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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Your downloaded movie should be in the library tab of the Amazon instant video app.

  • 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.

  • Why is amazon instant video not available from itunes in australia?

    Please dont tell me its a creative rights issue.
    This is an example of apples my way or not at all.
    I can get amazon instant video on my tv, my pc and my nokia.
    But not ipad.. Bloody useless.
    One and only apple purchase
    Really really sad
    So much potential
    So much fascist behaviour from a vendor
    We are the customers

    Ask Amazon - they've let Apple have it in the US store, they are the ones who will need to grant Apple a licence to have it in the Australian store.

  • How to display amazon instant video on a tv

    I am trying to project an Amazon Prime movie from the Amazon Instant video App on my ipad to my TV.
    I am using this cable and connecting through an HDMI cable.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a
    I can see the iPad on the tv UNTIL the movie actually starts and then the tv screen goes blank. We can hear the movie through the tv, but the video is just gone. I can watch other apps and play games that project on the tv.
    Does anyone know how I can get the video to display on my tv from the amazon instant streaming video app?
    I am using this app:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-instant-video/id545519333?mt=8
    Thanks.

    You don't. 
    Probably due to licensing they have disabled video out.

  • Amazon Instant Video with pipelight: HD not available (HDCP)

    On my 64-bit archlinux-laptop I am using pipelight (0.2.5-2) and wine-silverlight (1.7.14-1) to watch video-streams of my "Amazon Instant Video"-account. Before end of february 2014, the provider of the video-stream-service was called "lovefilm" (Germany) and everything worked fine on archlinux. But now, I cannot watch movies in HD anymore and get this message:
    HD viewing isn't available because the display doesn't meet content protection (HDCP) requirements. This title will continue in Standard Definition.
    Maybe, I made something wrong with my pipelight/wine-silverlight-configuration. On my Playstation for example, I have no problems with "Amazon Instant Video" and HD. I guess, on ms-windows it should work as well. By the way, I am not using an external monitor (VGA-connections can cause HDCP-errors). And as ewaller told me in an e-mail, I should mention in this forum, that my intention is not to crack any copyright-protections but only want to watch my paid movies on my laptop.
    Andreas

    Hi andreas,
    the short answer is: its not (yet) supported with Pipelight. HDCP (or content protection in general) is a feature which is not available with any Linux driver (not even the proprietary ones), and besides that some other features are missing too. Nevertheless this is on our todo-list for future versions of Pipelight, but we can't give an exact schedule, especially as it involves a lot of legal problems and questions.
    For a bit more detailed information please take a look here, where Michael Müller (one of the other developers involved in Pipelight) summarized the current status. You can also subscribe to the bug report mentioned there if you want to be informed about all news concerning this issue.
    By the way: You would encounter exactly the same problem in some situations on Windows, for example when your monitor is only connected via VGA, and thus the video data cannot be securely transmitted.

  • HT4539 Amazon instant video

    I'm trying to download  Amazon instant video on my iPad ,but it's not  available in the app store .can someone tell me why?
    And what can i do ?

    Thanks for your help King Penguin. I disabled restrictions and although it didn't solve the issue, it may have helped. What solved it was going to Settings, General, Usage and deleting the Amazon Prime app from there. Even though it wasn't showing on my desktop, it appeared there. Then I updated my OS software version which I had a reminder to do, then when I searched for the app in the App Store I was able to download it. Many thanks for replying!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Transfer Amazon Instant Video Content from iPod Touch

    I made the mistake of purchasing a TV season from Amazon Instant video, unaware that I would not be able to download my content to my MacBook. I was able to download the TV season to my Windows Desktop using Amazon Unbox, but the DRM protected WMV files will not play on my Macbook. I was also able to download the TV season to my iPod Touch, using the Amazon Instant Video app. So, I was hoping to transfer these files from my iPod to my Macbook.
    Now my question is: Where are the downloaded video files saved on my iPod? I downloaded iFunBox to browse the files on my iPod, but I could not find the video files anywhere. Does anyone know where the Amazon Instant Video app saves downloaded content in the iPod Touch's file structure?
    Thank you,
    James

    Update:
    I was able to locate the files I was looking for, however, they were not video files. Each TV episode is represented by a folder containing hundreds of small .data files.
    Does anyone know if .data files can be reassembled into a video? I have a feeling this is linked to DRM protection.
    Thanks,
    James
