5055 Error in Streaming Video



Some of you have faced this issue when streaming video with Amazon. Main reason behind this is Amazon works based on IP address. 

When you try to stream any video, Amazon will check for your Geographical location and if you have payment card and billing address in your current location, this error (5055) will be resolved.

If you have payment card and billing address correctly, please try to clear data for video apps:

Clear Data for Video Apps:


Clearing application data can also help resolve intermittent playback issues with apps you use to stream movies and TV shows on your Fire TV device.

1.       Select Settings from the Fire TV menu.

2.       Select Applications > Manage Installed Applications.

3.       Select the application you're having trouble with.

4.       Select Force Stop, and then select Clear Data.

5.       When prompted to Delete App Data, select Clear Data again.

6.       Restart your Fire TV device. Disconnect the power cord, and then plug it back in.

Another Major reason for this error is, if you have purchased device (FireTV or FireTV Stick) from Major market place such as US, UK, IN, it will work only within the purchased regions. You can check this in product description.

If you want device which will work outside of this marketplace, Amazon has launched separate device which will work outside of these regions. Please check this link.


Hope this information helps!!
