    Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.

      They just whitelist few of the “supported”, operating systems. The message says what your OS is because it blindly read that from the UA.

      This must be a while back, because it works fine here.

      A few months ago they had a bug that prevented playback on Linux. But that was resolved after a week or so.

      Same with Amazon Videos.

      AFTER I PAID it told me my os does not support hd quality Playback.

      With kodi and a plugin I got it working to run at 1080p

      Saved it with OBS out of spite.

      Changing the user agent unfortunately didn’t work.

        You did? I also tried that, but the best resolution I got was 540p… As far as my research went that was because they require a higher widevine level not available on linux for HD

          Install kodi and then the vod-Amazon plugin.

          Then you have at least 1080 if higher res is possible idk.
