Anyone get their divx cod registration completed. Give you that link but I don't see where to enter the code?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I registered mine successfully. I downloaded and installed the divx player to my laptop. I had to setup an account (free) and then at the top of the player click where it says VOD and one of the options is to register a device. You have to enter the code from the G2X and then download/transfer the registration video to the G2X and watch it before it says the device is registered.
All in all, it's a very ridiculous process for a feature I probably won't even use but was curious how to make it work. lol

ahh thank you, what exactly does it do?
I would also like to know what the purpose of this.

I think it just allows you to transfer protected divx movies from your computer to any other authorized device, in this case our phones. I've never used it tho lol.

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.

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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
has anyone had any success with the playon mobile app on the transformer? I downloaded the trial windows and the mobile app from the market. Set up the server and the tranformer sees the playon host. i can browse the video, but once i select something to play all i get is an information type box with the program name and such. i cant seem to actually get any video from the thing.
thoughts?

Yes mine worked. The trick is to tap the blank area. Then it will pull up the video in full screen.

Same here.
I have also been using Plex on my desktop (connected to TV) for a long time, so when their Android app came out I jumped on it. Much better app IMO, and a fair, one-time, fee. Happy to pay anyway, since the desktop program is awesome and free.

Interesting. It seems like Plex only does locally stored media though. Is there a way to have it stream from basic Hulu?

I had the same thing happen to me and i just hit the pause button and then resumed it and kept doing that until i saw it actually start the download.
use the help
I selected help in the app and it said due to some restrictions, some of the movies are not available all the time, (they said it smoother than that), I tried again the next day and they downloaded.
so just wait and try again and it will work.

Everything seems to work till you go to watch the movie then it will only play for 8sec thru the app. At least I can finish watching the movie thru the TF's browser.
So you can watch the movie in the browser? 720p?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Yes sir. I launched the app, clicked on the video which launched the browser to make the purchase. I ordered the movie, clicked play and it asked me to play back thru the app or the browser. I tried the app and it would only play 8sec then stop. I went back to the browser and this time when it asked me to choose I picked the browser and it worked fine. Yes, in 720p
EDIT: Forgot to mention I was getting an message in the app player something about my rental had expired.
Also, it gives you the ability to display personal videos on a youtube style video wall. Now just gotta figure out how to make cover art show up, instead of the video snippet it uses. This is what I was coming on the boards tonight to actually inquire about - How to show movies with cover art from a screen I could choose from. Problem solved!

What's up, neighbor in Orlando? I am in Vero Beach...
Super simple...for your 3G (NOT a 3GS, right?) you'll need to jailbreak it and find an app in Cydia called 'MyWi' or 'PDANet'. Both of these will allow you to both tether with the USB cable as well as via wifi and bluetooth. If you have a 3GS, and you happen to be running iOS 4.x, you can download a tweak called 'TetherMe' which enables the native hotspot tethering in iOS4. Good luck...PM me with any questions.

OK so were you on home wifi or 3g when you did this. And how come you were only able to play the movie in 480p. Were you playing it in 480p in the browser or in the app?
Thanks for trying to out
I was at home on my wifi. I played it thru the browser. Paying it thru the app only played it for about a minute. Don't know why it only allowed 480p but it only allow that on my google tv too.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
hmmm the rite is a fairly new movie. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was playing on the web and not on the app. Although that's odd because on YouTube when a video is HD it plays 720. Oh well thanks for answering the posts. Hopefully Google will release the in app video update soon.
On Media Hub is it possible to delete files to free up space? If so will I lose said file, or will I be able to redownload or whatever for free?

I don't think he's asking how to actually delete them, I think he's asking if he downloads a movie can he delete the movie than install it again for free. Since most movies are a whole gb I can understand why people would want to. I believe to can, when you pay and download the movie you actually own that copy which tells me you can delete and install anytime you see fit.

That's exactly what I'm asking. There's a penny deal going on this week and I downloaded a Dave Chapelle episode for a penny, so I think I'll try to delete and redownload. It'd be no big deal if lost since it'll only be a penny to buy back. Thanks for the reply.
Glad to help. Just in case you didn't know or realize, all of your purchases are assigned to your media user name, so you can even install them on a different phone just as long as it has the samsumg media hub and you use your media user name.

Figured it out completely. If you delete an item it stills shows up in the My Media section as watchable but with a download symbol next to it. It stays in your library as simply a placeholder to tell that you own it. And if you want to reinstall you just click the DL button and it's back on your device. Thanks again man, your help was much appreciated.
