Prime Video app keeps reopening itself on adroid TV

by Reave1905

Anyone else have a solution to this? Whenever I open or watch anything on Prime Video, then come out of the app with the home button on my remote, after about 20 seconds it reopens itself automatically. It happens even after I open another app like Netflix or Youtube, and even if I change the source to one of the HDMI's. It doesn't happen with any other app, only Prime Video.

The only way I've been able to get this to stop is if I hold down the power button on the remote and select 'restart' on my TV. It's fine, and I can live with it, but it's kind of annoying as it takes my TV a few minutes for a restart, so hope someone here has a solution.

Also not a solution but... if you keep pressing back on your remote while inside Prime Video it will eventually ask you if you want to exit the app. Doing so prevents it from reopening, at least in my case.

Not really a solution as such.. more of a workaround and I'm not sure it will be present or work on whatever you've got. Developer options has an option that instantly kills apps on exit..a thing that is not wanted/desirable for most use cases.

I've been having this same issue as well. Would like to know if there's a fix yet.
