Watching Amazon Prime video HD on ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I think it has been known for a good while that Amazon Prime Video is SD only on system running anything other than Windows and MAC: https://www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=GUX9FYHU5D8LC9EJ

Is there a way to work around this limit? It'd be a shame having to use a virtual machine running Windows (if it even works) to just watch Prime video.

  1. According to this forum, the following solution might work:

    1) Install winehq-staging

    2) Install Edge-dev: see this

    3) Run Edge:

    wine 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe'

    4) Log in to amazon prime video using your newly installed MS Edge browser and HD could work

    Let me know if this works....
