I know the player is right around the corner...yada yada, yada...but I have been hearing that for a while already.
Apparently there is a Linux based device (ROKU) which streams Netflix fine.
http://www.hackingnetflix.com/2008/07/roku-has-posted.html
Would it be possible to take that source code, plus maybe a system dump of the device to port the player to an Android phone?
I am not sure how 'deep' the DRM is intergrated into the device, or if it just sits on top of the OS. Anyone interested in looking at this. I am 1) not smart enough to make it work 2) have no time.
Before I saw this I didn't know there were any Linux devices capable of streaming Netflix.
Anyone? Damn I hate waiting.

i find it a little ironic that the advertisement on the page above the post at the time i am looking at it is for netflix. sorry my post doesn't help netflix streaming NOW would be great! but i just got hulu working on my evo earlier today so life isn't so bad
Update!

Apparently there's an app at MWC2011 running well. I'm curious about the DRM in the hardware though...
@amartyca, please do share the hulu solution...
Gameloft just released Order and Chaos online for Android and I was wondering if anyone has tried it for Transformer yet?
I just searched for it on the Google and Amazon markets and didn't see it.

Market link: Order & Chaos Online
it starts then it says:
"your device is not compatible, please request a refund"
edit: just found a tegra 2 version. going to try it out.
Nope, not working. Someone said it works on the Acer Iconia A500.
Dude, you have to report if you got it working ! that looks like awesomeness =)
Maybe someone could try editing their build.prop to make it work? I purchased it on the market and it works on my Captivate. I saw a thread on the gameloft forums where it is working on Gtablets. I installed it on my Transformer but get the error message that it isn't compatible even though I downloaded the tegra 2 resource files and put them where they need to go. If a simple build.prop change could fix this that would be fantastic. I'm not rooted and left the cable at work so I can't root to try it. However if anyone rooted gets it working I will definitely be rooting. I was hoping that after purchasing it on my phone it would show up on my Transformer under uninstalled purchased apps but no go

no go. Tried the build prop from lg optimus and acer iconia tab. stil says device not compatible. I dont get why gameloft wouldnt make an effort to have this tablet ready on launch.I guess its honeycomb. Im so disappointed. I doubt they wil ever add tablet support. They are pretty lame with updates
oh how I want a fix for this. Until then I'll use my thunderbolt but this would be so much better on a 10.1 inch screen
There is an "AllDevices" version now available which install, updates and runs to a point.
I managed to create a new character and accept the first quest before getting a FC.
Haven't tried further so far but going to give it another go.
The screen doesn't seem to quite fit, a small portion appears to be lost at the top.
Managed to complete a few more quests before the next FC.
FPS looks sparodic and like I said the screen isn't quite right, some text missing from top of pop up windows etc, buttons take a couple of presses to register sometimes but all in all looks a good game and quite playable without the FCs.
nice, did a search for "all devices version" loaded my char up and I've had no isuues so far

Not working (well) for me either on gt10.1. Rooted just so I could edit the build.prop, but none of them seem any better. Top ΒΌ of the screen is cut off and force closes after a few minutes. I got the the backend files from - mobile phone talk dot com.

Yes, its working on mine (Rooted, with Stock 3.1 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492).
Google for "all devices version" made by a guy called Alelug, and dont forget to purchase the game via a compatible device
Here is my guide on how to launch this game on Transformer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159975
well i wonder if the reason it works on the moto tab and the galaxy tab is because they paid netflix? what other reason would they have if i simple file edit fixes it...
This should be in General Discussion. To answer your question: In the case of the Transformer, Netflix themselves nor their app is responsible for it not running on the Transformer. Your theory keeps getting kicked around the forums...the idea that money is changing hands. There is no extortion here. ASUS did/does not need to pay Netflix anything. They just need to compile and include a newer version of libnvomx for the Transformer.
That's interesting, but that's not what ASUS claims. After asking them why there still isn't Netflix support after the 3.2 update, I got this response:
The current version of Netflix available on the Android Market is only supported for Android 2.2 based phones, and not any Honeycomb tablets. While installing the Netflix 1.3 APK has enabled Netflix for other Honeycomb tablets, officially, they are still not supported. At this time, users will have to wait on an updated release from Netflix.

The lenovo thinkpad is a honeycomb tablet and its a supported device. Not everything a customer support guy says is true.

Which is why I'm kind of volleying more questions at him. Hopefully he keeps responding.
Movies is in my Android Market though.
Maybe Netflix hasn't updated the market yet.
Just root your tablet and take it into your own hands.
netflix and market has nothing to do with it.
sry im on 3.2 and dont feel like downgrading...
You can root 3.2
I did it earlier today and it took like 10 mins. Couldn't have been easier.
Just use the batch script that works for 3.2

So what if it's not out? It's a supported device.
Guys,
The ASUS support rep is wrong. Netflix 1.3 DOES work on Honeycomb tablets, the XOOM being one of them. There is no conspiracy here, no matter how hard you look. When attempting to stream from Netflix on the Transformer using Honeycomb 3.2, you get that error message. A peek in logcat shows the Netflix app yells about not finding function DRM.play inside OMX. This is a function of a NEWER version of libnvomx than ships on the Transformer or in it's updates.
XOOM has newer libnvomx w/ drm.play function = working netflix
Transformer (and other tablets) with libnvomx WITHOUT drm.play = broke netflix
Since the hardware inside the XOOM and the Transformer are VERY similar, I was able to pull the newer libnvomx.so from the XOOM and overwrite the one on my Transformer to make Netflix function. That's ALL the Netflix app cares about. It doesn't care what device you are on, or if Netflix has been "paid" by that manufacturer. That said, because the Transformer IS a different device than the XOOM, things break when doing this. I do believe the only problem on the Transformer that I've seen reported is that the libnvomx replacement breaks WMV playback. Not a big issue for most, tbh. The same fix works on the Acer Iconia, but replacing the file breaks their camera.
You need to petition the manufacturer of your particular device to compile an updated version of OMX w/ the drm.play function and include it in an official OTA.
Otherwise root and replace the file yourself with one from a different device and deal with whatever breaks.
^This is how my Netflix patch works. It's a flashable zip with nothing but libnvomx.so from a XOOM 3.2 ROM. I think we are lucky on the Transformer that nothing breaks except for WMV playback.
well the question is did netflix provide moto with that drm files cause more than likely its talor made for them and it may be the only thing that uses it
It IS about money.
Each manufacturer has to pay software/hardware engineers to design their devices and make sure the device works with Android.
--Some manufacturers are likely paying for more/better engineers.
In our case, it's a matter of Asus paying someone to get Netflix working. As noted above, anytime you make changes on software you might break something else. So the engineer(s) have to do all kinds of "magic" to make sure that something works like it's supposed to without disrupting something else...

No, that's not a realistic question at all. As I clearly stated, the drm functions are a part of OMX. Moto simply is using more up to date libraries in their ROM than ASUS.

Agreed. It is NOT, however, about device manufacturers having to pay some sort of imaginary extortion fee to Netflix so that their app will run on a particular device.

When asking about dock RMA I asked about why Netflix was promoted on Transformer website, by Asus etc...
I got this response.
Thank you for contacting ASUS. I do apologize for any possible inconvenience or confusion you have experienced thus far. Please advise that while a native Netflix application may not yet be available, any development or availability of Netflix service on Android tablets is controlled strictly by Netflix and/or Google, as hardware manufacturers have no bearing or control over when software applications are available for the Android OS. With that said, I believe that a Netflix application for Android is well into development and should be available relatively soon.
Again I do apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you again for your consideration.

All true, but still didn't answer my question.
Only hope is Google/Netflix get things worked out sooner rather than later.
That reply from the ASUS rep makes it sound like they didn't even know that a Netflix app for Android was available. Clueless.
Hi,
I have a request. Does some know how to make NBA Game Time 2012-2012 or NBA.TV app work on kindle fire. I tried through android market but it says that my device is not compatible.
Do you have any advice to solve this problem ?
(If by any chance you have the apk to install this I would really appreciate sending my liknk through PM)
Best regards,
I will ask differenlty ;-)
May someone from US who has access to Android Market, download NBA Game Time 2011-2012 and make backup of it and then post a link to a apk file so we can test if it works on Kindle Fire?
Thank in advance!
I need the app also. I have a dell streak 7 from t-mobile that I reloaded with the streak 7 honeycomb rom. Now the app wont install because it allows streak7 t-mobile but not the wifi that the honeycomb rom is based off of. Its too smart for its own good.
I pulled the APK from my Inc2, and it's odd since it's buried in another spot, not in /data/app.
I tried to install it on my kindle (unrooted) but it would get stuck at the splash screen. Anyways, here's the apk.

i dont think that will work- pkg.apk is for sprint broadband nba.
The file which was included above do work on Kindle Fire. I didn't try mobile league pass because I'm not in US.
I also istalled NBA.TV app which supposed to be not only for US users and it also works on Fire but it's not dedicated for tablet so for instance I can't login to international league pass because of screen issue.
Hope it helps
I was able to install it on my Transformer, using the above link, as it wasn't in the market for me, or any other tablet user. Everything works ok, except on videos I only have audio, no video. Hopefully they update it to support all tablets, including the Fire.

That's kind of weird though since I have a Verizon device. It was the only apk that showed up when i searched nbagametimelite
I was just thinking though that maybe it's getting stuck because it's trying to do a location check?
It wasn't for Sprint broaband only but regular one. The Sprint NBA Game Time blocks me just at the beginning, this works just fine
I chatted with customer support and they say that they are working on application for android tablets but they can't tell me when we can expect it though
Could you please upload NBA.TV application too?

Anyone else having an issue?
I have a GTX 770 card and GE experience says everything checks out.
I am also using Windows 8 Pro.
When I click on the game I want to play from the PC it loads on the PC and shows the Nvidia logo (looks like the green controller) then just doesn't load it on the Nvidia Sheild.
Then my only choice is to resume or quite on the controller. When I resume it just goes back to same screen to resume or quit...
All drivers are updated, firmware is up to date on Shield.
Not sure what else to check.
I am also running 3 monitors on my PC. I even tried to just use 1 monitor and changed the resolution to 720 to match shield with same results.
Did you install the beta drivers? The most updated aren't new enough unless you have beta drivers checked in GFE

Yeah, I don't believe that you'd even get the attempted streaming if you didn't have the correct drivers and GFE. I wish I knew a way to help, but that needs NVIDIA, not me. I'm an Android guy.
yeah I have the latest version of the Experience and the latest (beta drivers now). Going to try to reboot system, go back to single screen and try it again.
This is a good forum in case someone else has the same issues
Thanks agrabren.
Working with tech support from Nvidia via Chat right now. They seem to think my firmware version on my Android is old. But system wont let me update. Says up to date...
Looks like they have to open a case for me and call me back. I will keep everyone in the loop in case someone else runs into this.

Hello,
I had some serious issues getting this to work but I have made some progress.
I have to do the following to get as far as I did:
Setup:
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Window Firewall off
Nvidia Driver 326.41 (Yesterday)
Geforce Experience 1.6
Could not find PC hit system update and it said version 50. When installing the notes said it will add Nvidia streaming support so I accepted.
After many failed attempts to get it to see my computer I had to turn on 5GHz and N only for the PC to show. Once I did this I was able to see the computer.
Steam will launch in 720p when i hit the button but I got a black screen for about an hour. So then I downloaded a supported game and that works right away. I downloaded a second game it opens and streams right away.
But the controller does not work at all for input (works fine in Android but not streaming).
Tried Steam again but no go, opted in July26th beta and it still does the black screen. It will open and quit properly though.
I am stuck with Steam not even working at all and games the run great but will not accept input from the controller.
Beta is Beta but what a terrible launch, I could barley find in stock. Get home and cant even test this out because of the controller. Very silly stuff!
My shield updated itself from a july 5th firmware to july 26th firmware and streaming works great now.

Having same issue and just went to check for the update and it is available so I am downloading now. One thing I noticed is that the notes of the update state "GeForce PC streaming Beta enabled." So hopefully this update will fix the problem.

After installing update 50 I am now happily playing Skyrim and GTAIV on my shield.
Same thing here. I went to update again and this time it let me update system. Playing Borderlands 2 right now This thing is amazing!

Yes Agraben you are correct. So glad to see that they work. This is one nice piece of hardware here folks.
Had anyone the opportunity to compare the streaming performance against the Splashtop application on GPlay? Just to know if it will be worth to try to extract the client from the shield dump to see it running on other devices or if the performance will be on par (the streaming client on Shield is developed by Splashtop inc. too).
