Linux streaming of amazon prime, like appletv

I am looking for a good application on Arch that works an an appletv. I have amazon prime and want to stream video to a TV hooked-up to an old PC running Arch. How are people doing this? Kodi does not have an amazon prime feature.

I just use a web browser on an old PC hooked to the tv. Paired with a wireless "presentation remote" with a couple configued button bindings it works great for amazon / netflix / etc. It works *much* better than the fireTV stick that I have in another room which is a constant PITA.

But I have no idea what apple tv does, so I don't know if there are specific features you are looking for.

I may be misunderstanding a bit but I use qtwebflix - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qtwebflix-git - to watch Netflix/Amazon/AppleTV+/HboMAX and it works well after some basic configuration. I'm not sure if this will meet your needs but setting this up has been pretty straightforward.

Your browser loads to amazon.com and you have a remote that uses the mouse?

Was that question for me? Yes - that's what I described. But not amazon.com but rather the prime video url: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/storefront

Arch Linux
