I have a Sony Smart TV as well as an Apple TV connected to it. Till yesterday, Prime Video worked pretty well in both. Yesterday morning onwards, Prime Video is stuck on the loading screen in both devices. I uninstalled Prime Video from Apple TV and reinstalled it. Once reinstalled, Prime Video goes to the login screen, but is not able to fetch a QR code or a login code. Other OTT channels such as Apple TV, Netflix , Jio Cinema and Hotstar seems to work just fine. Have rebooted routers, connected via LAN and tried emptying cache. Incidentally Prime Video works perfectly on iPhone. Any help to get this working would be much appreciated

Cheers
I have the exact same setup. And for the last 6-8 months, Prime has always shown some error or the other when i clicked on the app. It’s not quite the same error you are facing, but the app shows some error in various languages when you start the app. I called Apple customer care, amazon customer care, nothing worked, even sent some screen shots etc. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app numerous times.

However, off late it seems to have been sorted by amazon prime and now the app does startup normally. There are occasional issues, but closing the app and restarting it works.

So in essence there is some issue with the prime app when it comes to the apple tv OS, works perfectly fine on my iPhone.

Re: Apple TV

During the Black Friday deals, I picked up our second Apple TV 4K to go with the "Formovie Theater" (Our Home Theater) set-up.

The Formovie without Apple TV connected is surreal so hoping the Apple magic will make it even more magical.

Re: Apple TV

Got Apple TV 4K a week ago. Not an apple fan, nor I prefer to use iPhone or iPad - but I must say I am blown away by its performance & ease of use. Connected to Sony 55 incher with Sony A9. Getting Atmos / 5.1 in almost all apps including YouTube with brilliant video reproduction. Also, it upscales frame rates to match the display.

Best streaming device in India. Haven't used nVidia Shield Pro yet.

Re: Apple TV

I have a 10 year old Toshiba TV connected to my Apple TV 4K. I havent found a reason to update the TV as the picture quality is really good and the Apple TV takes care of having a seamless and responsive experience. However, I was not satisfied with the quality of the sound from the TV and though I have a low end soundbar with subwoofer that provides good sound, it was a pain to operate with its own remote etc. So, I invested in a couple of HomePod minis to pair with the Apple TV and I am just blown away by the quality of the sound. It is much richer than the TV obviously, but even when compared to my Google Home speaker that is much larger in size, the mini holds it own. I got these for around 6K each (lightly used) and its worth every rupee. At some time I do want to go for a full sized HomePod but that will probably be in a couple of years more

Re: Apple TV

In respect to sound - I have experienced weaker bass in subwoofer than windows 10 - especially on Netflix - they have no equaliser to tweak it though. Even with max bass on sub, it remains weak.

Re: Apple TV

Need help with playing/streaming MKV/MP4 files from Windows 10 PC to Apple TV. Tried doing that with VLC local IP network - file upload fails in between & playing stopped at 20 minutes.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Re: Apple TV

Picked up a replacement remote for the apple tv 4k, the earlier one stopped working all of a sudden, it was abused a lot though, the remote for the earlier HD model is still going strong, smooth activation process as always.
