If corrupted or overwritten by a faulty file, sometimes the Prime Video app’s cache and data can trigger the PLR_PRS_CALL_FAILED error message.
Many users reported clearing their cache, and Amazon Prime Video app data resolved the problem. Let’s try it.

1. Turn on your Fire TV, and the Home page will appear.
2. Next, Hit the settings gear on the far right of your screen.
3. Scroll to the bottom and choose Applications.

3. Disable IPV6 to fix PLR_PRS_CALL_FAILED issue
Many people who experienced the PLR_PRS_CALL_FAILED error said that disabling IPV6 from their internet router solved it.
IPV6 is a highly complex internet protocol system, unlike IPV4. Not all services, such as Prime Video, have enabled use in all countries. If Prime Video servers are unavailable in your area or your ISP does not fully support IPV6, you might encounter the PLR_PRS_CALL_FAILED problem.
To test if Prime Video is available, you can disable the IPV6 option from your modem and internet router. You may need to read the instructions manuals for your router and modem.
You may not be required to. Your router’s IP address will usually be displayed somewhere on your device. You can get the router’s settings by entering that IP address in the browser. These settings will then be required to enable IPv6.
You can also search the internet for your model number to find a tutorial on how you can turn off IPV6. Like the IP address, the model number should also be displayed on the device.
