Amazon video app?

Has anyone got the amazon video app working on the Xoom yet? I can open it but when selecting a movie it simply closes (perhaps a HC/ICS issue?).
Any thoughts?

Same here. I was able to install the app and login by following this thread, but get FC when trying to play any content. Would be great to get this working on the Xoom.

Wanted to bump this hoping someone has gotten this to work in the last six months.

It's not going to work until they release an ICS/HC compatible version. The Kindle Fire is based on Gingerbread. Hopefully they put out the Kindle Fire 2 on ICS or JB and then we'll have some better luck.
If you have a GB phone or tablet, it will work on there...

[Q] Amazon Instant Video

Hello,
Has anyone tried using Amazon Instant Video in the android browser? My device is on its way back from HP and this would be useful to have. Otherwise I might sell it without rooting it and go for the Kindle Fire.

Plays just fine through most Android browsers including Dolphin HD. When I first tried months and months ago it did not seem to work, but in the last month or so I found that it plays just like it does on my notebook PC, so all is good.

I have been able to play them in Dolphin. I do have the Hulu modified flash installed. I am not sure if that is necessary for Amazon though.

It should work in the browser. There is also the app ripped from the Kindle Fire which installs fine on the Touchpad but won't play on rooted devices.

8.9 build.prop question

I've got my 8.9 KFHD rooted and installed the Google Play store.
Is there a build.prop edit that will open up the tablet to some of the incompatible apps that won't break stuff like the amazon store, or the kindle reader app?

The only workaround I've found so far is to download them on another device, copy the .apk from /data/app or /system/app and side load it. Dropbox becomes real handy for this sort of thing. Of course, not everyone has the luxury of having a second device . . .

Thanks That's what I've been doing. Thanks to a rooted Nexus 7 and a Galaxy S 3

Yes it works.
I am running this on a Motorola Xoom (Not rooted)
You do have to have the Amazon Appstore installed (i installed it prior to installing the RR app)
With the Amazon Appstore installed, I was even able to purchace a 6month subscription. The free version is limited to something like 5 books.
My 5 year old uses it about twice a week.
