I mean it couldn't get any worse, could it? It's so difficult already to find anything that's "free" for Prime subscribers without using a third party site.

It's a workaround, but you could use Just Watch.
https://www.justwatch.com/us/provide...amazon-channel
Toggle between Movies/TV/All and filter if you want.
Once you find something, click through until you get to the Amazon page, and add to your watchlist.

There is a tab on the Prime video app called Free to watch and it includes Prime originals and Freevee.

Well now I'm curious.
Edit: Wow. They took it straight back to the 2010 Roku Netflix App.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Anyone got a suggestion of how I can get Amazon to play my 4K movies to play in UHD?
they’ll play in UHD on other apps if they’re MA but I have a few non-MA Amazon movies that only play in HD. I doesn’t work either on my TV app or roku app
Solutions via google searches have not helped.

That’s not how it works. It’s completely contingent on Amazon carrying the movie in UHD. If they don’t offer it in UHD, then you can’t see it in UHD on Amazon. Doesn’t matter if you have it on MA in UHD.

says it’s in UHD on the home screen but it refuses to play anything above HD
I guess I’ll stick to watching them in HD until Amazon gets their act together or Paramount, MGM etc finally joins MA

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
Ah, okay. Your post did not mention you purchased it from Amazon in UHD. Weird issue, I’ve never heard about that before. Maybe tied to the new crappy UI layout.
And after all of these years, there’s zero hint those studios will ever join MA.

Re: The Amazon Prime Streaming Thread
I hate this UI. They list all the movies in a straight line which makes it impossible to browse. I’ve got thousands of movies in my library. It would take me over an hour to scroll through the whole list.

I don't know who designed Amazon's and Vudu's redesign, but it's terrible only being able to view one row at time.

On our Roku, I've been able to have continuous FF/RW by one of these methods but not both. I don't remember if it was holding the Left/Right Arrow keys or the FF/RW buttons. The other method produced what you stated, just a 10 second jump.

I guess maybe because I have a Firestick? Beats me, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
