Will it stream amazon instant videos? If so, how do I get that set up?

Agree w/ comments below. Buy a current model. I picked up a Sony after my Samsung crashed for about $105

I own the BD-P1600 it only streams Netflix, Youtube, Blockbuster, & Pandora it does not appear to have an app for Amazon streaming, so my answer is No, but perhaps the 2012 & 2013 Samsung models do, also you'll need to buy a pricey Samsung adapter to get this model to go wireless. I recommend buying different model with wifi built in to avoid extra cost & hassles if you continue searching through models you should come across another player with the streaming options of your choice good luck happy shopping :)

i have replaced mine because of blue-ray issues...however I think you can only stream netflix and pandora from this blue ray player

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

yes you can stream Amazon, Net Flix, Hulu +, and most other services that provide streaming videos. It is a great player and well worth the money especially with foreign made DVD's

I have found the same problem, after 8 hours of samsung UN46D7000 tv vs amazon instant video! At least I can stop pulling out my hair trying to make it work. Ya think they could just send the frickn' app the tv with all the other crap on there we will never use.

Yes, it does have Amazon instant video app installed into TV. Personally I found the OS on the TV to be to slow to use enjoyably and just bought one of the Amazon sticks which works great.

I have not succeeded in setting up Amazon Video directly on this set. Instead, I set up Amazon Video on my connected TIVO. Also, some modern BluRay players, and other streaming devices like ROKU can access Amazon Video. Sorry if this is not much help.

I bought the 8600 and connected a Roku 2 to get Amazon Instant Video. The combination works great. Netflix seems to stream more reliably through the Roku too.

You can do hulu, vudu, netflix, pandora, cinema now, youtube, flingo, and rhapsody. You can also do social media (twitter, flickr and facebook.) I do not see Amazon instant video as an option.

Not without help. You will need a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or an Xbox that has the Amazon Prime app on it. You plug the device into the HDMI port of the TV and then you can watch Amazon Instant Videos.

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.

You would have to side load it like you do on a rooted phone. Do a Google search for Amazon instant video apk for android then download it. Go to the downloads folder and install. I'm sure it will work Samsung did a great job on leaving it like an open source platform. I can't say for sure cause I don't use amazon prime but I'm willing to bet it can be done I went thru 3 apks for hulu before I found one I liked but all did work. Hope I helped

This player does support Amazon Prime Instant Video. It is included in the menu of services the player can utilize.

The app does not work. Instead you watch Amazon Instant Videos in the Web Browser. That works fine. At least for me.

Yes. But I have experienced some choppiness and stalling on Amazon Instant Video, so I opted for VUDU which works with no issues.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.
