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.

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.

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.

HT202157 Will Apple add Amazon Prime Video Streaming to Apple TV

I am trying to find out if you can use Apple TV to stream Amazon Prime directly with out going through another device - ie Ipad Iphone - Computer - etc

Hi Cameron,
It doesn't appear that Apple TV is currently supported for Amazon Prime streaming. From the Amazon site:

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.

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.

Can I access amazon prime videos via Apple TV?

I am an Amazon Prime member. I also have Apple TV. Can I access Amazon Prime videos via my Apple TV?

I was about to buy Apple TV when I found out about this. Looks like I'm getting ROKU this weekend instead. It's such ashame that everything has to be competitive. Geez...Apple is killing the industry so why worry? I have to look at the bottom dollar, and paying $79 for Amazon Prime and unable to stream to my television...and since Roku is $49 cheaper than Apple TV and I have more streaming content...looks like the smart choice.

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.

Amazon prime video airplay blocked on all Apple devices, why?

Why is it that Apple cannot figure out how to come to an agreement with the largest online book and video supplier in regards to making apple airplay available for Amazon prime video account holders. Amazon Prime is a pretty cool technology but politics and money are blocking Apple users from being able to use this technology. You can hear the movie but there is no picture. Nothing is wrong, Amazon has just blocked all Apple users from what I can tell. It does seem a bit hush,hush for some reason. I love Apple, but they need to learn to play with others better or they will find themselves in decline with all the Microsoft tablet products out there. Anyone wish to weigh in on this dilemma?

While I agree Apple cannot control Amazon, but on the other hand Apple could try to negotiate on behalf of all their customers. Apple is pretty powerful company, no excuses for not trying to do something. There is now an app, and we know that Amazon does market themselves as not being exclusive. This is an incredible technology and should be enjoyed by Apple customers.

Does Apple plant on streaming Amazon Prime

Sony XBR55X800B no sound on just netflix and amazon prime video

I just got this new tv and the sound works perfect on cable tv (hdmi) , plex app (local video streaming) , chromecast (hdmi) and even works with the pandora app but the second i switch to netflix or amazon video no sound... i have contacted sony checked all the settings with them. They even did the whole remote tv access then i spoke to netflix which they concluded its my internet connection not allowing me to hear sound while picture is coming in great with no lag.. i have a sound bar (with arc) but the issue happens even when the soundbar is disconnected. Sony and netflix made it seem like i am the only one that has this issue, hard to believe so does anyone have any suggestions or should i just return the tv?
thank you in advance!

Start from the beginning. Disconnect soundbar and switch TV audio back to "TV Speakers" Turn off any Bravia Sync features and update software on the TV. Test Netflix with this configuration.
If that doesn't work try a HD video on You Tube. Next do a speedtest on your network with your PC, laptop, tablet, etc. You should have a minimum of 5-7 Mbps dl to stream HD content smoothly.
Next try running a network cable to your router instead of wifi.
If none of that works I'm out of ideas. I would definitely begin with a software update on the TV.

A retina MBP will need HDMI on both ends.

Why can't i stream amazon instant video?

I press play, the window reloads with the original screen, and it says now playing, but nothing ever shows up.
I checked to ensure all of the system requirements were met, and even contacted amazon and ensured that all the settings were right.

If you are still using 10.6.3 use the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
It may cure your ills.

Streaming video from amazon prime?

Anything new on watching streaming video from amazon prime on ipad2? It seems I can't do it because of the flash. I am still on iOS 4, does this matter? thanks!

I just bought the Splashtop streamer app that allows you to stream flash video from Safari to your iPad. I'm streaming Amazon Prime video content to my iPad using this app. It's not perfect though. There is some loss of frame rate for some reason, although this may be due to the way my wireless network is set up. You install "server" software on your iMac or whatever and then it streams from there to the iPad.
