Can you watch YouTube Videos and Amazon Prime Videos with this player? Netflix was mentioned but not the others. Thanks!

Yes to Yahoo (and Netflix, Pandora, and VooDoo) but no to Amazon Prime, at least not out of the box. There may be a software upgrade eventually for Prime but none I have heard of.

Though I like the unit it cannot pull from the Internet you cannot download Amazon prime you can only pull down from Netflix or Blockbuster I have used it at home and on vacation to play blu rays and to watch Netflix , though at times the signal was dropped while watching netflix. Over all I like the player and the price was right

wifi lets you connect to online streaming services like netflix, hulu, or amazon prime. however, i would not recommend that you use this player. it shows a disconcerting tendency to lock up. a cheaper solution, and possibly a less frustrating one, would be to buy a blu-ray that has no connectivity to play your disks, and an amazon fire stick to stream your online media...

I cannot answer for Netflix since I do not have Netflix. However, I do have streaming with Amazon Prime, and it is ATROCIOUS!!! About a quarter of the movies I stream with this samsung player, will all of a sudden and out of the blue stop streaming. The frustrating thing is that when I try to restart the movie, it does not give me the "Resume Play" option, so I have to restart from the beginning and try to guess where it left off. The other day, I was watching "Fatal Instinct" and the player dropped the connection over a dozen times (Im not exaggerating) so frustrated and angry I decided to finish watching the movie on my pc and it never got disconnected once. My old Panasonic blu-ray player NEVER dropped the connection; instead it would pause and pop a screen saying it could not continue in HD and if the movie could continue in standard resolution. Furthermore, it seldom popped that screen.

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

Hi there,You can definitely play Netflix without upgrade. Haven't tried the Amazon Prime video though. To upgrade it, you will have to download the new firmware at the Tronsmart official website (http://www.tronsmart.com/download - you can find instruction on how to do that here as well).Hope that helps.

You can now watch Amazon Prime Videos through Amazons app. Download there app and navigate to a prime instant video. It will then prompt you to download their player. Streams fine, but cannot download the videos like you can on a fire tablet.

No. Netflix & Vudu for online services. (Also, I may be wrong if Amazon prime will load movies into your Vudu account).

If you have subscription to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu or other streaming sources, these players can connect and display the stream on your TV. You can also browse YouTube for free, and some other sources, such as the weather channel or some news streams.When I received mine, it was not ready to stream from Amazon as advertised (said the feather was coming soon, with no date). I returned mine and purchased a Samsung DVD with wi-fi. Works great.

NO, contrary to the answers here, this player does NOT play Amazon Prime videos. There is NO Amazon Prime application in the Samsung App store. I've updated the firmware as new as it can be and still no Amazon Prime. That is one of the primary reasons I chose this player, so it looks like I got suckered into this purchase. Yea for me.

You can stream with this player so I don't see why you could not stream amazon prime.

I just looked and I only saw access to Netflix, YouTube, two others, but not Amazon Prime. Also, when playing back on this unit I get hiccups or pauses during playback. It is very irritating. I do not recommend this recorder.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

Thanks, Carol. I have no idea what "prime instant video" is! Living waaaay out in the country does not allow for access to any type of streaming what-so-ever. Only purchased the unit because old DVD player died. Sorry I could not be of help. Mike

Yes, I watch Amazon Prime on my Sony Blu-ray. It has Amazon Instant Video right there on the home screen, along with Netflix and others. When you enter the Amazon Instant Video app, it has a separate category for Amazon Prime videos, which is very handy. For non-prime videos, you can either rent them or buy them. It also has a play list that you can add videos to, to keep track of what you want to watch next. I like it!

Yes, it has the amazon Prime app for streaming videos. There is a button on the remote for that.
