HI All
I Have an international Mibox 3 running on the April Nougat Beta and have installed Android TV version of Amazon instant (Sony and NVIDIA versions) and they run fine. However, they will only play trailers when I try full tv or films I get a message telling me 'internet connection error'
Netflix and the BBC player play fine. Could this be a DRM issue?
All sensible troubleshooting suggestions gratefully received
It is a DRM issue. The amazon player is super locked down and very few devices are given full access with the highest quality because of the DRM.
I wonder if anyone has tried installing the Amazon Underground app and accessing Prime video from that?
Only way to get HD (on the Beta OS) is to side load Chrome & login like you would via PC, same keyboard controls too.
Helps if you have an air mouse or a spare keyboard/mouse to use, because the stock remote is 💩
I just got home and checked. I'm watching an episode of the grand tour right now on Amazon video on my MiBox 4K.
I imagine what's stopping you is the beta Android OS because it's a "user debug" not "release" signed build. I'm still on Marshmallow.
im running my mibox with nougat beta and amazon prime canada works for me but i had to use the 'prime launcher' apk to get it to work and set my region to usa in that launcher the first time to get it to work. all the other apks i tried didn't work...
Only Amazon approved TV devices (Android TV or not) can play full videos. Xiaomi have to make a deal with Amazon to make the app work in their device. It's a lengthy process so many OEM don't want to go to that hassle.
