Netflix app

Has anyone tried the leaked Netflix app? I so have you gotten the videos to play?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

nope...I can get all the way in but when I try to stream, it tells me the service cannot be reached...
Here is a link to the apk file in case anyone else wants to try
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...apk-leaked-probably-wont-stream-anything-yet/

I have it loaded. Same report as everyone else. Doesn't stream - says it can't reach the Netflix service.
I can however manage my instant queue so it's useful to me already.

Same here with cm7 nightly.

ohhhhh yeaaa. haha
I like to use TV Shows Stream. thats an awesommmeee app that has like any tv show known to man on it and really good quality too on my Vibrant. but movies would be sick with netflix. hope they're not crap quality.

Doesn't even install on my Verizon Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) on Android 2.1. Perhaps it requires 2.2.

[Q] Netflix for droid x

Alright. So what is the reason that we cant stream on droid x

As far as I know, there aren't any devices that can stream yet.

Netflix claims it's lack of adequate native DRM support in the Android OS.

Not even 3.0 can support it? Come on Android!

At least we now have a decent app to take care of our queue I am sure streaming is not far away.

I was referring to Android devices, the Netflix app works like a dream on my ipad.

One if the problems is the app is apparently looking for DRM built jnto the cpu, not the operatjng system. If that's the case you'll never get it running on any of the older phones.

From what I have read over at droidxforums netflix will only stream on snapdragon processors. They have the right security built into them.

This may be inappropriate, but why would anyone pay for movies (and/or Netflix service) in the first place? It's not like there isn't anyway to get them free

Netflix is 1000x more convenient and not illegal like pirating movies and TV shows.

Thanks for the info. That makes sense about the processor.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App

The whole "needing hardware DRM" thing is horse crap, Netflix is just being too lazy to do it through software in the Netflix app for Android. You see them requiring Intel or AMD to put in a hardware DRM function in their processors for streaming on desktops and laptops?.....

I was so happy to hear that the Netflix was coming to android .... but not anymore this is sad.

that's what they're saying that its an issue w/security like were going 2 sit there & record off our phones quality would suck even if u could

If you have Playon installed on your PC, you can use the Playon Android app for Netflix, Hulu, etc

• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
Incredible and EVO 4G, but no Thunderbolt???

Your link is broken, and I don't see the app in the market. I call bull****. Besides, it was already announced that only 2nd gen snap dragon phones would get netflix? The Incredible and Nexus don't fit the bill. Hope I'm wrong, I can pickup an Incredible on craigs for nothin.

Link is working fine. You don't see it in the market because its not compatible with the Tbolt.

The link works fine. But it says that my Thunderbolt is "not a supported device."

The link is broken because of the http and https mashed together at the beginning. If you remove the https it works fine. It is definitely disappointing but I imagine they'll add support for the TB eventually.

Maybe you should put a minute amount of effort into search before you crap on someone. Now who has egg on their face? That's right you do...
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/netflix-releases-android-app-for-select-htc-phones-samsung-nexu/
I wonder if changing the device ID is enough to fool the netflix app... I hope someone here figures it out...

Based on the permissions this app requires, it probably reads the build.prop file to determine which phone you are using.
Any way to trick the app into thinking we're using an Incredible or something?

I'm with you on the 2nd gen Snapdragon thing. Everything I read about the LG Revolution said that it could only run the Netflix app because it has a Qualcomm MSM8255 (same chip that is in the T-bolt).

so wait my girls one year old evo can play netflix but my brand new thunderbolt cant? Really watching windows 7 man.

somebody pulled the apk but it still does not work on the Thunderbolt. The apk seems to look at the phone it is on when loading. I dont have enough post to post a link so edit the following.

what happen to all that drm talk?

Give it some time. This is what Netflix says on their blog:
The Market download will initially be available only on select phones that currently have the requisite playback support. We expect to quickly add to the number of phones that can download from Android Market as we work with ecosystem partners to expand playback support.

It only makes sense for them to first support phones which have been out longer, and have a larger installed base.

Can it be that the reason the Thunderbolt won't be sporting Netflix is because Verizon had blockbuster preinstalled?

Netflix on HTC Sensation

In case anyone was wondering, Netflix DOES work great on the Sensation. I put it on today and it works flawlessly. The picture quality is unreal. The file I used is netflix-new-mod2.apk, I think I found that in the Netflix for the Mytouch 4g forums, but I suspect any of them would work. Give it a try...
BTW Here's a Link to the Netflix app I spoke of. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Netflix Official
I found that you can download Netflix directly from the market now, although it is not in the list of supported devices. It previously wasn't available at all. There seemed to be a resolution problem after closing the app.... Any ideas??

Hello all I have a HTC Sensation on T-mobile - tried this specific one and no joy.
It installs fine, but I get a very specific error when I try and play my queue.
I get "netflix loading" then after a good 5-10 minutes of trying it comes back with "There is a problem connecting to Netflix. Please try again later (13005)."
I called netflix and they told me it is because the error means my device is unsupported which I know it isn't officially listed yet so that was nothing I didn't expect.
I have T-mobile - lowest data plan and I'm over the usage cap of full speed so it is on the lower speed at the moment.
I don't know that this is what is making a difference or not, but thought I'd add it.
I run the phone stock with all current updates installed.
I see numerous posts saying which apk a specific user was able to get working and oddly enough I get the same error from having tried several of them - including the official netflix 1.3 app from the android marketplace, netflix-mod-2.apk, com.netflix.mediaclient_246.apk, and com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk (the link provided above took me to this one).
Has anybody seen this/overcome it on a stock HTC Sensation and if so - how specifically?
To add insult to injury btw the com.netflix.mediaclient_246.apk one I found works great for my dad on his mytouch 4g when none of the other ones did for him.
Any help appreciated
Respectfully,
Neil

Yeah, it's definitely not in the market because apparently T-Mobile and other carriers have added it as a subscription that you have to pay for in T-Mobile TV. I found the free app by doing a google search for Crackle apk.
Hope that helped...

for me too !!!

Maybe I'm making something out of nothing here, but if Netflix is charging for this type of service, how can crackle come in and deliver movies and TV shows for free without the movie industry and network television making a stink and/or threaten with lawsuits?
I really don't know too much about Crackle, but what I do know is, if something seems too good to be true, it generally is.

Not sure about what kind of agreement they have to pull this off but there are sure lot of ads while playing vids... and I mean right in the middle of it. Where they stick ads make no sense.
Steam quality is nowhere near Netflix.
Still, they got stuff for steam that are not available on netflix steam.
Covers lot of bases having both on my phone.

I did try it on the Sensation and it works. Sadly it doesn't work on my G-Slate. And yeah, the ad placement is horrible.
