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.

That’s more to do with the version of WideVine DRM your browser has - the DRM in Firefox is neutered so the chrome will always give the best experience. Why? Because the WideVine DRM is owned by Google.

Because you didn’t read the technical specs of that service before you purchased it. The information was there and you ignored it. Why do people buy things based on assumptions?

Here is the info you should have read before you bought. They have a page dedicated to this exact topic:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW

Of course I like every other human that uses any Service in the internet read the whole Terms and conditions when I signed up and everytime they changed.

I am pretty sure it is illegal in my country to not disclaim such information before you purchase. And it should not be legal anywhere!

Oh yes, trusty GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW, one of my favourite amazon pages. There’s something just so playful about the page name that every time I think of GUVGB3QMQRYRERYW, I just have to smile. Unlike GUVGB3QNQRYRERYW, that page sucks ass!
