How did you get Netflix on your G2 (I assume you mean TMobile G2 phone)?

I'm sure someone will hack the APK to get it to work somehow..

I'd likely say tegra 2 has drm since netflix was using it as a baseline to help develop netflix for android tablets...

Whats odd is i can install it on my gtab running vegan tab 5.1...... its odd same chip. Maybe its the android version only 2.2 and 2.3 devices a currently compatible.

What's even most strange is that Honeycomb has DRM baked in. I'm really not sure what the holdup is on getting Netflix on Honeycomb tablets.

Got it installed no workie though. App opens little window saying not supported on the device. It did let me log in though. Tried to play something said not supported again. I imagine a log of what the app does woupd be helpfull. Maybe a spoof of an id of a supported device.
It would make sense that the app looks for some kind of verification that its a supported device....
Has to be a way to rig it.

It has been ported to a few Motorola devices already.

Netflix has been hacked to work on the nook color. Will the same hack work on the transformer?

Tried it, doesn't work. There's gotta be something that works.
I might take a look at the build.prop and compare some other things from the droid X and see what happens.

This may work... but you will need root.

Looks like the Asus EEE Pad Transformer lacks some DRM libs to get Netflix to play video.

Nook color is running Froyo, or Gingerbread through some custom ROMs. There was a demo version of Honeycomb, tho.
Transformer runs Honeycomb. Honeycomb != Froyo/Gingerbread.
That is why.

[Q] Amazon Instant Video Store

Has anyone tried using this on their transformer? Does it work. I'm thinking it shouls because it is based on flash, unless amazon blocked it for some reason.
Has amazon cloud music worked for you too?

Cloud music works great on mine.
I know the video on demand works on my xoom before, but I haven't try it on my transformer. I should check it now. Lol
Edit: works great on the transformer too.

Netflix instant streaming doesn't use flash it uses Silverlight. That's it why it won't work on android devices without an app.

How do you install this apk? I get a failure when I try to install it on my 3.1 non-rooted wifi Xoom.
Until that APK is deodexed and reuploaded, don't expect it to work outside the specific device it was made for.
is this the movie rental app? Because I don't seem to have it either after upgrading to 3.1?
Wifi only Xoom will not have Google Videos for now and will be "coming in near future" according to Motorola

The application installs and starts but no movies can be played. Not sure which features DO work. It looks awesome though!
Just tried it and it works. Open my queue and played a movie. Finally...
Gets further than any other netflix release but just a black screen when playing. I'm sure it's not far off. DX liberty. 5

Well, I'm sure tegra2 devices won't be too far behind. All of the devices that are supported have similar processors. The tegra2 is much better, but different. I'm sure netflix is just making sure that there is a quality user experience before releasing it.

It plays on the TF101? Strange. It told me it's not compatible with my device... Maybe it's the firewall at work that keeps messing it up? But others also reported it's only a black screen. Why the differences? I'm rooted and running PRIME! 1.2
Who if the author? I'm looking through the market and i see netflix but they don't seem real... Where is the official application

The way I understand is this is a hardware issue. When they initially announced it for Android, they claimed to only be working with Qualcomm in order to prevent piracy of content. I haven't checked to see if they've expanded beyond that just yet though...so this could be entirely invalid and be a mere software thing
If this is the same app that was leaked off an LG phone a couple of monts ago, the problem is DRM. The app i looking for a DRM file that's not located on the device.

I downloaded the new client from the Xoom forum and it's working fine for me. Had to uninstall the old one first but just watched a Deadliest Warrior with no problems.
I read that all Netflix video performance enhancers are bogus. What's different about this one?

Ya they dont do anything special i have never seen any change so i just run the stock app as now that it works fine on almost everything no reason to hack someones app as it can only piss off the people who did all the work to make it in the first place but thats just my thoughts
Can anyone who lives in Canada tell me if they can get streaming on their Transformer?
I get this little popup:
This device cannot instantly stream from Netflix in your area. Visit ca.netflix.com/NRD to see a full list of devices that instantly stream from Netflix.
Weird thing is I see people using Netflix all over Calgary.
Edit: Nevermind
To get netflix working do this:
1) Make sure you are updated to 8.6.5.9
2) Make sure you download the latest netflix package here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...st-phones-too/
3) Install netflix from the apk BUT DO NOT LOGIN YET (If you have already please clear the applications data.)
5) Sign up here: http://www.vpnreactor.com
6) Go on your tansformer and setup the VPN in wireless and network settings. (Pretty straightforward username password and url.)
7) Connect to the VPN
8) Login to Netflix
9) Pick any video and let it play for 15 seconds
10) Disconnect VPN
11) Reboot yout Transformer
12) Use Netflix without VPN

Didnt get to test it too much, but the one difference for me was the red Netflix startup logo.
Before, it was stretched and looked a little "chunky" (almost as if in safe mode)
Now, the "Netflix" Letters are smaller and sharper.
Ill have to try other videos, but was streaming Prison Break episode and fast forwarded/rewinded, and the buffering time was quick.
Before, it seemed to take longer.
btw. installed the first link
Netflix 1.4.0 working on my non-rooted Transformer
I was able to download, install and use Netflix (1.4.0 build) today on my Eee Pad Transformer.
My Transformer is "NOT-rooted".
My Transformer is updated to Honeycomb 3.2 version.
The only issue I have noticed is that "Search" is not working, the Search issue has already been mentioned by several others on this site.

[Q] CROMI X and Hulu+ ?

I'm sick of the laggy stock firmware on my TF300, and I'd really like to try CROMI X, but I'm concerned about streaming video services that may not work after root. I can't seem to find a definitive answer regarding Hulu+, some say it works, some say it doesn't. Are there any other streaming services (VUDU, HBO Go, and the like) that have issues with rooted devices?

Hulu+ works. Other services will depend on how they check for root. Eg., Amazon Prime works.
