Can’t Play Prime Video through VLC? Solved Is it possible to play videos from Amazon Prime Video through VLC? As an open-source media player, VLC is not only capable of playing video and audio files stored locally on your computer, but also playing streaming video and audio. For example, you can open and play a stream from YouTube or another common online site. So you may wonder if you can play Prime video in the same way.
Of course, but you will need to do it with the third-party application, and by extra steps. There is a dedicated Prime Video Downloader called TunePat Amazon Video Downloader that lets you download streaming videos from Amazon Prime Video to your local drive and watch them later on VLC and other medial players installed on your computer. Specifically, if you are encountering the issues that the Prime video player is very slow to start and the player is difficult to control, you might as well try to play Amazon Prime videos through VLC.
