Has Amazon Prime ever worked for you?

What version is installed?

Have you moved geographical locations (this one crops up more than you would think)?

Yes, it has worked previously, up to a point. I have not moved geographically. I don't know which version, but it's the one that was updated a few weeks ago. It actually worked right after the update, but after navigated away from the app and pressed the Prime Video button again, I received the same error message.

I managed to get the app working eventually. I now have an issue with DNS via Unlocator. When switching to Amazon Prime, I receive the "Network problems.." message. I have to go to DNS setting, change to auto DNS, switch off and on, then go back to settings, change to Unlocator DNS and then it will connect! Why is this?

Why it happens I could not say, but many people have similar DNS issues with licence agreements. 

Really irritating!

I don’t have an answer but l do have a related problem.

I directed my problem to Amazon Prime a couple of weeks ago but still don’t have an answer.  It seems to occur only with HDR 4K eg Dolby Vision, UHD, The program starts to play ok but at some point  the video freezes but the audio continues. If you restart the program starts again and continues for a while and then the problem starts again. Eventually the app crashes.

I too am on a LAN connection with 80 + Mbps speed  VERY ANNOYING.

Maybe some good news for Amazon Prime video problems.

Try rebooting both your Modem and TV. I turned them both off for 30 secs and when I restarted lo and behold all my problems with streaming were gone.

 

 I should clarify  my TV is a Smart TV with Prime Video as an onboard app  if you stream using and external device (eg Apple TV)  you might try rebooting that device also.

That's because this is a user-to-user forum, LG has no official involvement on the forum.

      Prime Video unable to update/install on LG TV OLED65G36LA WebOs 8.20.0-710
      By Juicycarrot
      Hi there,
       
      I have an LG smart TV OLED65G36LA (LG OS v03.20.17, webOS TV version 8.20.0-710) , and the Prime Video App was no longer able to update (from Dec 2025) and therefore could no longer be used.
      I have tried uninstalling the app and re-installing, and that was unable to work, so then applied a full reset on the LG TV and so had to reinstall all of my other apps (Apple TV, Netflix, etc etc) which all successfully downloaded so confirmed network connections and setup are all confirmed working.
      When I try to download the Prime Video app, it remains stuck on the download screen and is unable to update.
      Thanks

      [HELP NEEDED] Can someone please provide the last amazon.ipk (prime video)?
      By Ricasan
      Hello there!
      Recently the prime video app started to require the update to open, and now i am having a problem, because this app update REQUIRES to a system update of firmware (to webos24),
      but it will make impossible to homebrew later.
      So, can someone at least provide the last or update ipk of amazon (amazon.ipk), so i can install manually?
      Thanks!

      LG Signs Wi-Fi Standard Essential Patent License Agreement With Amazon
      By News Reporter
      Agreement Highlights Company’s Global Leadership in Wi-Fi Standard Technologies

      SEOUL, Nov. 20, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has signed a patent license agreement with Amazon, granting the use of LG’s Wi-Fi Standard Essential Patents (SEPs).
      Under this agreement, Amazon obtains a license to use LG’s Wi-Fi SEPs in products utilizing Wi-Fi connectivity, including Amazon’s Echo devices, Fire TV Sticks and Fire Tablets.
      LG is currently engaged in Wi-Fi SEP licensing discussions with several global companies that employ Wi-Fi standard technologies. The agreement with Amazon further underscores LG’s technological leadership and credibility in the global Wi-Fi standards domain.
      SEPs refer to core patents that must be practiced when implementing an international technical standard – meaning any product using that standard inevitably relies on the patented technology.  Once a technology is adopted as an international standard by global standardization organizations, companies around the world incorporate it into their products. Recognition as an SEP signifies both the contribution to advancing the entire industry and its technological value.
      LG holds one of the world’s strongest patent portfolios in key standard technology fields, including mobile communications, Wi-Fi, broadcasting and codecs. As of the first half of this year, LG owned 97,880 registered patents globally, about half of which are standard-related patents.* The company’s innovative patented technologies, applied across flagship products such as OLED TVs, washing machines and refrigerators, continue to reinforce its global competitiveness.
      Looking ahead, LG aims to further strengthen its patent leadership in emerging technology areas such as 6G mobile communications, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. In its vehicle solutions business, LG has also been recognized for leadership in augmented reality (AR) technologies, earning top honors for its pioneering AR navigation patent.
      Since 2022, LG has formally included the licensing of patents and other intellectual property rights in its corporate charter – accelerating efforts to build sustainable value through IP-driven innovation.
      “This agreement reaffirms LG’s global leadership in Wi-Fi standard technologies,” said Cho Hwi-jae, head of LG’s Intellectual Property Center. “We will continue to drive innovation worldwide by building on our industry-leading patent competitiveness.”

      * According to LG Electronics’ 2025 semiannual report, the company holds 26,762 domestic patents and 71,118 overseas patents. (Source:  link hidden, please login to view).
