[DEV][APP] Netflix Updated 03-28-11

For those who haven't seen the news that the Netflix apk was taken from the LG Revolution system dump I thought I'd provide the apk for anyone wanting it.
I'm assuming this isn't a violation in anyway, but if so I apologize.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/1...cation-pulled-from-lg-revolution-system-dump/
For those wishing to follow the development of this app on a general Android level I'll include the appropriate thread. Also I will try to provide updates as they come along, but if someone else catches it first let me know and I'll change the OP accordingly.
UPDATE (03-15-11): Now included is the DRM apk found within the LG Revolution. Credit given to cheebahawk over on the EVO forum. Also it is very likely this this will be a no-go given the DRM issue, but I have confidence that those who want this will try their hardest.
UPDATE (03-24-11): Attached is the new apk (com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) that auto-updated and included streaming on 03-23-11. However, Netflix has since shutdown streaming again. The attached files may still be useful.
UPDATE (03-27-11): Netflix has since completed shutdown access to their system from the Android app. Users are no longer able to access any functions of Netflix service.
UPDATE (03-28-11): Netflix has turned the service back on, so back functions have been restored. However, streaming is still a no-go.

Thanks man. Too bad we can't stream anything yet. The guys in the Evo thread have been trying to fix this problem and I hope they do.

If it can't stream then what's the point of having it?
Does it download anything?

Mainly just the ability to edit your Instant Queue. Also once Netflix has the service up it "should" stream

Cant Wait for this! Should Be on the Thunderbolt as well if I remember correctly

The app keeps on FC'ing on my phone with CM7-RC1...sucks.

If you'd actually read, it's not working. They are working on it so give it time. It's from a completely different system so it isn't hard to understand why it doesn't work.

Like many already posted, i have it installed on my rooted incredible. Again you can manage your instant que only. When you try to stream you get the "1005 error." Excited to see what the Devs. can do!

Seems like they're waiting for the service to actually go online. Only so much you can do with a non-available service :/

From my understanding of all that has been said about the Netflix app and what Netflix has said in the past, it requires a phone with a chip that has DRM baked in, so the chip in the Incredible and Evo isn't new enough and will not work unless they hack the app and bypass the DRM requirement. (Which begs the question of whether the phone can manage the DRM via software and keep up)

How nice of you to say, but some Inc users have been getting it to work. I understand it doesn't stream, but it closes after I login. I was just telling other people for reference.
Geeze...

Mine works minus the streaming which is understand. I can view and search and edit my queue however.If I attempt to stream it says it could not contact the service and kicks me out to the main screen.

When I use it (streaming), it just loads, and loads, and loads.... no error anymore, it did at first, but now it just loads forever....

Any word on an update on this? I think its netflix side on this based off the not able to receive info from server error and the netflix site saying Android (obsolete) under list of devices. Once the service goes live I think it should work.

Hmmm.... just hung at loading for me. Cm7

hmm, got it installed, looks good. I just got a message saying that it was unable to reach the Netflix server. Don't know if its the app or the phone but I'll try it again.

Thank you! Installing now!

Best streaming app ever!!!!

Hi guys i just wanted to share this awesome app. its called tv shows hd. for some reason they removed it from the market, but i just recently found it. the link is http://www.mobileboxs.info/android-apps/tv-shows-hd-v2-9-android/ just click on the megashare mirror and close all popups. click on where it says free download and close popups. then just wait for the countdown and download the apk. install it by either putting it on your sd card or going directly on your phone and downloading it and installing it like any other apk. Enjoy!!!!
UPDATE: I just found the newest version of this app which fixes the full screen problem...http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?647650-TV-Shows-HD-v3.0-(free) you have to register to get the app, but hey 10 seconds is a small price to pay for such an awesome app. And the show quality is AWESOME
UPDATE 2: I just figured out how to use dropbox . Here is a link to the apk... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25647849/TV Shows 3.0.apk

This is awesome. Not ALL shows work but A LOT do. Re-living my childhood watching Are you Afraid of the Dark.

"How I Met Your Mother" at the palm of my hands!!! Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

My pleasure guys just trying to spread the android love. If an episode doesn't work just close the app and restart it usually works for me

Any way to make it full screen?

I use "TV Shows Stream". The free version only allows a few shows, but if you just dish out a couple bucks for the paid app, it's well worth it. Tons of shows that update frequently.

i use this too and its awesome!! anybody know of a live tv app? the last one was taken over by the FBI and other legal stuff anybody find a new one?

To make it fullscreen, just long press near the top somewhere until you see the full screen icon on the top left corner

Tv shows stream is like 8 dollars now...too expensive if u ask me. Tv shows Hd is free and the quality is amazing

Whenever I do full screen like 10 seconds later it goes back to un-full screen. Anyone else experiencing this?

Cant get this damn app to work. It searches for servers and then gives me an ad and then black screen. Tried force stoppping, and retarting. Even rebooted my phone. Any advice? Do I need to be on Wifi or is 3G fine? On a rooted Droid X running 2.3.3.

I loaded this up then just went in and deleted data on the market app and this is running great!
Then I screwed up and got excited about the google movies and download the new google video's. Rented Battle LA and started to play. then BAM... "cant access this video with a rooted device"... What a bunch of horse ****!!!.. I really hope someone figures a way around this.

THe DRM coding is what keeps it from running. not even sure how you would go about tricking it into thinking you have DRM

Well, I'm a newb when it comes to most of that. I just hope one of the many great dev's can tear into the .apk and figure out a way to mask the app from see that the device has root access.
I have no desire to steal or pirate movies. Just wanna watch an occasional movie on my tweaked phone yeah know.

They should be happy we arnet pirating the movies. Who cares if we root if we are paying

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.

Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.

Crackle apk

Does anyone have the crackle apk so I can try and side loading it?

it synced for me... hmmm slow internet slows? to maybe apps running in the background maybe? I'm not sure.

Crackle is by Sony I believe. There may be something on their support forums that might help. I also noticed getjar had the app available but didn't see what version, that is if there is more then one version of the app.
I have it on my blueray for streaming and the selections are limited but occasionally there is something good to watch. Can't beat free.
