I tried to use the Amazon "unbox video player" to transfer a copy of Reservoir Dogs to my phone, however, the player does not detect my device. This is all I see


According to this http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000038721 the N900 is compatible.
I have done the following with no success.
1. Followed all of Amazon's troubleshooting procedures http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200010980
2. Tried to connect via PC suite and mass storage mode several different times before and after starting unbox with the Nokia usb cable
3. Uninstalled/reinstalled the unbox software
4. Contacted video on demand phone support (they say it's my phone)
5. Tried multiple computers, 2 on XP and one on vista
I'm out of ideas on how to get this player to detect my device, any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I would question whether or not it is compatible, since it seems to require "Plays For Sure" DRM.

I do question its compatibility, but they assured me the N900 was tested. Also, I don't think it requires it, they just state most of those devices will work - I'm assuming so that they don't need to test them all.

Amazon is offering free streaming to members of Amazon Prime. Chariots of Fire actually tried to load on my N900 after I set fhe fake flash plugin, to the highest setting but I gave up after about 15 minutes of watching the screen say loading.

It came up instantly on my almost ten year old Dell Latitude D400 running the latest Ubuntu.

Edit: It didn't help any to change the setting to low quality and try it on an episode of Mr Rogers... I also tried to test it with mvideo, but I'm not sure how to do that and it didn't work.
