blockbuster or netflix

I've been searching the forums can't find. Anything. On. Blockbuster or. Netflix app is there anything on that

I think it was either the galaxy or droid x thats getting a blockbuster app. I believe i even heard something about streaming. Does anyone know if its exclusive to that particular phone or if they are eventually going to release it for all android phones?
i would love a way to stream netflix too.

Netflix is working on an android app. That is all I can say about it.

We will get Netflix... if not I will cancel my membership.
From the HTC Evo!!

notice the bottom it says the epic will have a movie service and the evo will not...

I emailed Blockbuster to ask when they will release an android application since we know it exists on the droid x and they refused to give me an answer as to if or when.

To bad att only well give 2gb data before overages start. Not that it really matters you probably can only use it over wifi. Wish we could hulu.

Blockbuster will go bankrupt before an app comes it. Netflix is coming soon. I spoke with one of the top dudes at the company.

Everyone needs to harass these companies till we get the applications, especially Blockbuster because it already exists (I don't know anything about netflix). I imagine the Droid X has an exclusivity contract but it can't last for too terribly long.

Blockbuster is on the market,,, just search for it.

come on Netflix!!

Not to mention that they have to pay for Hulu access. We can get the full Hulu site for free with a little tweaking!

its on market with horrible reviews

Blockbuster was pulled from the market cause it wasn't formatted for all the phones or carriers yet. Kept fc'ing and not downloading. My guess is whenever netflix comedy out, it'll be awesome.

Blah. Blockbuster works great on my Evo. I'll post up a download on my server for everyone in the morning. Too tired now.

Netflix on the Inspire? Is it possible?

Is there currently a hack or any work around to stream netflix to this [email protected]$$ phone? I saw an article on engadget a few days ago discussing something like this. Or will there be an app soon?

From MWC 2011 it was stated that an Official Netflix App will come soon with Qualcomm's new gen Snapdragon processors. I heard sometime around spring. Again this is for an "official" app, I'm not sure about any hacks

Plex for Android in the market

That app looks awesome. It says it only supports MAC right now though? Can you confirm this before I purchase. I'm on a pc

I'm reading the Description now and it says:
"Plex for android allows you to browse and play your video, photos, and music right on your Android device, streamed from Plex Media Server on your Mac or on your PC. With Plex Media Server for MAC you can stream additional content from Aperture, iPhoto, and iTunes"
So it sounds like both are supported, but using a MAC it will automatically locate media from sources outside of the Plex Media Server

Be advised that using Plex over 3G (or "4G"...ugh) requires some port configuring and static IPs on your home computer, so it's not a great alternative to a native app.

I got the app and its ok... but netflix is nowhere on here nor can I find a netflix plugin for windows!

PlayON was just released to android today with a PC server I believe. Search Engadget for it... that supports netflix.

That's like $40!

PlayOn works like a charm either on WiFi or 3g. It's a great alternative but a costly one. Netflix app should be free if it ever comes out for Android.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

edit : wrong post

Several sources (all probably quoting each other) have said it will need hardware DRM that might be built into the next generation o processors. So the current batch of phones may be the last without the DRM. However no one knows for sure yet. I do know in the development and hacking area of XDA for Android, they are working on it.

+1 for Playon. It worked really well for me on my old Evo Shift (which had blazing dial-up type speeds), so I'm sure it'll work with the Inspire.

On applanet there's a working netflix. Ill post it

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.

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.

Crackle for Sensation?

A few people have Crackle on there devices but I can't find it in the Market due to the fact that its incompatible with the device. Does anyone know how to get it to work?

Crackle
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...

Meh, the quility isn't comparable to netflix on crackle. It would be awesome if it was watchable quality and didn't look like a cam rip.

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.

MirrorOP app

Guys and Gals of XDA, I think I've found the Holy Grail for the Xperia Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv&hl=en
A little app called MirrorOP Sender. Fully functional Android display mirror to PC and it runs fairly well.
Just played the first level of Super Mario Bros with only 1 death...Streamed from my Play to my PC connected to my TV through HDMI
All you need is the MirrorOP Receiver for the PC and you're good to go:
http://www.mirrorop.com/product_Windows_Receiver.html
The sender app is only a trial but it's worth a test. I'm not sure if the framerate is connected to how good your internet connection is. My internet isn't that good and it displays fine (portrait and landscape) but from some American speedtests I've seen maybe some of the Americans in here might have better results

Going to give ago. If works, extremely good find :thumbup:
Sent from my LT26i using XDA

Not bad, not bad at all! Excellent find!

Just found out you can also do it the opposite way as well if you get the MirrorOP receiver for your Play and Sender for PC
Runs brilliantly and means I can still access my desktop from the comfort of the toilet

Root only.
Awwwww

lags, dont know why

Tried it out will be perfect if it didn't lag..... Atleast for games and videos ..... But displaying pictures are ok enough......

Not to mention its like THE EASIEST PHONE TO ROOT EVER. None of those ridiculous tools that Motorola phones need to achieve root, no worry of s-off or any of that crap. I pity the Foo who doesn't zergrush his Xperia PLAY first thing.

Can you try the app before.you buy or must you buy first? After reading the comments here and in Play Store is it true to say the app is still slow & needs some work or is it worth buying now?

Not worth paying for yet as just to slow for games. Can test out first as the apps are free for demo time. But this does have lots of potential in the long run. Still early days yet but if see how good splashtop is, this app good just be as good and fast with some more work done to it.
