Just recently, the Amazon video app is no longer working on our smart TVs, and only intermittently works on the smart blu-ray players. They were all working fine last week. If the app starts at all, it poops out, buffers interminably or gives us an Internet connection error. We discovered that Netflix, YouTube, HBO, and all the other video apps work flawlessly across all of our platforms and our Internet connection speed is still around 150 Mbps. I did some Googling and noticed that a lot of people all across the country on a lot of different platforms are having the same problem: https://isdownrightnow.net/status/amazon-prime/
Has this happened to you, and have you found a fix?

Nope, watching the Grand Tour now and no problems on the blu ray. Also no problem earlier for the children on the Wii.

It's working for me on my Samsung smart TV.
When I bought this TV last weekend, the Amazon Video app didn't work on the first day I had the TV, but it worked on the second day and ever since.

Every so often I get the purple screen of death with the Roku. Usually, if I leave it alone long enough (switch to Netflix or something) I come back and it works fine.
That's the only issue I've had and it only happens with Amazon.

Mine has been doing that a lot lately, it is about 5-6 years old now (2xs). I was thinking about a Kodi box to replace it.

Have you tried turning it off then turning it back on again?

I looked it up and it says that it's got something to do with either the HDMI cable being out of wack or some copy right security thing being unsure that your not stealing stuff.
Since everything works on other apps, I'm pretty sure the HDMI cable is fine, so I'm guessing it's the other problem and I just chalk that up to normal stupid computers being stupid. I figure if it starts happening more often I'll call Amazon and bitch like there is no tomorrow.
