In this post, we are going to discuss the issue DISK-IO-ERROR with Prime Video which stops the users from downloading any videos offline.
As per the users’ complaints raised in the Amazon Forum or other communities, the DISK-IO-ERROR occurs with Prime Video when users try to download any video or if they are trying to play any downloaded videos. Some users can download one or two videos but have errors when they try to download more videos.
So in short for different users, the error is coming differently. For some users, the error is stopping them to download any content, and for some users, the error is stopping them to watch their downloaded content.
We were unable to find any official information shared by Amazon on the error, but we were able to find some user’s shared workaround which may help you resolve the error.
Here are some users’ complaints raised online,
1. I can’t download more than 2 episodes. After than it shows DISK-IO-ERROR. Plz suggest me what to do. Source
2. I get this error while downloading even the purchased videos onto a brand-new fire tablet.
2. I am trying to watch on my phone. I downloaded the video to my SD card. When I go back to play it, I get around error code that says disk I-O error to try again. That happens every time I try.
