Amazon Prime Video

Your spoiler didn’t work BTW.

But I’m sure I read somewhere that Amazon didn’t have the rights to show Gandalf.

Edit:

However, these rights only cover the “second age” of Middle-earth lore – a period centuries before the “third age” in which the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings stories take place. As a result, Rings of Power cannot incorporate familiar characters such as Gandalf or Bilbo Baggins.

It didn’t but I don’t know how to fix it! I guess people will see it starts with the word spoiler anyway.

Officially it started with them not having the rights to any ‘third age’ content, although that would mean no wizards at all and we certainly have at least one, so I guess with agreement they’ve either skirted around that, or it was misreported

Did you type the tags yourself? I don’t know why, but sometimes that doesn’t seem to work for some reason.

Try deleting the tags, highlighting the text, and pressing the ‘Blur spoiler’ button from the menu (found via the cog).

It needs a [/spoiler] at the end. @breville_monkey

There is one at the end. I’m thinking it might be the paragraph break is the issue and each paragraph may need to have its own opening and closing tag.

Fixed it.

Needs it start and end of each paragraph.

Caught me out earlier :sweat_smile:

Prime Video has updated its icon on my phone and I cant say im a fan

The black on an ugly blue doesnt look good.

iPad admittedly. R-

I am on the Google Play beta for Prime Video so I do get some stuff early, but no idea if app icons are one of them.

I don’t really like that icon either, but better than this new one they seem to be giving us.

The version on the fire tv is definitely the best imo. Light blue background with white text.

The bigger issue here should be why their branding is so inconsistent across devices.

The Amazon Music icon has also changed :person_shrugging:

I noticed that. I probably prefer that to their old one

Cannot say I am too fussed about icons.

As long as they open the app, I am happy :smile:

I’m not too fussed, same with the whole card design stuff, but they are on my phone which I use every day so I’d rather they weren’t too ugly.

I like a decent icon. But more importantly is what the app is called. No “My [brand name]” and no inconsistencies - I don’t like it being Amazon Music but just Prime Video.

In all seriousness though, same. Why isn’t it just called Sky or Dyson? :exploding_head:

Flags and requests immediate permaban

But why do they do that?! :joy:

Because you might think it’s your friend’s dyson instead. Pretty obvious reason really.

Fargo Season 5 is on Prime - and it is excellent.

Old news by now, but obviously Prime Video will be getting adverts. Unlike Disney+ and Netflix, the ad supported plan isn’t cheaper, but will be what people are already paying, with people having to pay an extra £3 to remove ads.

I think it just depends on the frequency of ads. I will only get Netflix on the ad supported tier as the ad free tier is way too much now, but they really didn’t bother me. Most of the ads were about 30 seconds and there wasn’t that many, with some shows having none (despite the progress bar telling me I would have some).

Those ads arrived on 29 January for house users who had not paid the extra fee.

Now, however, customers have found that the ads were not the only change made on accounts that had not signed up for the ad-free tier. Those users are also missing out on key features on their streaming films and TV shows.

Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos – technologies that improve the quality and depth of the video and audio when watching at home – are also not available to those customers.

The change was first noted by German tech publication 4K Filme. An Amazon representative confirmed the update to The Independent.
