All we need now id for the app to be Chromecast-enabled .......

But somehow I think that will be a long wait.

We need it on Roku.

Yes it's been available since Tuesday.

I posted in the wrong thread/forum.

Imanaged to get it downloaded, both apps, but it won't play on my Nexus 4, says 'unknown error'.

Anyone else getting it to work?

from what i can gather its a bit complicated to install, is it avaliable on nexus 7.

I'm pretty sure it's avalable on a nexus 7.

I've sorted the problem out. Even though it shows i'm logged into my account i have to get the menu bar on the left out and then scroll down and change my country to the UK, video then streams fine.

Thought i'd post this in case anyone else is having problems with 'unknown error'

I reinstalled Amazon app (on Hudl) then had to find instant video player on Amazon site and install that. Works fine now. This is what we needed from Amazon.Lets hope more devices become available soon.

It is simple to install on the Nexus 7(2013).

Install the Amazon Instant Video app from the Amazon App Store and uninstall re-install the Amazon app.

Well I've been able to get it working on my galaxy tab pro 10.1. I'll have another go on my OH's note 3.
