Amazon Prime Video and Linux - Video only in SD quality - activate FullHD

It would be really helpful if a full explanation on how to do everything for dummies was posted. I understand you need to install the windows chrome but it isn't allowing me to do so. I see a comment that you used a windows machine but I don't know what that means. Also the wine installing section on the blog, what am I doing there, throwing it into the terminal? Very confused.

Thank you! I was thinking I was alone at this one haha never understood why the video quality was low at Prime Video, even when using the "better" quality setting. I will try this steps at this weekend.

Vielen Dank, ich bin gerade auf Linux mint umgestiegen und hatte mich über die schlechte Quali gewundert.
Direkt auf den Punkt und gut erklärt.

obrigado!

doesn't work for me unfortunately. Arch with all said packages (wine-staging and the other 2), but when I press play inside google chrome it gives me some Prime Video error code. So I guess Amazon might have figured out a way to block this? Filthy little amazon

I m having same problem with chorme OS flex

Does this method still work ?

Hi, I do have the same issue but using fedora 38. If I try it your way I get along till the last step, where chrome gives me the message "You need windows 7 or higher" and the process closes. As you mentioned if I just install chrome for lunix I do have the same quality issues.

It would be a huge help if you could help me.
Gerne auch in Deutsch, wenns das einfacher macht ;)

It said I have held broken packages, can't get it to work

Läuft das bei dir immer noch? Ich krieg das nicht hin, also der Browser läuft mit Wine, aber Amazon sagt nö..

How did you download the Chrome Windows version on Linux?

thanks

Thanks for this! Your fonts look amazing, browser and terminal. How? Did you do something special?

Is it possible to be banned from Prime after using this method?
