Which firmware (if any) fixes the Amazon Prime bug? Anyone know?

Hi all,

I've found that Amazon Prime doesn't play on my Himedia Q5 Pro box.

I've spoken to Amazon and they say that my media player isn't compatible.

I thought I would try upgrading the firmware to see if that helps but there's two available that I can see...
Android 7 - firmware 2.0.7
Android 5.1 - firmware 1.1.0

I'm not sure what Android version my Q5 is running (I bought it around April 2017).

And I wondered if either of these new firmware's solves the problem of Amazon Prime not playing movies?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

:-)

So, are you saying that there's no way of watching Amazon Prime on my current Himedia Q5 Pro box??

Because Amazon don't support Android?

I really hope that's not the case

Android box TV are not Android mobile so is true Amazon mobile apps doesn't supported read logcat and will see.

If you want try install a CFW v2.0.4/2.0.5/2.0.6(I don't remember if can use OFW) and temporally remove television hardware feature from /system/etc/permissions/tablet_core_hardware.xml will get Amazon prime play on SD. For play HD with Amazon mobile apps need DRM playready and a licensed device.

Are already some topic about android.hardware.type.television on this forum.
