I just got an x10 and I was hoping to be able to listen to death.fm ( http://loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/index.htm ) anyone know how I can do it ?
step by step how i did it...
signed up for and installed appbrain and fast installer at appbrain.com (unncessary...easier to search from computer and keyboard than touchscreen for me)
installed "Fox to Phone" for firefox (unnecessary but saves me from having to type the whole link lol)
installed chrome to phone
installed a online radio ala AppBrain's link (can also be searched and found in the android market)
went to loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/index.htm
right clicked the VLC aacplus link and selected send to phone (can also manually enter 'hxxp://loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/files/show/aacplus-lo.pls' [replace hxxp with http] into a online radio application under "add station")
and it played.

Ya dude you are right, I did make the mistake X_X, didn't even notice.
Thanks mindchild... seems like a ton of work, but I will try it out !
Use the free 'TuneIn Radio' app from the market. It has the station.

I was under the impression that Droid was Verizon's branding of their flagship Android smartphones, regardless of manufacturer.

Ya your right there is the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid ERIS, HTC DROID Incredible, Droid X, and now the Motorola Droid 2.
Verizon uses the term "Droid" (licensed from lucas arts) to help sell their Highe-end android phones and they are the only ones you'll see using the name DROID to sell phones
Verizon has this thing about renaming all the manufatures phones to make it sound better for sales
would you rather buy a Milestone or Droid (identical). one just has a cooler or lamer name LOL
Tune in is awesome but cant see who is playing, sad

That aside though, this does look quite cool.
I want to try that on my x10,can some1 make a flashable zip?

I got an Android phone to get away from the iOS crap, I'd never do that to an Android phone!
looks like MIUI, and WHY u wanna this on a ANDROID PHONE
edit...
BTW the never show the version or some info from the rom
We knew this would be phone specific due to Netflix wanting to ensure content restrictions were in place. The good news, it will be more chip dependent and phones with Snapdragon processors will be first.

OMG. That would be awesome. Go Qualcomm!
CAN'T WAIT!
Well, that's not really saying much without even a hint of a release date.
I read a article were it said newer Qualcomm chips were going to get netflix . I wonder if the evo would qualify .

I'm pretty sure the evo would qualify with it A8 type but too bad htc does not use the newer A9 that would make video playback as good as the iPhone 4 with it's high res screen and does this mean you will need 4g to stream the videos.
Well now unfortunately I just read at Engadget that only the newest Snapdragon chips, not even shipping in any phones yet, would have the capability for Netflix.
Poo Poo on Netflix, Google, and Qualcomm. As usual, the only care about selling NEW phones and could give a crap about anything already shipped.

Welcome to android.
for some reason DRM doesn't bother me when its coming from netflix. Probably because 7.99 a month for streaming is totally reasonable whereas $1-3 per episode of downloadable content is absolutely ridiculous.
Netflix is awesome but it doesnt work on my country.
I would never watch netflix on my phone. Ever.
Ever.
I just listened on Cnet podcast that only next gen snapdragon chips will work, and they aren't shipping until early 2012!!! They also said that it seemed fishy since the iPhone already has it and the chip in the iPhone is not unusual. This is BS, Netflix is drinking the Apple Juice.
BOYCOTT NETFLIX ANDROID USERS!!
Even if Netflix was available, I doubt my phone would even have the horsepower to run it (moto droid 1, unrooted), so I guess they are just trying to make sure it is a positive experience for those users. That, or they are trying to avoid the fragmentation issue, or only available in gingerbread or later...
I would rather wait until I upgrade my phone to make sure the app works as good as possible.
I have playon.tv on my desktop to stream stuff to my roku but they came out with an android app in the market and it allows you to watch netflix and hulu on your android device, assuming you let the desktop app run.
From what i understand, the android app goes to your actual pc where it gets the videos and converts it to an android compatible stream. I tried it and it worked fine. Not a free app but you can try the trial.

I just saw a video on Engadget stating that The netflix app need PRE-INSTALLED keys on a snapdragon chip. And if thee keys arent installed by OEM you cant play netflix on the phone.
Way to go Android!!
I guess iphone has had the keys for a year now! Wow Steve Jobs has these companys by the balls!
Fragmentation sux!!! Now im second guessing getting the thunderbolt.
The TB isn't even out yet so don't make assumptions, besides I'm sure it still possible in the long run
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Check the video on engadget. Also the app is months away. So it 100% the keys arent installed. The guy in the video clearly states that the HTC EVO cant do Netflix!
HUGE BUMMER!!! Windows Phone 7 has netflix and with a 00001% user base but android doesnt???
Come on man!!

The app not being out yet has nothing to do with the keys being installed or not. Qualcom has stated that there chips will support Netflix, not sure where you are getting that the keys will "100% not be installed".
Also the chip in the EVO is completely different from the one in the TB. The TB has the 2nd Gen SnapDragon. So the EVO not being able to do Netflix has nothing to do with the TB being able to do it or not.
The problem with Android is it may be less secure, you know with people hacking apps and flash, help we have hulu for free on Android because of it so maybe netflix is a bit weary

I remember a quote saying that qualcomm chips would be the first to see Netflix on android. I imagine it's possible that they've been installing the required keys on the latest processors, but that kind of forward-thinking benevolence doesn't seem very realistic, unfortunately.

I would think though that they have been talking about this since it was in development, this has probably been in development for a year or two at least. I don't think Netfix is going to release an app for android without the phones to support it. That would be horrible for business, you would want the most amount of people possible to be able to use your product.
Its the fragmentation and Androids unwillingness to protect The DEV's products with DRM and such
What is the big issue with hulu and netflix? Surely there are alternate places to get your TV show fix since we have flash enabled, right?
i am on the iphone 4 but looking to get the thunderbolt or bionic and this is one of the reasons i dont want to switch yet i know its a small reason but i'd rather love the phone than like it
According to the spec sheet, I picked up today from Verizon, VOD will include Blockbuster.
Netflix only requires DRM security on the chipset which the TB has. However, I dont think Froyo supports DRM as the DRM SDK/API is only available on Gingerbread and Honeycomb. I dont know if there's a software work-around for this though. I'd expect the TB to have Gingerbread by summer and Netflix is still a few months out from release anyhow... plenty of time...
Actually i think netflix streams a video........blockbuster app downloads it then plays it. I had it on my droid x....you pay per flick..... its not a monthly thing.... Complete garbage and the wait was horrible.
CHOPES: That's not the issue. Absolutely there are other places which are...dubious at best. The issue is that Android (meaning Google) doesn't want to stand up to the MPAA who are putting pressure on Netflix to make sure the environment is locked down against all us "thieves" out there. ;-)
It's the same attitude that linux users, myself included, have to battle all the time. Just because we choose to use an OS that's not there's and some people have busted their copy protection that means all of us will do that.
I'd blame delays in the software development as much as on the handset development. I would sure hope that ANY 4G phone would be capable of streaming Netflix eventually even if they currently aren't.

I would agree that once the software is sorted out the TB oughta be able to do it. this article http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/16/lg-revolution-dumps-tegra-2-chooses-1ghz-snapdragon-msm8655-ins/ says that lg used the Revolution as their phone to demo Netflix, AND it is using the exact same Snapdragon (MSM8655) that's in the Thunderbolt, so it seems to me that the Thunderbolt should have the DRM stuff in the chipset too .

1) This isn't just a phone, "it's your phone after your next phone" -- couldnt resist, sorry....
2) Some people come in here and laugh at people who want to play games on their "phone" and say that's what a PSP or DS is for....
Really, it isn't just a "phone" or everyone here, including you, would own a standard flip phone. We buy and pay for these phones to get the MOST that we can out of them. We want a do-it-all phone... or at least the best that current tech can provide.
10 years ago, people were paying $200+ for portable 4-5" TV players.
With all your posts, I cant believe you'd come crashing into this thread so harsh-like.

but I thought that the only thing that would support Netflix's DRM was DRM HARDWARE? Thus, anything using Netflix would need to use a new chipset developed for that DRM?
I'd love to see a real Netflix apk for the Epic.

Yes a bounty would do the trick
I don't really know what I'm talking about but I don't see how this would work considering you are connecting to the netflix servers where they run drm checks. This isn't like a swype apk where once it's cracked and ported that's it. The server would be constantly checking (and updating?) to insure the devices streaming from its servers are legit.
Just my 2 cents, same reason it's so hard to keep hacked clients running on official game servers.

Not gonna work. Hardware requirements will NOT be met on the Epic.
Ya, it's pretty much impossible.
Whatever you need to do to get it to actually work would probably be illegal.
for hardware, the epic can easily run netflix, even the Evo can. the iphone 4 runs netflix and it has identical hardware specs to the epic and all windows phone 7 devices have netflix and they have the same specifications as the evo.
I guess we will have to see if it will be done now...

You are misunderstanding, it isn't a matter of hardware performance but rather having a DRM enabled processor. Currently Qualcomm makes the only version of these available for Android phones, none of which are available to the public yet. Although I do believe the Thunderbolt may have one...

Netflix requires some type of hardware encryption. Samsung has mentioned future phones will support it. But not current ones I guess. So I agree. It won't be on the eppic..sadly. But Hulu Plus might.
i know somebody will find a flaw in this but what if we fooled the windows phone 7 app to think that we are windows 7 phones. with a lot of porting it should atleast work on the old quallcom procceres because all windows phone 7 phones have it
It has nothing to do with windows phone 7. We don't have a processor that meets the hardware encryption.

FWIW, Playon has released their app for Android now, and you can watch Netflix/Hulu/CBS/etc on the Epic with pretty good resolution.
Of course, you do have to pay for it and have a Windows server system, but it does work pretty well.

Anyone with a windows machine could run netflix and watch it through RDP on their phone. Only problem is the best RDP app for android doesn't work worth a damn, and its $20.

Well, there are 2 problems with RDP and netflix,
first there is too much lag, you cant see the video except for individual frames, and netflix won't allow you to view using RDP. Try it and see what happens. You will get an error from netflix that says you cannot view using remote desktop.....

Actually, the processor in our Epic, the S5PC110, has "TrustZone technology for secure transactions and DRM" per the S5PC110_EVT1_UM10.pdf
I'm guessing if Netflix really wanted to they could use the DRM in our processor already for their purposes. Reading the CPU spec sheet it seems that it is fully capable of having a protected area for Netflix to run their DRM routines.
