So I uninstalled the apps I got through the apk on that site posted, made sure they are all gone.
I went and did as keeska said and searched in the amazon app store and clicked on the one that didn't say tablet. It mentioned in the description prime videos so I installed it. I also installed right away the instant player from the amazon app store and then I finally had a play button and it works now this way. I swear I tried that earlier, but considering how confused I was at the time, there is no saying where I went wrong.
I added the instant player app icon on the home page of my nexus and it goes straight to the videos through there, don't have to go through the amazon shop app.
I think for me lesson learned is not to try fiddling when I am already frustrated and confused, but to come back later and try again. Can't figure stuff out unless I do it, even if it takes me longer than the rest. |
After seeing this, I decided to do the same as you and just remove and install everything. If you try to install from Google Play, you can't install the phone version of Amazon app, but you're right - Amazon appstore lets you. I was on my phone when I first tried this - why on earth didn't the instant video app send me to the Amazon appstore to install the amazon app?!?
They really need to get their crap together. Is it that they can't imagine someone who wants instant video wouldn't already have the Amazon app installed? Why would I want to install it when I have 5 or 6 perfectly good browsers on my devices that work much better than that app?
