I like the Galaxy Tab system Video App coz it has the feature to set bookmarks in a video so I don't have to search the 2 hours video in order to find the scene but can go directly to it from the bookmarks.
The Galaxy Note system app doesn't have this feature any more. I tried searching the play store but couldn't find a there a third party Video App that has this feature. Does anybody know of one?
So I just bought one and I love it. Now I want to set it up to play emulators. I downloaded this third party moga ime app and Retroarch but it's pretty hit or miss. Both the third party and the official pivot app turn on at once, occasionally make wifi screwy and setting it up to play is a huge pain. Mind you I'm not rooted, are there any emulators that support the moga without me using this third party app? Or is there a better ime app for it?
Any help will be appreciated. Btw that third party ime app is named moga universal driver.
Not sure if this belonged here on in qna
As most folks know (at least if you're an Amazon Prime member) The Amazon Instant Video App does not work with most Android Tablets (except, of course, the Kindle Fire). Well, it works fine on my new Galaxy Tab S (SM-T800) that I just purchased today. (At least I can verify that it runs on the stock ROM, build KOT49H.T800XXU1ANJ6 - Oct 24, 2014) All you have to do is download the two Apps below and install them. No other alterations are necessary and no Flash conflicts appeared. Neither of these Apps are available from the Google Play Store.
Here are the simple instructions to get Amazon Instant Video working....
1. If you have already installed the Amazon Shopping app (the one without "Amazon Instant Video" on the menu), first uninstall it. The version below has a menu that links to the the Amazon video add-on.
2. Download these two apps from "The Digital Reader" site, and install them...
Amazon Shopping
Amazon Instant Video
3. Open the Shopping app, log into your Amazon account, and then click on the menu icon in the upper left corner. Then select "Amazon Instant Video". That's all there is to it.

WORKED PERFECTLY! Thanks you so much. Just called Amazon last week about this issue after I purchased my table from Sprint. They told me it was nothing they could do. It was a Samsung issue. Then I called again they said they didnt support the GTS
Thanks very much Robin!
Works a treat here in the UK.
Is there a way to download the prime videos? On my kindle I could download 4-5 shows and watch them later. On the tab s, I can't seem to find this feature.
I thought the idea behind Prime instant video was that you stream videos for free if you're an Amazon Prime member. There doesn't seem to be a way to DL them unless you buy or rent the video. I didn't know you could do that on the Kindle.

On the Kindle certain shows can be downloaded for offline availability.
Adding offline ability would be great

Thanks!
Robin you are THE MAN!!! Worked perfectly on my retarded Fujitsu M532. The only reason ama-a-zon chooses not fix this or redo their files/apps must be because they don't want it to work for people. That sucks.
FINALLY, prime instant video on my Tab S 10.5! thanks
Just a quick note on this. I just went through it. If you have the amazon shopping app for tablets installed from the play store, you will go around in circles trying to get it to work. What clicked for me was the reference to phones only in the amazon documentation. The play store will not show the amazon shopping app for phones if you have a tablet. The key is to first uninstall the shopping app for tablets then load the amazon app store then load the shopping app for the phone and the instant video app from the amazon app store. Then it all works. I am guessing if I loaded the apks here in post 1 it would do the same.
FYI, YMMV
Sadly the app crashes on the lollipop rom. App install fine but once start playing a movie the player crash. Hopefully there will be a lollipop version out :victory:
To the OP thanks for posting the apk links
Worked on my rooted stock Tab Pro 8.4
Thanks, I have been trying to get this to work for 2 weeks. This solution worked!
Thanks much. I also have it working on a SM-T707V but can not download my purchased movies on Amazon Instant video like I can do on my Kindle Fire HD.
Anyone find a source that can do that?
I was playing them with dolphin browser and the flash apk. Worked fine. So does this app but I think quality is a bit better with flash and dolphin
If you have a rooted phone, you can just make a backup and install the amazon phone app beside the tablet app. The instant video app will then start working.
Awesome. Thanks for its tip!
You are welcome.

This works well, for those of us that don't want to remove any apps and whatnot, I simply added the amazon app from the app store, while still having the tablet one enabled and then instant video started working
Regarding the Amazon appstore itself - how to get it first
Sorry for the slightly off-topic swerve.
Brand new Galaxy Tab S 8.4 owner. I've tried installing 2 different version of the appstore apk that I have from other Android devices with no success - keep getting prompted to enter a valid email and password (which are definitely correct because they do work with regular Amazon site via Chrome). Installing the tablet shopping app from Google Play didn't give me an option for the appstore.
So -- how do I install the appstore itself? I have a bunch of purchased apps that I want to install on my Tab S so that I can retire my old semi-reliable Xyboard. This is a dealbreaker because if I can't install these apps on the Galaxy Tab, it's useless to me. Thanks for any advice.
"Slightly" off-topic?!?
This thread is about the instant video app. The shop app is anot other story.
But long story short: Get in touch with amazon support, the shop app should work without any tricks on the Tab S.
I've gotten some sideload apps, some cardboard apps from the play store, and a nice video player (360 vr). . .
And to switch between them, you have to take the phone out, launch the app, then put it back in. Wth samsung
It would be really nice to add others to the gear home library.
Or even better, a custom home launcher
Is anyone working on something like that?
There are plenty of custom launchers already available in the Play store. I use Fulldive VR, it's an Ocolus Home replacement if you like, but it gives you access to all the Cardboard VR apps installed on your phone.
