Anyone out there streaming Netflix movies on your HD2? If so, how?
I would love to know this too... +1
If i knew how to even look at going about doing this i would learn and develop it. This would be a killer app!!! especially on our yummy 4.3 inches of pure awesomeness
There has got to be a way.. if we can watch previews, and adjust our Qs.. there has to be a way to steeem the movies to our phones.
Any dev want take this and run with it?
You'd need a mobile Silverlight player in a shell that tricks Netflix into thinking you're on an approved browser.
that would be sooo sick... i was so upset at the partnership t-mobile or htc made with blockbuster... i mean that's a dying company on the verge of bankruptcy... why??!! Netflix would've been the best choice... and it would've rocked my socks off
this would be the best app ever.
maybe just a hulu player that allows full selection.
I know they have netflix app for WP7
6.5 is not going to be getting silverlight
i wish someone would some how come out with app that lets u stream netflix.then it'll b fun to carry around a 4.3 inch screen phone.hehe

Maybe not. I'm running Firefox on my Win7 machine and to the best of my recollection, I haven't upgraded to SilverBlight despite the frequent nags. So there's gotta be a way, no?
HD2 and Netflix
My HD2 was rocking the netflix better than my wii and xbox the listings where fab but sadly after not checking for a few days i went to log onto my NF and watch some movies as i was sitting at the DR office to find...... there is a new version and you must upgrade...... then upgrade not found retry or exit
@ DraksFangs Do you have Netflix running on android or windows 6.5???

Must be Android. There is no working Netflix for Winmo. I had Neflix on my HD2 through Android too, and yes, since two weeks ago it keeps telling me new version, must upgrade and then, not found.
WinMo, no. But WP7 has it. I had it runing on my WP7 HD2, but I came back to Android and found out my Netflix app no longer works. Boooo
MyPlayer on the Android market allows downloading of the HQ video streams used by iPhone and iPod Touch through the Safari browser, however on hi res, big screened devices like the Galaxy Tab these downloads look pretty crappy. You can also download a DRM encrypted file from the BBC iPlayer Mobile site but this is also pretty rubbish.
I know that the iPad stream is fantastic quality and just wondered if anyone knew if it is possible to access this stream, or if any developers are working on a means of doing so.
It seems a shame that online videos seem tailored to the iPad but not Android tablets: even Android's own YouTube app doesn't have streams in the same high resolution as the one built into iPad.

It's early days yet. I'm an android developer by profession and am focusing on the Galaxy Tab as a primary target alongside the iPad for our applications. In my spare time it's possible I'll write some exclusively for the tab.
Is it possible then? Or is the iPad stream encrypted?
I look forward to development for Galaxy Tab, I don't normally leap in and buy cutting-edge devices at full price, just hoping I haven't made a mistake with the Galaxy Tab.

I wouldn't think it's a waste. I was bought mine purely because we intent do develop for it, we're just one company but I'm sure there are others like ours.
As for the stream, I have never looked into the video stuff, I don't see why the right app couldn't just get the normal youtube HD vids down.
I find it extremely irritating that the BBC has decided that they only support Android via flash yet fruit themed devices get dedicated apps (and so do Blackberries as an aside!).

Dave

I agree, this is irritating, but we do still have Flash unlike the fruit themed devices

Personally I don't think there is much to offer, but you can try Crackle. Also see http://www.crackle.com/ for more info. The plus side is that it's free.
Hi everyone,
Do any of you in the UK with a Motorola Xoom have the option to rent HD versions of films from the newly released (to the UK) Movies section of the Android Market?
I cannot see HD versions of movies on my Samsung Galaxy S2, (I want to play them back via MHL/HDMI to my TV screen), but I am not sure if this is because:
HD movies aren't available to the Galaxy S2 or;
HD movies aren't available to the UK yet
The article on the Android Market here suggests that the Motorola xoom can rent HD movies, so I wondered if someone in the UK who has a Xoom could kindly check and see if you have an HD rental option in the Android Market.
That way I would know if it was a geographical restriction (UK) or a hardware restriction (Galaxy S2).
Thanks very much for your time.
James
No one in the UK has a Xoom?
I have one, running 3.1 no option /tab in the market for movies, at this pointing it does appear will post back!
Thanks. That's a shane you don't have the option yet, but thanks for taking the time to look.
Bump! Anyone?
UK XOOM . No movie option.
UK Xoom, no movies yet.
Canadian Xoom here, I can see the movie links but cannot rent or purchase.
hijacked?
UK movies available here using market 3.1.6 however cannot rent movies because device is rooted and so will not play rented videos.
I am considering purchasing the Tab 2 10.1 and have been reading reviews but haven't come across anything regarding streaming media from the network sites like ABC and CBS. Can anyone tell me how well the Galaxy handles this? I'm also wondering how well the Netflix app runs. Thanks!
Anything you can do on previous Android devices you will be able to do on this tablet. So I would assume that you can.
Well I have a Transformer Prime currently but it constantly reboots when streaming so that's why I'm curious about the Galaxy. Prior to the Prime I had an iPad.
No problems streaming here
I have been able to stream movies from HBO.com, amazon instant videos, and other various websites with no problems... I think as long as you have adobe flash installed it should be fine. I love my new galaxy tab 2 10.1, I was thinking about getting an iPad but am a huge Android OS fan and the new ICS is amazing in tablet form... Its definitely a worth while purchase... I primarily use mine to watch movies and TV either through streaming or downloaded movies and I have no complaints...
Well the netflix app runs flawlessly. It's one of the most used apps on my tab. I haven't streamed through any other apps all though i have installed Hulu and it appears to work as well.
Hulu Plus works great, as does Crackle.

Streaming is the big reason I have ordered Gtab 2 p5113--should be arriving tomorrow. I love my amazon prime videos and can't use it on the "other" device which makes me cranky. Very excited!!
yes, for sure!
And for iptv streams i'm using ITPV application from market
Amazon Prime streams like a champ! Yeah!!
