some light I will be very grateful. This bluray player is about a year old. We've been using it to stream both Netflix and Amazon Prime for the past year. A few days ago we started having a problem with Amazon Prime. When the app starts it let's me browse for a show or movie without issue. I select what I want to watch and then it checks the internet connection. It reports the speed to be between 30 and 40 Mbps on average. The problem comes right before it would normally start to stream the video. It just sits there with the little wheel spinning, usually for about a minute before the message appears - "The network is down." I have checked to see if Amazon Prime is experiencing an outtage. When the problem first occurred it looked like maybe they were. One website showed numerous outtage reports for Amazon Prime right after Christmas. But currently there doesn't seem to be any widespread problem and I've not been able to stream for over a week now. My internet connection is fine. All other wired and wireless devices are not having any issues. I have reset my cable modem and router. This did not fix the problem. I have tried a wired and wireless connection to the bluray player. The problem exists both ways. I have reset the bluray player to its factory settings. This did not fix the problem. I have confirmed that I'm able to stream Amazon Prime on other devices using the same modem/router. We can stream Amazon Prime videos on our laptops without issues. That's everything I can think of that we've tried. I'm starting to wonder if the player has ****** out. It's just weird that I can browse online content, meaning the player is connecting to the internet, but when it tries to stream a video it fails.

This is just my personal theory, so please take it with a grain of salt. Sony got hacked right after Christmas and that's when the trouble started. At first it didn't make sense to me that this would be the cause because Amazon servers would be responsible for streaming my instant video, not Sony's. But it's rumored that Sony BD devices are routing through Sony services on the way to requesting streaming video from Amazon. If that is true (and I don't know if it is) then I wonder if Amazon put some additional security measures in place following the Sony hack. In other words, Amazon says "ok Sony, you obviously have some security issues so we are going to put the kybosh on requests for video coming through you". End result - Amazon Prime customers can't access streaming video through Sony's BD devices, but they can by just about any other means. Also, Sony BD devices continue to stream other services like Netflix and Hulu, but just not Amazon Prime. Fast forward a couple of weeks - Sony develops a system udpate that allows their Amazon Prime app to comply with Amazon's new security requirements. Sony BD device owners (like the poster above) perform the update and voila, they can stream Amazon Prime again. Again, that's just my theory. I have not heard any of the above from Sony or Amazon. But tonight I'm going to do the system update when I get home and see if it fixes my issues across the board. As of this morning it was still very random. One video willl play and the next won't.

Get playback error when try to watch amazon prime movies on ipad

Trying to watch amazon prime movies on my ipad, have instant movies app but keep getting playback error. What am I doing wrong?

the issue is DRM the same thing would happen with remote desktop
the DRM block the video stream from being sendt to a source where it have no control with if it's copied and in the proccess removing the DRM
it's 100% intentional and really because it's not really "legal" to do that
some people repport that the play called VLC works so that mean that player remove the drm itself which is again breaking the law

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV

Trying to stream Amazon Prime Free videos from Ipad via Mirroring to Apple TV. Trailer plays fine. Real Movie plays audio only. Some error messahe that HD video can't be played over HDMI cable. I telling ya that 25 foot VGA cable is looking better and better. Apple TV tech the differrence had to be done at the time of encoding

Amazon blocks Airplay in encoding the movie. It's not the HDMI cable, or AppleTV for that matter.

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.

HT204291 I cannot stream amazon prime to my tv? I can get sound but no video.

I am using my iPad and cannot stream amazon prime to the tv?
The sound comes thru but no video!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
Amazon have blocked both basic AirPlay and mirroring.

HT204390 Before the recent iOS 7 update I could get closed captioning on amazon prime movies, now it's not possible even the ones that have CC available .. I've turned in on in setting on my iPad mini but it doesn't work. Netflix is no problem.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Streaming Amazon Prime Video

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1 and an Amazon Prime Instant Video subscription that I stream through the Amazon Instant Video App. Can anyone tell me if the Digital AV cable (30-pin to hdmi) will allow me to stream Amazon Prime Instant Videos on my tv by directly connecting my iPad2? I've heard some apps will only stream the audio to the tv with no picture.

How can I get an amazon prime movie to show up on a projector through my phone?

I am trying to get a movie to play on a projector through my iphone using Amazon Prime. The phone screen will show up until I turn on Amazon Prime and then it goes gray. A message appears telling me that I have to disable Air Play.

Update the Amazon Instant Video app, I suspect the version installed is an older version that does not support AirPlay.

Amazon Prime movies on my AppleTV

I dumped NetFlix....tired of arrogant companies who think they can double their prices and we, the "loyal" consumer will follow like sheep. That said, and now off my soapbox, I LOVE my AppleTV. But, I am trying to figure out a way to watch the Amazon Prime streaming movies using it. Is it possible to do this? AppleTV has Netflix, which I won't use....I would think there is a way to do the Amazon Prive streaming movies as well. Does anyone know if you can and how?

I was wondering about that, also. Sadly, after reading through pages of questions and comments, it looks like a big NO. Some people seem to be able to mirror content through a small device, but not through ATV. I have both Netflix and Amazon Prime, and only through my ROKU device can I see both (along with other subscription channels not available on ATV).

HT4437 Why can't you stream Amazon Prime using Apple TV?

The whole reason I bought the Apple TV was to be able to stream from my ipad and my macpro to TV my Amazon Prime free movies. Now it looks like this is blocked. This seems outrageous. I told the sales person at the store what I wanted to do and they recommended the Apple TV. When I went back they did not know that Amazon Prime is blocked. What's up with this? Any chance that Amazon Prime will be able to be on seen on Apple TV any time soon?

Not sure if an app will be realeased, but you can stream Amazon Instant Videos from your computer to your Apple TV.

Stream amazon prime

How can I use the Apple TV to stream video from Amazon Prime?
thanks

On July 31, 2012, Amazon Prime added an iPad app to the iTunes store. This app allows the streaming of Amazon Prime videos to the iPad and through AirPlay to the AppleTV. This is the only method that I know of at the moment, I have been unable to find any other way on Google or otherwise.

IPhone and Amazon Prime movies

I currently have an Android phone and an Amazon Prime account. This allows me to download - free- thousands of movies and TV shows. I am thinking of upgrading my phone, and an iPhone is high on my list. This would integrate well with my other Apple products: MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod.
Question that I have though is there an app on iPhone to dowload and view movies from Amazon? Since that is mainly an Android site I am concerned about compatability...
Thanks,
John

Nope. No love for Amazon Prime in the App store.

Does anyone know how I stream non-MP4 movies to apple TV?

Just migrated from PC to Mac Book Pro...love it but dissapointed that I can not stream non-MP4 movies to Apple TV as I do using CineX Player on my iPad.
Does anyone know a work around???
Many thanks
N

"Air parrot" will stream your desktop to Apple-TV.
So if you use VLC or somesuch player that has a "fullscreen" mode and plays non-MP4 movies you can stream your non-MP4 movie to AppleTV. I've done it, and it works OK, and it is as requested a "work around".
You can try it out for free (http://airparrot.com) and if you like it, it's not very expensive.
Only problem I've encountered is having to use the Mac's system preferences to switch sound back to the Mac after I've finished with Air Parrot.
Hope that helps.
Robert.
