Amazon Video Extracted from Gen. 2

Isn't anyone the least bit skeptical of entering their account information into some random APK downloaded from MEGA ? Incredibly poor security practice ....

Weirdest thing - My harmony remote's enter/okay command isn't working in app. I have to pull up a usb mouse and click to enter anything. Anyone know what that's about?

Nice, do we have the Steam APK yet?

Installation on my mibox was no problem, even navigation in the app works fine.

But when I start streaming something, an error message occurs which tells, that the video can't be watched at the moment and I should try again later...

Tried anybody else this app on a mibox?

Thanks for this. Works almost perfectly on my Gen1 Shield. I haven't tried it with the remote yet, though, only the controller.

The only thing that is a little weird is that headphones plugged into the controller give no sound with UHD content unless surround sound passthrough is disabled in HDMI settings. It's a small price to pay to have access to UHD content, though. (The Sony APKs wouldn't fall back to 1080p for me..I got a perpetual loading throbber when trying to watch The Grand Tour or Man In the High Castle, among other things)

What about the sound format? Is Dolby Digital available with this Amazon App?

Is this one different from the ones extracted from Sony TVs?

I just installed it on my 1st gen. Shield, and... Avast warned me about this apk being suspicious, and telling me that my device may have been damaged because of that app... Don't know what to think, maybe a false positive but... Just be careful.

Yep, tested and works here. Needed a reboot as well before HD content started showing up.

When I try to install this on my 1st gen 16gb shield, I just get a white box with "OK" in it, and after clicking ok it exits. Have any of you had this problem installing? Is there another version of the app or is there some sort of workaround or fix for it?

Does this work on the Mi Box?

Does not work anymore, tested on Nexus Player, seems like Amazon has locked the app.
