Amazon Prime glitch on Safari

Macbook pro; OS 12.2.1 Safari 15.3

I have been watching videos on Safari with Amazon Prime for years. Suddenly, for the past 2 days, I cannot. I get a message saying "We're experiencing a problem with this video." However, the video plays just fine on Google Chrome so it is a Safari specific issue. Other website, such as youtube videos, have no problem.

I have tried erasing the cache and the history, but the problem remains. Any idea how to solve this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

The Prime Video player app also would not work and it posted this error message: This video can't play on your device as it doesn't meet content protection standards.

After a bit of research I found it is a glitch with the HDMI external monitor I use. All I had to do was shutdown the computer, unplug the monitor and plug it back in, and restart the computer. All fixed!!
