Any solution to play Amazon Instant Video on android ICS (HTC ONE S)? There is no app in the market for some reason. The only app available is for kindle fire. The app was extracted from the kindle fire and is available on this website if you do some search.
It installs on HTC ONE S (not rooted, T-mobile). You can search and browse videos but when video is selected to play there is a message 'unfortunately, amazon video has stopped' 'ok'
Amazon video can't be played thru stock broweser as it says it need flash player, and flash player is installed! You can play it thru Dolphin browser with add-on dolphin toggle desktop/mobile. However, the quality is choppy and can't be used as this.
I have tried the above option over Wi-Fi and 4G. Same results.
Other threads suggest that we might never have such option since kindle fire is not working on ICS platform. I got this. However, is there any other option that could be used or third party made app not related to kindle fire. etc?
And, yes I know we can use netflix but I like amazon instant video selection more than my cancelled netflix. Also, amazon has free video for prime shipping members.
Thank you.
This works on the Galaxy Nexus, but I make no promise that it will work for you.
Install flash
Open the stock browser (Chrome Beta will not work)
Go to amazon.com
open the browser menu and select Request Desktop Site*
The page will reload
scroll to the bottom of the page and click "amazon full site"
The desktop version of amazon will now load.
Browse to the instant video section of amazon and select the video you want and watch it just like you would on a desk top browser.
Once the video loads, click the full screen button
Enjoy
*I do not know where this is listed in the HTC stock browser or how it is labled. If you can not find this option, you might try downloading a browser based on the stock browser from the Play store, like ICS Browser+ or Quick Browser. Both of them have options to set your user agent to desktop

There is no app yet but I figured this is a good place to post it for someone looking for veetle on android. The iphone/pad has an app but we really dont need one now that it works. I cant get cable here so I stream foxnews from veetle. Now i can watch it on the phone.
FOR REAL: Stream Veetle.com on Android
I recently switched to an HTC Inspire 4G from an iPhone, and I've been super frustrated that veetle.com doesn't stream natively to the device. I've spent a good chunk of time looking into how to do this and this morning I came up with a decent way to stream any veetle channel on an Android device.
Requirements:
•*Rooted, S-OFF, et al
• Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 Installed
• VPlayer (can be installed from Android Market)
In the default browser in CM 7, tap Menu, tap More, then scroll to the bottom and choose Settings.
Again scroll to the bottom, and tap Select User Agent, found under Advanced Settings. Choose iPhone for the User Agent type.
Navigate to veetle.com, and you'll see it's presented as it is on the iPhone, and VPlayer handles the m3u8 streams just fine. You might need to turn up the buffer size in VPlayer to get a nice consistent flow, but this is my new method for watching Veetle.com on my phone.

Hey it definitely works when you play the channels from the veetle website but there seems to be a problem when i try to view veetle channel links on other websites.It gives me a message COULD NOT FIND STREAM LOCATION .I have confirmed that the stream is working by using my PC ,so any help would be much appreciated.
Finally i can see sports on veetle. Since im using nym`s i cant see. Can someone port the browser.apk? im very happy with this rom and im not planning on a change, but if no one can port the browser i might have to think about it.

I broadcast on veetle, full time. After my research on android, i found out that Android OS stream veetle using dolphin hd+vplayer could do it. Check MePirate on veetle movie list and go to my website for more details. There is vplayer.apk ready to be download there.
veetle on android
hi guys
a bit late with this but , i am running darkstons super ram on my hd2
and i can view veetle channels on the def browser. i can also use skyfire
which also streams bbc iplayer...dont live in the uk....how great is that
I can view anything at or above 360p from YouTube via default or dolphin browser?
The default YouTube app sucks dong cuz it buffers forever and I can't change quality of video...
If anyone know why I can't choose 360p in browser please let me know.
In the YouTube app there is HD button to switch between SD HD.
If you visit the desktop version of YouTube on the xoom you will have the same options as you would on your computer.
If you don't know how to do that search for about:debug ua string.

I am running desktop UA but YouTube would not play anything above 360p in browser.
Is it only me?
I prefer YouTube in browser than the dumb app.
Same issue here, seems to have just started a couple of days ago as it worked fine before when watching 720p in the browser. Now no videos work in pluse, stock browser or dolphin. Just get "an error, try back later". So then I click to go to the YouTube page for the video and still does not work. The only way to work is to swtich the ua string to android, I use the dolphin toggle extension but it is very annoying to have to do this all the time, I don't want to view mobile site on my tablet. Wtf is Google doing this, why block tablets from seeing HQ video, the main differentiation between their offerings and the ipad.
My guess, something to do with copyright. I personally think that its stupid to block mobile video in the first place.
I have had no issues. 720p plays in browser. Check your settings for playback on the YouTube site. If that don't work. Clear data for browser. That will loose all your bookmarks etc though.

I have no problems with it either way. If its android it just loads the mobile then I click on open desktop site. When on desktop it just goes right to desktop of course. No issues.
Cant watch any videos on the desktop site now.

You should be able to watch 240p
You're right, but that sucks.
Are you guys having the problem with stock Adobe Flash or only the modified version of Adobe Flash for hulu.com support?

Youtube doesn't even play for me with the flash from manta rom...
I have the modified hulu version.
am also using modified hulu version....
In my version of the hulu flash, all I modified was the version number and from Android to Windows so unless youtube now actually verifies the version number along with the version type, that may be the reason. There is a new version of Adobe Flash released yesterday, I will modify it as usual and will report the results here since I can't do much with hex editing as that is the only known hack.

can you post please because I would like to watch YT on my xoom again.
If you all are still having troubles with your Youtube on the Stock Browser, Dolphin, Opera, or Firefox, can you please give me some more details on your settings?
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
I hope to help you out, as well as others in the near future (be it advice or with the same problem) and get this problem resolved!
Thank You for the information in advance! ^_^
Sure,
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
=> No, I'm using desktop UA string so it is always www.youtube.com. I have to manually go to m.youtube.com.
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
=> I have WIFI xoom so WIFI only.
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
=> Yes, I am using desktop UA in dolphin as well. I don't see why using mobile UA on the tablet is usefull at all.
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
=> Videos ONLY WORK for me at 260p....doesn't matter whether I clear cache or history.
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
=> Yes, rebooted and only running browser...tried many many times.
So the other day I noticed that whenever i click a youtube link in twitter/facebook or on either of their mobile sites. Now for instance when i open a youtube link in QR droid for some tutorial it gives me the option to open with Dolphin / Internet / Youtube as opposed to it just being Dolphin / Internet when im using twitter or fb. I've cleared the the defaults for Dolphin HD browser and youtube just isnt showing up and ive uninstalled the updates for youtube and reinstalled them and i obviously can't reinstall the app so im kinda stuck and looking for a fix
any help is appreciated
im also using a droid incredible 2 on verizon, non rooted 2.3.3

I'm running gedeROM 5/13 and every time i try to sign in on the amazon mp3 app in order to get my music from the cloud, I get "failed due to network error. Retry when you are connected to the internet" But I am definitely connected to the internet, anybody else have this problem?

Yes, I just tried (using the same ROM) and I am having the same issue too...
How many devices do you have authorized in amazon account? I get log in errors whenever I have to many devices (every time you flash a rom a new device is added) Try deleting some of them and see if you can log in.

I get the same message. gedeRom v1.35, three devices registered on my Amazon account. Not too big of a deal as I don't use Amazon music all that often, but I sort of like everything to work properly.
I just figured out that you don't need the MP3 app. If you go to Amazon's website through your browser, you can access your cloud drive from there. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!

The new ROM that comes with the #11 kernel has it working again, FYI.
I installed the latest gedeRom 5/27 and still get the same error. It gives me the error when I try to go to the cloud player or purchase music from within the app and it asks me to login. I can still play music that is on my device from within the app. Also I know it's not the internet connection because I can stream previews of songs from the store within the app, just can't buy them.
Also I'm not having luck with flash and the cloud player from within the following browsers.
"Browser" - Will play but can't download to device
Dolphin HD- Page displays, but won't play or download
Chrome Beta- Page displays, but won't play or download
Opera Mobile- Won't even display the cloud player page
Firefox- Page displays, but won't play or download
I am still loving this rom and ics, but it would be that much better if I could get the Amazon MP3 app working.

I'm on 5/27 gedeROM right now, and the cloud player is finally working for me, I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you. Flash only works on the stock browser, I believe adobe said last year that they are no longer supporting mobile flash (so browsers like chrome beta won't have flash).

Actually, I think most browsers on ICS will support flash (Dolphin, Firefox, and Opera anyway). Newer ones, like Chrome beta will not.
Must be something in my twrp backup, just did a clean install of gedeRom 5-27 and first thing installed Amazon MP3 from market and it works. Then I ran restore in TWRP and started getting the error again. My backup didn't even include Amazon MP3 but obviously something in the backup is messing it up.
Oh well I will just abandon the recovery and install apps 1 by 1 from Titanium and the market. I'm just glad it's working.
what's causing you to have to restore your backups?
Got it working, I was an idiot and had messed with "autostarts".
Afternoon all,
Just looking for a bit of advice, I've recently bought a MXQ Android TV Box which I hoped to use on our main tv for Amazon Prime Video. I've installed the apk from the amazon website and logged into my account, I can see all the tv and films on offer although when I click to play the file I get the usual orange circle and then the screen goes black and I get redirected back to the choose a video. Seems to work file on my Samsung Tablet and Justop windows mini pc.
Any tried Amazon videos with one of these recently? Any help would be great.
Cheers
Dave
Looks like the trailers are working fine
I have had similar issues with the recent versions of the Amazon video apps. I began to think they just want their fire TV to dominate the tv. I now use a older version of their app side loaded from my 6 year old Sony goggle tv blue ray player which i never update.. It basically gives the Web site for the interface but at least it works. You might use yor Web browser and save the amazon video page as a bookmark on your desktop.

Tried dolphin, Firefox & Chrome to play the videos with no luck on the website. Same as you now though I found an old apk and installed that which plays the videos from the website. ?
I too have the same problem with Amazon prime video on my MXQ. Did anyone find any solution
Same here
Any news about that, i have the same issue, the app installe dcorectly, but when i run the stream .. it says that the app encounted some error.
@RG GEIGER , @DaveG46
What version of the old apk did you find?
Sorry @neffly27 I've since switched to the fire TV cube which has its own set of limitations but happy so far. Anyway I'm not sure of the version of the app I used on my mx box but it was years ago from the original goggle tv on a Sony DVD player.
