I'm currently in the UK -- here is what Amazon tells me (and I've found it to be true) when trying to use Amazon outside of my "home" country:
Some Amazon services may not work outside of your home country
Oh, sorry, ACK.
Probably the same bug with your NFL subscription.
I've never had an issue if I just change my home country on prime video in the options setting to access the regular local content, non special subscription. Music works fine for me.
I've found the apps on different devices are wildly different.
I carry a Google TV with Chromecast wherever I go and enjoy whatever countries content I want, so doesn't seem to agree with the answer Amazon gives.
Very helpful since licencing differs between different countries, some content is only on Disney+ or others in different countries, but Amazon will licence it in the another country.
Of course I use a VPN to access the country I want. That's probably what breaks it.
