Amazon Fire TV: Videos Not Playing or Being Asked to Subscribe Again

If you're being asked to pay again on your Amazon Fire TV, or videos aren't working despite having an active Durioo+ subscription — this article explains why, and how to fix it. You should not need to pay twice.

❓ Why is Fire TV asking me to subscribe again?
Your Durioo+ subscription is tied to the platform you used to subscribe — not the device you're watching on:

• Subscribed via Durioo+ website → managed by Durioo+/Stripe

• Subscribed via Google Play (Android phone) → managed by Google

• Subscribed via Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad) → managed by Apple

• Subscribed via Amazon Appstore (Fire TV) → managed by Amazon

If you subscribed via Google or Apple and are now watching on Fire TV, the Fire TV app may not automatically recognise your subscription — it's a different platform. You have two options:

1. Log in with your existing account email — this links your Durioo+ account across all devices, regardless of platform ✅ (recommended)

2. Subscribe separately through Amazon if you prefer managing everything via your Amazon account

💡 One Durioo+ subscription covers up to 4 devices at the same time — you don't need separate subscriptions per device, as long as you log in with the same email.

🔧 Fix 1 — Log out and log back in with the correct email
Resolves the issue in most cases.

1. Open Durioo+ on your Fire TV

2. On the subscription prompt, look for "Log In" or "Already a member?"

3. Log in with the exact email you used when you originally subscribed

4. VIP access should activate immediately

⚠️ Subscribed via Google Play? Use your Google account email. Via Apple? Your Apple ID email. Via website? The email registered at checkout.

🔧 Fix 2 — Clear app data and re-login

1. Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications → Durioo+

2. Force Stop, then Clear Data
   ⚠️ This logs you out — have your registered email ready

3. Relaunch and log back in → check if VIP is active

🔧 Fix 3 — Uninstall and reinstall

1. Same menu → Uninstall

2. Home screen → Find (search) → "Durioo+" → download again

3. Log in with your registered email

🔧 Fix 4 — Update Fire TV software

1. Settings → My Fire TV → About

2. Check for Updates / Install Update

3. Restart your Fire TV after updating

👧 Durioo+ not appearing on my child's Fire TV profile?
This is a known Fire TV platform limitation — Durioo+ currently works only on the main (adult) profile, not Amazon child profiles.

Workaround: use Durioo+'s built-in parental controls from the main profile — you get the same protection:

• Set a screen time limit (Profile → Screen Time)

• Set an age filter (Profile → Parental Controls → Age Filter)

• Set a Parental PIN to lock settings from children

💰 Price looks different between platforms — is that normal?
Yes. Prices may vary slightly between the Durioo+ website, Google Play, Apple, and Amazon — each platform sets its own pricing and currency conversion. Content and features are identical everywhere.
