I found a way to watch Amazon prime contents on this device.

It can't be done through the Amazon app as we all know now, if nothing has changed since the last time I tried, but it can be done through Kodi. All you need is

Kodi 18 Leila (I used the latest Nightly)
Amazon addon by Sandmann79 (it can be installed through this repo https://github.com/Sandmann79/xbmc/r...gins-1.0.2.zip)

Once finished installing, open the Amazon video or Amazon Vod addon (depending on the country you live in), and configure it by entering your email, password and the secret code that will be sent to your email account. Then it will automatically install some add-ons upon which it depends and ask you to enable Inputstream. Don't forget to select "playback with Input stream" during the configuration.
There can be still issues with the subtitles, otherwise the add-on works like a charm... I tried HD stream so far, I haven't tried full HD yet.

EDIT: Well, not like a charm, but it works

This isn't working for me using Kodi v17.6. It has no sound and just garble picture and is using 720p

This trick has worked on my LB box as well. I have used Kodi's latest alpha build 2 (18 Leia alpha 2) with Amazon VOD addon from sandman79 repo.

Amazon videos are played at 720p resolution by default (better than nothing).

Thanks again for sharing the trick, mate!

I am on latest Mecool M8S Pro L LB version with stock TV Rom.

I have weird problem in Youtube for Android App (default one that comes with stock rom). After playing the video for few seconds (say 20 sec), the app hangs with black screen no audio/video. I have updated the app to the latest one but still the problem persists. If I use, Youtube addon via kodi then there are no such issues.

I like the use of voice remote to search for content in default Youtube for Android TV app, hence would love to use it over Kodi's where i have to type everything.

Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Cheers!

You're welcome. Actually videostream can go up to full hd (you can also choose the bitrate). You just need to select the manual stream feature in the settings menu. Only stereo audio will be available though.

I can't tell about the hdd attached to the router, but I'm sure you'll need a usb hub if you want to attach it to the box.
I don't think Android tv has a bulit in Smb server (take my words with a pinch of salt) but you can sideload Samba filesharing for Android.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but once you hook up the hdd to the box you won't be able to write or delete data on it with a file manager, because Android tv doesn't allow write access to external drives. Therefore, every app can only access to the folder it creates on the hdd.
To avoid that, you can install a custom rom.

I am having issues with youtube. Even tried uninstalling it but everytime I try my system reboots and the darn thing is still there.

Wanted to uninstall and install the previous version. Even selecting uninstall updates forces a system reboot.
