Samsung Tv Amazon Prime App Installieren

Amazon Prime Video app is finally available for Android Television receiver, kind of

In a higher place: The Nvidia Shield TV

Amazon really seems to exist trying to get dorsum into Google'due south skillful graces later on a spat that largely started with the

removal of YouTube

from the

Amazon Repeat Show

Now, seemingly as role of that attempt, there's now (finally) an Amazon Prime Video app available for Android Television set.

But in that location'due south a catch, every bit Android Law (opens in new tab) discovered. You tin can't really utilize the service at the moment with many Android TV-uniform devices, as Amazon hasn't updated the compatibility list.

If you try to install it, in other words, you'll likely just encounter a long listing of devices it'due south not compatible with. Then far no 1'south found a device information technology actually works with.

In fact, the problem even extends to devices like the Nvidia Shield TV, which really already includes the Amazon Prime app in its firmware (and then was a style of working around the Prime number Video app'south long absence from the Play Shop for Android TV devices).

Whatever. Hopefully it's a small-scale technical thing that could exist fixed in a couple of hours. At least it's a stride in the right direction that will ultimately benefit us on the user side of things.

A little of this, a trivial of that

At this bespeak, the most interesting aspect of this conflict is seeing how far Google feels similar Amazon has to go before all wrongs are made right.

Amazon already appear that it would start selling the Chromecast once more (although it has yet to actually appear on the site) and the improver of Prime number Video to Android TV is a significant comeback (although it'southward still not bachelor on the Chromecast).

It's also worth wondering how long this good-natured vacation cheer will last, as just yesterday Amazon was caught filing trademarks for what looks like a YouTube competitor called "Amazontube." Hopefully that'due south all backside u.s. at present.
