Doesn't work with Projectivy channels or recents, but Plex does and HBO does and YouTube does and Disney does and Streamio does. Regarding the Amazon experience. You're only given three seconds to decide whether or not you want to watch the end credits. Before you're thrown into the next thing. Not enough time to like or dislike what you just watched. And there's no option to disable or change the time it takes before auto playing the next selection. The layout is cluttered, Amazon's tab is full of other stuff that's not even Amazon.

Video playback is decent, but none of the controls work. Can't pause, fast forward, rewind, etc. The only way to stop playback is to click the home button and exit the app entirely, which of course loses the playback location. So, when you re-open the app, the video you were just watching starts back from the very beginning. Very disappointing. Every other Android TV app works just fine - Netflix, Hulu, etc.

It was working fine up until this week on my Chromecast with Google TV. For whatever reason, it now doesn't want to load videos unless I reboot the device first, and then it only works until I exit and open another app on the device. Once another app is opened, a reboot of the device is needed again to get it to work. And, it seems to take forever to actually load the video before it starts, when it does work. Not sure what changed, but it's not good.

I can kinda look past it's horrible interface and it's buggyness, what I can't get past is the fact that it always streams in 720p with a very low bitrate on my 4k tv(!) and 1gbps internet connection. I've resorted to just using the chromecast in the android app, because even with more hoops to jump through, at least I don't have to use this horrible, horrible app anymore. You're amazon, you have more money than multiple countries combined, make a decent app.

Same problem as Jeff Hackman. The new version is unable to start streaming. I spend hours with Sony support, doing factory reset with no avail. I have attempted both wired and Wifi and this version will not run. However, when I connect via Wifi to Hotspot setup from my iPhone, streaming will work. I have also tapped into my neighbor's WIFI (AT&T) and it works fine. This tells me that the application probably does some network check and fails. However, any sensible software would print an error code to debug further. This application simply says "Something went wrong" with no other error code.
