Offwego Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I've gone to Aptoide TV app on all apps and selected the Amazon Prime app to install. It appears to work, you login and select the show you wish to watch and then when I try and play it Fails? I believe it's a compatibility issue with regards to either Android or Amazon Prime versions. But can't seem to figure it out. Tried a few different versiona on Aptoide Amazon prime version with no luck, same issue. Any suggestion I'm running Andoid version 9. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The version of Amazon Prime from the Play Store will work no problem. The one from Aptoide I think is locked to only work on Android TV Looks like someone just ripped it from the Nvidia Shield and uploaded it to Aptoide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJesus Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 One question regarding Amazon Prime on the XRS-4500 box. I should be able to select a 4K show/video from Prime and see it in 4K correct? Of course the TV has to support 4K and mine does. Just want to make sure that there are no such limitations from using the apps from the box etc?

Amazon Prime Video 4K only works on certified devices Were not certified for 4K on Amazon Prime Video So that is why you cannot get it in 4K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can use the LG TVs built in app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny121pt Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My opinion is pretty much use official apps just use on devices that designed for it, i.e brands like Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Smart TVS i.e Lg, Samsung etc where its 4k resolution, no air mouse and official on a TV based OS, not an Android based around Mobile/Tablet. why anyone wants to watch Netflix in 480p using an air mouse is beyond me tbh lol Example Hdmi 1 - Buzz TV XRS4000/XRS4500 - main viewing box iptv, vod apps etc Hdmi 2 - 4k stick (cheap) - official apps etc Best of both worlds then, unfortunately there is no all in one box lol Keep Buzz TV boxes for our main purpose - IPTV, few third party apps, jobs a good un But as above Prime works from Google Play, Netflix works but as above is 480p (airmouse) so as users we have the option if we want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
