Amazon Instant Video

Last night I was quite disapointed when I thought I would boot up my Amazon Prime video and discovered it wouldn't stream through Chrome.

It said incompatible format.

Does anyone know of a work around?

So Chrome on computer browser, would not stream or when you tried to cast you got the error?

Yes, install Dolphin Browser and Flash. It works.

Sorry folks. It doesn't work on Chrome browser for PC. Windows 8 to be specific.

Interesting. I am casting it just fine right now using Chrome browser and Windows 8...

I cannot do it either. I am on Windows 7. The Amazon Video will cast fine inside the browser windows but on the TV the video area is black. I think Amazon video is streamed using Silverlight player and chromecast tab casting does not support silverlight yet.

I just received my Chromecast this afternoon and played around with Amazon Instant Video for a bit. I had no problem casting The Dome, but when I tried to Cast Family Ties, it wouldn't cast. I suspect that different videos from Amazon play in different plugins.

Try uninstalling Silverlight and then when you reopen Amazon Prime, choose the option to use Flash instead.
