TL;DR
- A new Morphe patch claims to remove ads from Prime Video on Android TV devices.
- The creator says the patch was built with extensive help from Claude.
- Users still need to download, patch and manually install the modified Prime Video software on their TVs.
Earlier this year, several former Revanced developers and contributors Turned on Morpheopen source software that patches YouTube and YouTube Music to unlock features that normally require a YouTube Premium subscription. Recently, the Morphe community has expanded beyond YouTube, creating patches for streaming applications Like Disney Plus and others to remove ads from these services on Android TV devices.
There is now a community member released a new Prime Video Android TV patch aims to provide an ad-free streaming experience. According to the developer, the patch was created with extensive help from Claude AI and is specifically designed for the Android TV version of Prime Video.
How does this work?
The patch does not make Prime Video free or bypass subscriptions. Instead, it targets ads shown to users at Amazon’s level of ad support. The developer claims that the patch prevents the app from scheduling and loading ad breaks. This means that if you’re a Prime member and have access to a bundled ad-supported Prime Video plan, you can potentially get uninterrupted playback after installing this patched version of the app on your Android TV devices.
As Prime Video’s advertising plan only offers HD streaming, it’s unclear if the patch will also allow users to stream 4K.
As with previous Morphe streaming patches, setup isn’t straightforward. Users need to download a custom Prime Video APK package, upload it to Morphe, apply the patch, save the modified APK, copy it to their Android TV device, and then install it manually.
The creator also claims that no DNS blocking, VPNs or additional network tweaks are required. In fact, they recommend against running DNS filtering tools alongside the patch, saying that the modified implementation works best on its own.
The patch is reportedly being tested Onn 4K Android TV streaming device. The developer says that results may vary on devices such as NVIDIA Shield, Google TV smart TVs and Fire TV products.
As always, there are risks involved. Modified apps may violate the streaming service’s terms of service and may be discontinued without notice. They can also expose users to security risks depending on where the patches come from. Still, the release is another example of the rapid expansion of the Morphe community beyond YouTube.
