In case you didn't know Amazon brought down their price for Prime today (only) to $72 for new members only. So I went and bought a subscription. I can get it to work on my Note 4, but cant seem to get it to work on my Note 12.2
Has anyone figured out how to play from Amazon Instant Videos?
or
I was wondering If anyone knew the right combo of Apps I need to download in order to get Instant Video to work?
Side Note. I know Google Removed Amazon’s Original App from Google Play for Adding their own type of Appstore inside there App.
Ist very simple: you must use the PHONE Version of Amazons store app (NOT "Amazon for Tablets"!!!) to get Instant/Prime Video to work on the tablet! You have to install it with Amazons own app store.

Ok Yeah after downloading a few wrongs ones I figured it out.
Amazon Version 5.2.2 - (Not the Tablet One, or Shopping One)
Instant Video Version 1.0 (I havent looked for an updated version yet)
Sweet I got it to work Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong... I downloaded the amazon app from the Amazon app store and it shows the green watch instantly link, but when I click it loads into the instant video and fails with "unknown_error". Any tips for what I should try differently?

Did you make sure they were the same Versions I posted in my previous Post?
Mine is playing perfectly fine. Try uninstalling and re-installing the apps.

Ok after just about pulling my hair out and canceling my netflix i figured this out.
If you are having problems getting Netflix to work on your 4:3 8in or other Android tablet you might try the following. If it works please leave a reply.
I have gotten this to work on both a Herotab MID816 and a Coby Kryos MID8024.
#1 Uninstall all previous versions of Netflix ( may have to do this three times).
#2 Go to Application manager and make sure you clear all data in all google market and other type of "Market" apps you may have. Also clear any App checker, Google certificate and Installer data.
#3 download This Unckecked version com.netflix.mediacliant_1.2.2.apk
The netflix app may open in portrait mode but the movies and shows will play in landscape.
DO NOT try to update Netflix,, if you do you will have to go through it all over again.
The problem is with Google Market , it checks your version.
Hope this works for you.
Please give thanks to the following for their hard work making this work:

Thanks! This worked for the Coby Kyros 7022 on the first try.
Get it on Amazon App Store
I was able to get Netflix from the Amazon app store that runs flawlessly on the Coby 7022.
Just go to the Amazon . com app store and search netflix ... you'll need to register but it is free and so is the app.

Could you post this netflix apk since it works?
I still have this issue.
same here, even with amazon store netflix, still the 13000 error
is there anyway to set-up alerts for apps on sale at either Play or Amazon apps?
There's AppSales, but it's only for Google Play.

well that's something.
Uh oh!! Your Appsale link doesn't work anymore. Is there anything else? I'm curious about this too. I want to get NFS: Most Wanted on sale. LoL!!
And there was no way for me to get directly to the 25 cent Google Play sale unless I went through a link on the website. I didn't know how to navigate through the Desktop Play Store to find these apps. I definitely didn't know how to find these apps in the Mobile Play Store.
Sorry for my rant. =.P
The link still works. You can also go to Google Play and search for appsales.
Appzapp is a newish app in the play store which I use to keep informed of sales. It's still in beta but if it turns out to be as good as the ios version it will be a great app

Ah!! You're right. I opened it from my tablet and it worked. But I couldn't go to the link from my computer. Anyways I found it so thanks.
these are booth listed as supported and crash.
Final freeway 2 (downloaded from the amazon app store)
Fractal Combat (downloaded from google play)
latest version crashes.
amazon app store (using an old version but the login is never remembered)
Do you know where I can find an old version or otherwise an apk for the Amazon app store that won't crash on Shield?

is it a licensing thing between amazon and nvidia about getting the app store to work or just amazons slow process of adding device compatibility?

The second one I'd think.
There is a way to access "my apps" press Y on the Nvidia Shield and that will bring up the menu just as it does on phones that have a menu button...you can access more than just "my apps" as well such as settings adding gift cards etc.

Hi Guys,
Recently HBO GO was released for Fire TV (Source:http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=1999513), this version should have support for various remotes and thus if anyone could pull the APK I would very grateful along with many other HBO Watchers. You probably have to be rooted to obtain the APK so keep this in mind.
EDIT: APK has been pulled - download here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57527277&postcount=3
Thanks Guys,
Keep up the Good Stuff
CURRENT STATUS: APP Installs - Navigation works - Video fails to Load or Loads Endlessly

I managed to get a few videos started but yer now it seems they all cut off straight away - Do you reckon its to do with device activation?
- Also it is so laggy and slow is this the same on Fire TV? (Like in the UI - maybe missing some of the required libs to run properly)
EDIT: It always plays the intro "It's HBO GO" with Rating, however never successfully retrieves content I guess there is some sort of device handshake if not maybe the app checks the build of the device to see if it matchs or maybe some framework is missing; In any case now we have the app, we can experiment to find a solution.
How did you add it to your library? It won't let me
I managed to get it to work using the HBO Go 2.8.02 APK extracted from my Nexus 7. I disabled USB Debugging on my rooted NP running LP 5.1 and videos play just fine. Only during fast forwarding and rewinding do I get a little buffering, that's expected.
I'm using 2.7.06 and it works great. Just download and old version and 6iu should be good.
Can you please upload the apk??

I think I should seek help from other talents to root my mobile first.:crying:
There have been a few threads on this for the stock ROMs, but in case you're rockin' CM 12 I thought I'd chime in... It's actually pretty simple and worked flawlessly for me. will it work on CM11 ? Honestly, I don't know.
Step 1: Remove any pre-existing Amazon store apps, instant video apps from your device.
Step 2: Go to apkmirror dot com ( note: this is not a warez site to the best of my knowledge ), and look for the amazon area, Grabbing these: com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient-1.0-1-minAPI15.apk and com.amazon.mShop.android-5.2.2-502012-minAPI9.apk .
Load them up. Open the amazon instant video app, log in, select your movie and enjoy! Hope you found this useful.
This looks like what I've been looking for but I can't find these files. Suggestions?

Sorry to hear that; this was only to get the movies up and running.
I found an easier way:
Install Amazon App. The one for phones from an app store.
Install Aptoide and install Amazon Instant Video from there. Or Instant Music. In general, an okay app for free apps not available due to device limits.
Login to the Amazon app, then run Prime Video.
Hide the Amazon Mobile app in the launcher. If you need to use Amazon, install the Tablet version.
By the way, I got this to work for me on Cyanogenmod 11. You don't need to uninstall previous Amazon apps either if they're another fork like the Tablet version.
