  • <h6>There's actually a reason I asked the question. There's some similar (very few) questions available in SO but none was answered ever (there's few answers also but they are completely useless in 2022, perhaps worked perfectly back then)</h6>
  • **Solution** : Choose link correctly. Amazon prime can't access amazon.com/....... but they can access only https://app.primevideo.com/detail?.....
  • the question is how to find those links? Follow the following steps :
  • 1. Visit Amazon Prime
  • 2. Select a movie/series
  • 3. Click on share button.
  • 4. Click on copy URL (which appears after clicking on the share button).
  • The URL is available in your clipboard is the correct link. (I can't really test for Disney or hotstar cause they are unavailable in my country also, VPN doesn't help at all, I don't know why. In question, I added cause my client tested it didn't work for him).

  • The short answer : link.
  • The medium answer : All the problems available are behind the link. Looking at which link send to those apps was useless cause when I looked at those URL, (giving example of Amazon prime) Prime video says supported links are :
  • 1. amazon.de
  • 2. app.primevideo.com
  • 3. watch.amazon.de
  • 4. amazon.co.jp
  • 5. amazon.co.uk
  • 6. watch.amazon.co.jp
  • 7. watch.amazon.co.jp
  • 8. amazon.com
  • 9. watch.amazon.com.
  • For me, only app.primevideo.com worked. Others were useless. I don't know why (According to code they should work but in reality something else happened).

  • It worked perfectly for me in Android 12. But it didn't work for my client whose Android version is : 7 and 9

the question is how to find those links? Follow the following steps :

1. Visit Amazon Prime
2. Select a movie/series
3. Click on share button.
4. Click on copy URL (which appears after clicking on the share button).

The URL is available in your clipboard is the correct link. (I can't really test for Disney or hotstar cause they are unavailable in my country also, VPN doesn't help at all, I don't know why. In question, I added cause my client tested it didn't work for him).

The short answer : link.

The medium answer : All the problems available are behind the link. Looking at which link send to those apps was useless cause when I looked at those URL, (giving example of Amazon prime) Prime video says supported links are :

1. amazon.de
2. app.primevideo.com
3. watch.amazon.de
4. amazon.co.jp
5. amazon.co.uk
6. watch.amazon.co.jp
7. watch.amazon.co.jp
8. amazon.com
9. watch.amazon.com.

For me, only app.primevideo.com worked. Others were useless. I don't know why (According to code they should work but in reality something else happened).
