Amazon Prime Video for STB streaming issues

by SoulomonB

Hello boys and girls. I've been browsing through this subreddit for some time but it seems I can't find a solution for my problem. Lots of folks here knows their stuff so I decided to ask. My last try to make this app work lol

STB I'm using is provided by my cable tv/internet/phone operator. Here are some specs :

Model | EON Smart Box

Year | 2018

Broadcast | DVB-C / IPTV / OTT

Manufacturer | KAONMEDIA

Code name | KSTB6020

Android TV | 8.0

CPU | Quad-core 1.6 GHz

GPU | Broadcom VideoCore V HW (V3D-520)

RAM | 2GB

Storage | 8GB

I'm not connected on WiFi, but ethernet. DL speed is 150Mbps.

My problem : Movies and TV Shows lag. Almost every time. In very rare occasions everything works fine, and I've tried to figure out why with no luck (everything from bandwith to overheating lol). Trailers however, work fine...-_-

There is no app in Play Store, I've been trying so many apks I forgot the count (from newest to older).

Any clue?

Oh yes, the dudes from Amazon support didn't solve anything...

You tried contacting Amazon support for a totally unsupported device? Of course they didn't help you.

Never buy an Android device thinking that you're just going to download an APK off the internet somewhere to use an app that isn't supported by your device.

Amazon is supposedly eventually going to release Prime Video for all Android TV devices. Just wait for that. Or buy a Shield. Or a Fire TV. Or something else that officially supports it.

So, yea...After lil bit more of web research I've found out that this is common issue.

Google and Amazon have finally agreed to a truce. So soon you will get an official Prime Video App on certified Android TV devices and a YouTube App on FireTV devices.

You just have to be patient.

BTW: the EON Smart Box is an properly Google Ceritifed Android TV device:
