Though on my MiBox it's buggy. Often won't show indicator of the cursor position. Playback won't last more than a minute before FC.

Edit: to clarify, the link is for general Prime Video app on Playstore. It used to say not compatible with ATV but you can push the app to an ATV now.

The link you provided is the Mobile/Tablet version of Prime Video, maybe you are talking about this version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom

If it's anything like the Apple TV app, it's shit.

This isn't the ATV version , it's still blocked due to the Google/Amazon pissing contest.

It's a start

yep no leanback icon so not official AndroidTV version , though its odd it's listed as compatible for both the shield and Mibox especially as it doesn't seem to work with the remote or controller. My guess is its an admin error

I don't think has rolled out to everyone yet. It's been on there for a while, but not downloadable. There's a lot of us Sony TV users that keep an eye on this sort of thing with the inbuilt app being so bad

It's all weird, I am able to see on web about that app able to install, but when I searched on play store android tv app, I couldn't found it.

But anyone can explain me, why play store amazon android tv app had download count of 50,000+?

App installs on the Shield right off the Play Store (crashes during playback for me).

You can add to watchlist from the app, which you still can't do on the native Shield app.

Definitely not the ATV version, though shows as compatible with my NP through the GP store. Happy to finally have it though!

It installed on my mibox but crashed as soon as playback started, oh well

Now all Android tv devices removed..

Good job, Amazon.

But when does it add compatibility list for amazon prime video android tv official play store app :(

Hey guys,

Try this version 4.5.17

I saw it on this webpage (it’s in Spanish and has news about Android stuff) https://androidpc.es/blog/2018/05/11/amazon-prime-video-para-android-tv-ya-funciona-en-4k-uhd/

In that webpage scroll to where it says “Descarga la versión 4.5.17 Amazon Prime Video”

I have successfully sideloaded it on my mibox, it works without a hitch (except that I was watching a Korean movie in English and suddenly the audio switched from English to Korean, Otherwise it seems to be fine)

I don’t have an UHD tv, but in 1080p it works fine, The webpage however states that it works in 4K uhd

Also, please remember to update your box before trying to use it
