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 instant streaming...

Anyone know if we'll be getting that ability? I know the iphone had it, makes me jealous haha.

Netflix did have a job posting earlier in the year suggesting that they were looking for an Android developer.
http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/netflix-targeting-streaming-for-android-with-latest-job-posting

Rumor has it Netflix will have a streaming Android player soon, hopefully very soon.
For now we'll wait. I wish they just used flash instead of the special plugin they require. If you change ur UA String to desktop and try to stream a movie, it asked you to install their silverlight plugin.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

haha wow really. Now i just need an app that sends a message to a satellite and then it sends a laser beam to scratch my ass... (got it from a movie)

Google TV is going to support netflix is it not? and that is just android

I believe the Netflix support is because of GTV has Chrome built-in and has the tools necessary to play it. There's an Android app in dev that targets mobile phones and tablets.

its coming give it a few...im sure it will have a better ui than the one on the iphone.

Soooo amped for this. The "workday" will be so much more fun now...lol

Question about streaming. Does 4G affect streaming audio/video or does it just affect downloading/uploading a file(s)?

Figured this would be a good place to post this, but is there a good Netflix app to just manage my movies and such?

Have you tried PhoneFlicks or QueueMan? I use PhoneFlicks and it works well, I've never used QueueMan but have heard it works well too.

It'ss pulled from appbrain sometime since yesterday. I personally was hoping for a review before I spend $9 on it.

I'm calling BS on that app. For instance, Why does he have it priced at 4.99 and 8.99

I'm wondering if it worked. It was pulled from the market in 24 hours or so.

Internet TV app other than SPB TV?

Does anyone know of any?

Thank you.

or full tv episodes. its 3.99 and requires 2.2. also theres jetflicks but its 49.99 a year

Personally, I'm looking mostly for FREE stuff, altough I'm sure the recommendations for fee based stuff may help someone else reading this thread .
I'm running Andriod 2.2 off my HD2. Being used to WM, there were apps like WebTV and Online TVx, that had lots of free channels and even SPB TV is free on WM. So I'm just looking for similar on Android. But I'm not paying SPB for TV on Andriod when I can use their app free in WM.

Given hulu continues to block mobile devices, it's only a matter of time before an app like this will stop working due to being blocked.

SPB TV is now free
I guess the folks who make SPB TV got the message that most of us would never be willing to pay for their app .
SPB TV is now free.

Personally, I've got a Slingbox and SlingPlayer, so I'm not worried about regular TV content. I'm interested in utilities for free access to more Internet based broadcasts.

Anyone know an app thats like Zumocast???

My dads Ipad has an app called Zumocast.. Which is like a media center..
He streams all his videos/movies/music from his home computer to his ipad on any internet connection, doesnt have to be within his network..
Its pretty bad ass actually.
I told him there is no way an ipad/iphone would have something that an android doesn't..
But there is no zumocast for android.. There has to be something like it right???
and Zumocast is free too!

I am definitely interested in this....I have been searching...only thing I found so far is torrent-fu, also free

I use Audiogalaxy for music, and it seems to work pretty well. I made an account with Zumocast when it first launched because they promised an android app, but that has yet to surface still.

yep use audiogalaxy here and it works great for music but at the moment the only way I know of streaming videos is through setting up a server using vlc and using VLC Stream & Convert to watch it.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vlc-stream-convert/com.gmail.traveldevel.android.vlc.app

I have used zumodrive and dropbox to do both these actually, but on both my old etch e sketch..i mean iphone and EVO I have used OrbLive and it rocks.
With OrbLive I can stream tv from home to my phone..whereas dropbox and zumodrive I can't.
I have ripped backups of some of my DVDs and also watched them on phone..again with Orb Live this rocks cause you provide the storage space on pc or phone and with zumo and dropbox you get 2GB for free before heading into monthly fees.

Google music beta does almost same thing. It works just for music but is way less buggy. Also has option to listen to music offline.

Try subsonic it streams music and video and converts on the fly. To watch video it'll open a webpage.. I've been using this for 2 years now

[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.

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
