When will Apple give us Amazon instant video on Apple tv?

I have been waiting for a long time for this.

Nobody here will have any information about that since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Any responses you may receive may well be removed and would be wholly unreliable in any case.
If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here.
Meantime you should have no problems purchasing or renting from the iTunes store, it has over 65,000 movies and 1/4 million TV shows to choose from.

  • HT202157 When will Apple TV support Amazon Prime Instant Video?

    When will Apple TV support Amazon prime instant video?

    Most of the YouTube video subtitles are inserted by flash. Unfortunately, ios OS products don't support flash. If you do want to play them with subtitle, maybe you can use a video converter to help you convert YouTube videos to Apple TV. The only thing you should make sure before the conversion is that the videos that you download is bearing the subtitle, then the converted files would have the substitles as well. Hope that would help.

  • HT202157 Is there any chance that Apple TV will support Amazon Instant Video?

    I watch Netflix, but I also have Amazon Instant Video because it has shows that are not on Netflix.

    This is a user forum, can't really speak to this here. Since Amazon block airplay I don't see it happening any time soon though.

  • How can i use air play to play amazon instant videos through Apple TV on my television

    I downloaded movies from Amazon Instant Video to my iPad (3rd generation).  When I go to play the movies on my iPad, it gives me the option to play via Air Play on my iPad or Apple TV.  If I choose Apple TV on my television, the audio will play but not the video.  How can this be resolved?

    It's probably because the app is designed to not allow it.
    When you tap on the Airplay icon, check what is the icon beside the AppleTV choice.  If it's a speaker instead of the AirPlay icon, it means the app will only send audio and no video.
    Many streaming app restrict the video playback on external display.  It is not an Apple limitation but an third-party decision when they made the app.  I saw some TV app restricting Airplay video and some other not.  You should complain to the thrid party which will most probably reply this is related to advertisement contract to restrict the streaming playback on TV screen.
    The next big thing here that may change this is Airplay mirrorring with Mountain Lion which is bypassing all of these restrictions. 

  • Having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video

    II'm having difficulty connecting apple tv with amazon instant video or it won't stay connected. Help!

    Is it naive of me to think that Apple should simply provide a portal on their Apple TV menu for me to access my Amazon Instant Video movies?
    Maybe a little.  Amazon is a direct competitor, so it is not really in Apple's best interest to go out of its way to add support for a competing service that will cause Apple to lose money.  The bigger problem though is all of these video services using DRM to encrypt their content and lock it away from consumers so we can only watch content we pay for on certain devices.  Compaired to before when you could buy a DVD and watch it on any TV.  Now when you buy content you can only using it on a few specific devices.
    Is their failure to do so about an Amazon/Apple rivalry, or because the two have to make some kind of deal before this can happen
    They are competitors, but a bigger issue is that it is an incredibility complex legal agreement they would have to work out.  First there are legal agreements that would have to be worked out with literally thousands of copyright holders to distribute their content.  Then there is the software licenncing since Apple and Amazon would have to disclose how their DRM encrption works, then there are pateint agreements that can be worth billions that have to be worked out.  And all of that work would be so that they support a competator.  So there is not a lot motivating them to do something that would cost a lot of money and time.
    If watching Amazon content is really your major priority you might want to return your ATV and get a Roku.

  • Anyone able to play Amazon Instant Video using Apple Digital AV Adapter

    Amazon just released the Amazon Instant Video app for the iPad July 31, 2012. Version is 1.0
    It's not a great app yet. I can get it to play on the iPad (by itself). When I hook up the iPad to the TV using the Digital AV Adapter, the app gets very unstable, crashes at times, doesn't load shows....basically doesn't work. Virtually everything else on the iPad displays fine on the TV using the adapter. I've tried Safari, Netflix, and a couple of games just to see if the problem was with the iPad or the app. The problem is with the app.
    I emailed Amazon support via feedback within the app, and got responses back similar to this:
    "I'm so sorry for the trouble you facing with the Instant videos which you want to play on TV.
    I understand now a days all the TV's are HDMI connected but I assure you that we are working for the improvements required on this field.
    The Amazon Instant Video app for iPad does not support playback on HDMI-connected TVs.
    Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide. I've forwarded your feedback to our Amazon Instant Video team for consideration as we make future improvements."
    I find it hard to believe they designed it to not work that way-I replied and asked them if it was...have not heard back yet.
    Has anyone been able to view Amazon Instant Video on their TV from an iPad ? If yes, how did you do it.?

    <"The makers of the app tell you it does not work that way, you think they are lying to you?">
    Where did you read that the app doesn't support this?  Their app description says it does not support AirPlay. I'm not using AirPlay. It doesn't mention anywhere that it doesn't support iPads connected to TVs with HDMI, except in a support email response back to me.
    With the iPad hard wired to the TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable, on all of the other apps I've tried, the TV mirrors the iPad display. Even the few free games I tried would do this. This app falls apart when you hook up the HDMI to the iPad. To me that's a bug. I find it hard to believe that they designed it to not put out compatible digital video from the iPad. I would rather have seen their email response say that this is a known bug and that they are working on a fix. Maybe they are just beginning to understand the issues with version 1 and told the poor people answering the support emails to just say that it's not supported.
    I'm not particularly upset with them, as it is v1.0 of a free app. It's got plenty of other shortcomings. I was hoping that it would work somthat we could take advantage of the Amazon Prime stuff we're paying for without having to go out and buy another set top box or Blu-ray player that was compatible with their stuff.
    I would have gladly paid some money for a well designed app. Wish they had gone that route.

  • HT201335 No video when streaming from Amazon Instant Videos

    When I select the Airplay button from the Amazon Instant Video App on my iPad 4 it only sends the audio to the Apple TV, it does not play any video. The Apple TV is wired into the ethernet while of course the iPad is wireless; not sure if that has anything to do with it. What does it take to get this working. If the only thing I can stream is iTunes I've wasted $100 on this box.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Amazon blocks AirPlay. It's not the Apple TV that you wasted money on, but purchasing content from Amazon. Use the iTunes Store for your content.

  • 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.

  • Why no amazon instant video on Apple TV?

    Why does Apple TV not have Amazon instant video?

    Presumably because Apple have not entered into an agreement with Amazon to provide it.
    AppleTV does not allow you to access any website you choose.

  • Music, Photos, Videos... I can't sync anything for iPhone 4. When will Apple release the new version of iTunes?

    I tried every methods up online trying to sync the music, photo, and videos. Nothing is working right now ever since I updated my ios to 7.
    This is happening to most of people who owns iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Does anyone know when will Apple release the new version of iTunes which will fix the sync problem?
    What's the point of having a smartphone when you can't sync anything?

  • When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    When will Apple give the Battery Percentage option for the iPod?

    It's hard to tell since Apple has never included it in all generations of the iPod and I assume you mean the iPod Touch.
    Apple could place it in the sixth generation iPod Touch but Apple has been pretty tight lipped on the possiblity of one coming. It's been since 2012 when the fifth generation arrived in the fall so the iPod lineup is due for an upgrade. Some reports say it won't come this year and others say different. But with the new iPhone expected to debut with larger screen it is still possible the new iPod will come with a larger screen alongside the new iPhone. It happened back in 2012.
    But no one really knows. Until then download an app to measure your battery percentage. I have battery doctor and it's really useful to determine how much battery my iPod has left and it also can clean up your memory and any junk files.

  • When will apple stop being stubborn and start supporting flesh video?

    When will apple stop being stubborn and start supporting flesh video? I cannot fully use CNBC or Bloomber, for example, on IPAD. This is really not how to treat your customers

    I believe Apple is all about innovation, simplicity & thinking of the box. Adobe Flash is an old technology - which over the years has not been developed or succeeded with a better offering from Adobe, leaving behind an application that is slow, buggy and a resource hog. When Apple creates technologies it thinks about future, which is the key to success. Like everyone you too should moved on. HTML 5 is the way to go.
