Blu-ray player and Amazon Video

[DrD]

We have a Panasonic Blu-ray player.  Dot signed up for Amazon Prime last year.  We recently realized that she gets Amazon Video as part of the deal (it only took us a few months to realize that   ) .  Anyway, the instructions for the Amazon Video tell me to go to the apps part of the player, look for Amazon Video and bring it up.  After that, a code will appear, etc.  

Problem:  There is no Amazon Video app on the player.  The Amazon Video site is useless for advice on what to do.

What am I missing?  Is this limited to certain Panasonic players?  Or am I just overlooking something?

BTW, Google isn't much help.  If 'Amazon' is in the search, then the first 100 links are to amazon.com.

Each device mfgr chooses which apps they put into which device. Amazon Prime video is pretty slim in support outside of Fire TV or using your computer browser (feeding it to the TV via WiFi or cable).

Some set top boxes are adding it, but whether or not your smart TV, blue ray player, etc. has it is something that you'll need to check at the mfgr's site for that device.

Check for downloadable updates for your player.

This may be of no help

Wife is also a Prime member, well never used it for a while until we bought a BlueRay player from Costco (sony something about $68 I think)
well it had the amazon app (and a whole lot more apps) put in the code and been using it for about 3 years now.

In short I have no idea how to add an app to your player but for a lot less than $100 you can get another player with it.

What Bounce said. You'll have to wait to see if it gets added in an update or buy another box.

For the record, we watch it on Roku.

I have a Panasonic Blu-ray player DMP-BDT220. After plugging in the cat5, turning it on, and selecting the network option a firmware update was needed. The latest is v1.63. After this selecting the network brings up the apps screen. From Amazon the only option is Amazon instant video. Prime is not offered for the Panasonic viera network. Hope this is helpful.

Even the Kindle Fire TV buries the FREE (Prime) video under several clicks to get to the option. Search for a title, select the title, look at the prices (instant, DVD or OTHER). Under OTHER is where the free Prime option is there for those titles that offer it.

They're trying to drive casual, careless, and clueless to pay for something they might already have available for free.

One other thought, did you go to your amazon.com account and register your player. It looks like amazon's recent update of the instant video app has added Prime.

I bought a Samsung BluRay player a couple of months ago and stream videos from Amazon Prime with it.  Took awhile to get everything set up with my wireless hub and Amazon Video takes a little bit of time to load but the service works.  Tons of stuff available free with my Prime Account  and some decent programming that I don't see on my Comcast cable TV connection.
