How do I actually access my owned stuff in the app? It used to be much easier. Google says to go to "My Stuff," but that is not an option anywhere in the app for me.

Anyone else having issues with subtitles for the Batman.

This happens across 2 TVs and my mobile device and laptop.

Essentially the English CC subtitles are way out of sync, I'm pretty sure they are from a trailer or towards the end of the film...

I've tried turning the subtitles on and off and switching languages (which are in sync and working)

All apps up to date and cache cleared, happens across multiple devices as well.

Hello, i am currently watchin a tv series on prime tgat eas originally fimed in a 4:3 format, but prime automatically auto scales it to a 16:9 format, this cuts some parts of the image. Is there any way to de-activate this scaling and get it back to its 4:3 format?

What happened to the video controls for “next episode” or “start from beginning” on Kindle Fire?

This popup just showed up on the Prime Video app, asking me to take a survey on my FireTV.

The popup cannot be interacted with using the remote control and it doesn't go away anymore.

What am I supposed to do now?

Update: The trick is to stop watching whatever one is watching, go back to the main app screen and then focus magically shifts to the two buttons so they can be interacted with.

Still, that's a very stupid UX design.

Hi--I've had Amazon Prime Video forever, recently added a Peacock Premium Plus subscription so I could watch past seasons of some shows. One of the shows, Summer House (shut up), has all ten seasons, but for some reason Season 8 is not included and it seems like I am supposed to purchase it separately? I would prefer not to. Any ideas on what to do or why this is?

Thanks

UPDATE: Just finished the Season 7 reunion and Season 8, Ep 1 started playing!? Now I'm afraid to turn the screen off. But, problem solved, I guess.

Prime says I have to call or use chat to get help with an account issue, then immediately below that says neither phone or chat are available. Absolutely ridiculous, anyone know how to get through to them?

Monthly charge for "Prime Video." I've logged into Amazon, gone to subscriptions, I have no Prime subscription under my usual, or even secondary email. It says "no subscription." No add-on subscriptions either, or single purchases (like, a one off movie rental). Trouble finding help on the site. Anyone have ideas?

Posted my fix in case someone needs it too. Raised a dispute over the transaction with the bank, was awarded the payments back.
