As MANY others have reported here, this app just refuses to work on Android TV. I have a brand new Sony TV that runs on Android TV, and the Prime Video app opens (very slowly, by the way), and lets you browse the menus, but it doesn't play any content, and then gives you a random error message, non-descriptive, and useless, that changes every time. The only way to make it work is to uninstall all updates and use the old version that came with the TV. And then the app gets updated and fails again. Awful, completely useless app! Every other streaming app works fine on Android TV (Netflix, Hulu, AMC, Peacock, etc.), so the problem is only with Prime Video.

I would like to like the app but I don't. it obviously has a memory leak and it will eventually start making your entire Android TV go crazy. The app itself is difficult to deal with. Amazon needs to have their developers learn how to handle and manipulate video and a UI that is user-friendly instead of hostile. trying to rewind is like trying to dress a mouse. Even with the best best bandwidth and connection video is laggy when you try to skip forward or rewind. content and everything else

I can kinda look past it's horrible interface and it's buggyness, what I can't get past is the fact that it always streams in 720p with a very low bitrate on my 4k tv(!) and 1gbps internet connection. I've resorted to just using the chromecast in the android app, because even with more hoops to jump through, at least I don't have to use this horrible, horrible app anymore. You're amazon, you have more money than multiple countries combined, make a decent app.

Latest update is buggy (v5.4.9), when playing a show or movie, the time counter doesn't start always, and if you quit a show, you can't resume where you left of. Also the pause/play options don't work when this happens. The new update also, removed the content resolution from the display, it was nice to know the type of content the show/movie was in. I'm uninstalling this version and going back to the previous one v5.4.7

I have a Google TV (Chromecast) device. I am experiencing an issue where the video is freezing after 1 second and the audio continues for any movie/show continues. When I tried using the Prime App on Xbox, it works. I think there's an issue specifically with the Prime Video app on Google TV. I tried clearing the cache as well as reinstalling the app. Nothing worked. This is happening everytime. All other apps on Google TV are working fine (ie. Netflix, Crave, etc). Can someone take a look?
