Amazon Prime Video

Sad Professor

My understanding was that Amazon Prime Video Ireland won't work on the Firestick, only UK Prime.

If you get the fire tv stick in UK it won't work. If you buy the tv stick basic from amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/Fire-TV-Stick-Basic-Edition/dp/B01ETRGE68) it apparently will work.

This is a nonsensical situation from Amazon, but there you go...

You can use the same workaround Amazon have set up to get YouTube. Download the Silk or Firefox web browser app and set the primevideo url as bookmark. I use Silk and it works fine for me.

i have a uk firestick, bought on amazon.co.uk and shipped via parcel motel

i have access to a uk amazon prime account

it will not play all videos. i wanted to watch the grand tour for example, it wouldn't play, so i didn't bother trying any more

Im getting the geoblock error on my firestick but my workaroud is to play from the primevideo app on my phone and the button to cast to firestick works grand

Okay, nows the time to remind posters yet again that there’s absolutely no discussing circumventing regional restrictions here

There is a fine line between resolving configuration/account issues, going around platform limitation or actually trying to block geolocation.

For instance, if content from one provider plays fine from multiple browsers and devices from same location, but on one device it fails, it is not geoblocking that is an issue.

Sorry, my workaround is genuinely with the irish edition subscription of primevideo to cast to a fire tv on normal default Irish DNS, apoloigies if this wasn't clear.

Ill also have to remind posters that there’s absolutely no on thread discussion of moderation, either

Has anyone had their Fire setup break in past few weeks? Mine has worked for past year, but recently has stopped playing anything now. Amazon just telling me Fire not supported in Ireland.

Working fine for me, what prime account are you using on your device? As in, which country. And which country is the fire set to?

As amazon don’t sell the fire devices here, they’re a bit fiddly.

All UK.

Country? So UK prime account with US country? Will try later.

Bit of a pain the Fear the walking dead only has two seasons, says third season not available in your region

Anyone have any luck sharing prime video with someone else. I setup a household account with my partner but prime video is not sharing
