Amazon Video Stopped working today
It worked fine yesterday! Running Firefox on Slacko 5.5. I updated to the newest version of FF v. 41.0.2 but still no good. Anyone else with the same issue?

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

^^^^^^Might as well and make sure to join the html5 group there also ^^
It should say your browser is html5 supported also.

Thanks rokytnji but according to https://html5test.com/ my browser (FF 41) scores 466 out of 555. I don't think that's it. I think it has something to do with DRM.

Apparently Amazon does not support Linux FF and I couldn't get Chrome to run on Slacko 5.5. So now I'm running Chrome v 46.0. on tahrpup 6 and Amazon video works again.
By the way, this verison of chrome scores 521 out of 555 points on https://html5test.com/

Just wondering if changing the user agent will fool amazon?does not support Linux FF

Edit: Nope. Complains about activex when switching user agent to IE8.
Freaking Amazon says on linux firefox.
I'm running Firefox 41.0.2 Amazon Prime. Just linux in the user agent string is enough to kill it.Unsupported Browser
This web browser isn’t compatible with Amazon Video. Please use one of the following web browsers:
Google Chrome (latest version)
Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
Microsoft Edge
Windows Internet Explorer (version 8 or later)
Apple Safari (version 5 or later)
Opera (latest version)
Made a Windows Firefox user agent string.
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.1
Soooooo
Looks to be not true in my opinion,doesn't use separate browser plugins to show video content.
