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.

Hi WynQat,

This is a user-to-user forum, there is no official LG support here only other users who will try to help with any issues raised.

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.

      New Reality Competition Series Introduces a Smarter Home Lifestyle With
      LG Electronics, the Most Reliable Line of Home Appliances in the United States

      SEOUL, August 13, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to launch its episodic original series, Estate of Survival, on Prime Video via Prime Video Direct in nine countries, including the U.S., Canada, Argentina and Chile1 as well as LG Channels.
      This brand-new series, which features six exciting episodes, follows the residents of the Estate of Survival mansion as they compete against each other in a variety of challenging missions. By completing these missions, contestants earn home appliances and other items to furnish the spacious abode and, just as importantly, avoid elimination. The last resident standing wins the Estate of Survival ultimate prize: USD $100,000.
      In Estate of Survival, contestants compete to acquire household goods, including LG ThinQ-enabled appliances. LG’s appliances are designed to provide exceptional customer experiences and deliver the next-level convenience of the company’s smart lifestyle vision – the Zero Labor Home. Trusted by consumers worldwide, LG has been named the most reliable appliance brand in the U.S. by a leading consumer publication.2
      “An engaging and highly-entertaining new reality competition show with a unique premise, Estate of Survival is the ideal platform for showcasing the latest lifestyle innovations from LG, America’s most reliable line of home appliances,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
      The new series will introduce viewers to a wide range of sophisticated LG home appliances, including the InstaView refrigerator with LG’s exclusive Craft Ice (slow -melting, round ice), the wall oven and induction cooktop range featuring the Scan-to-Cook function, the Smart Top Control Dishwasher with 1-Hour Wash & Dry, QuadWash® Pro, TrueSteam® and Dynamic Heat Dry, the CordZero stick vacuum and the PuriCare air purifier.
      Once appliances are installed, contestants enjoy a multitude of time-saving benefits, from washing and drying a load of laundry in under two hours with the LG WashCombo All-in-One laundry solution, to faster cooking and clean up with LG ovens’ Scan-to-Cook and EasyClean features. Scan-to-Cook allows users to send the optimal cooking settings for select frozen meals straight to the oven simply by scanning the barcode on the product packaging.
      Always seeking new ways to make the home appliance customer experience even better, LG developed ThinQ Care, which provides helpful alerts to prevent incorrect appliance usage and smart diagnosis to reduce the need for costly and inconvenient service technician visits.
      The first two episodes of Estate of Survival will arrive on Prime Video via Prime Video Direct in the U.S. on August 12 and in several other countries soon after. LG TV owners will be able to enjoy the series for free on-demand via LG Channels – the company’s free, premium streaming service – in more than 9 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia.3
      The series will also stream on LG Channels Showcase (Channel #999), LG’s first curated channel featuring fan-favorite movies and LG exclusives. Two episodes will premiere back-to-back weekly on Monday nights, starting Monday, August 12 at 8pm EST.

      1 Estate of Survival is set to launch on Prime Video in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru and the U.S.
      2 Consumer Reports evaluates the reliability of home appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, washing machines and dryers, based on the failure rate of approximately 528,800 appliances over a five-year period. LG Electronics received the highest score among all manufacturers producing all eight products under evaluation, from 2012 to 2022 in “the most reliable appliances brand”.
      3 Estate of Survival will be available to watch on LG Channels in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Peru and the U.S.

      Youtube only lets you type numbers, and not letters. Amazon doesn't let you type anything unless you use the really really really slow onscreen keyboard. It's ruining the tv experience. Can't search for topics or shows without the slow drugery of the slow remote and onscreen keyboard.
       
      Is something ms configured or is WebOs really this awful?

      Thanks,
      Sriram.

      Hi Team,
      After update of LG WebOS to 04.40.70, Amazon Prime Video app on my LG Smart TV stopped working. It started giving error :
      Internet Connectivity Problem
      There is an internet connection problem. Check the device's internet settings, data cables, or try to resetting your router. Also, turning your device off, and then back on might fix the problem. For further assistance, please contact Amazon customer service at www.amazon.com/videohelp
      The internet/wifi connection is fine and all the other apps are working without any issue on the LG smart TV.
      I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Prime video app, but that didn't help.
      Has anyone faced this issue ? Is there a solution available for this issue.
      Thanks & Regards,
      Nitin
