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!
I am10 minutes into Hall Pass, playing right out of the app, tethered to my iPhone while in the car. This is super sweet.

so does it work or what can someone else please test the apps ability to play.
Ok I rented "The rite". I was able to play it in the browser and in the video app. Only at 480p though.

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.
Hey,
Today I was really tired and needed some sleep in class, so I recorded my maths class if I needed it later while I slept. I recorded it in 1080p so it would be easier to read the stuff on the board. But when reviewing it I noticed the longer into the video I watched the more out of sync the audio became, until eventually it looked like she was miming. Also there was some flickering sort of thing going on, I don't know if this is normal since I'm no expert on cameras.

How long are ur videos?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I have some of the same issue, mainly the video flickering. I've used VLC and the stock player but both without any success. I watch a lot of stuff in 1080p with both video players without any problem so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the player. I have also noticed that regardless of the lenght I have the same problem and that if I transfer the video to a different system the video plays fine (even through a web brouser). So I tried to disable all the syncs and autoupdates and increased the preformnce to the maximum but without any improvements. When I first got the tablet everything worked flawlessly. Is it an update issue?
Thanks for any suggestions.
I just updated the latest version of Netflix released a few days ago saw a noticeable in increase in usability/smoothness. Has anyone else noticed this with the latest version? Prior to this update it was very choppy and slow to use, but now it is at least bearable.
Note: I do have "Force GPU Rendering" enabled under Developer Options, but I've had that enabled the whole time (with the previous version as well)

Same here, I even disabled "Force GPU Rendering" and its working great. I had to launch the app a couple of times and after which its smooth as butter. :good:

I have it running on my xbox if its running on the 5ghz connection. I would guess that not having that option on the infinity is why we won't see 1080p.
I notice they took out the giant Play button from the centre of the screen when paused. I used to really like that, but I can see why they moved it.

No, I haven't. Is this something that happens immediately or does it take time to show up?
Yeah i notice the improvement, now I can look for movies by view like laptops and jellybean devices.

Happens immediately. Tried using Force GPU Rendering, changing wifi settings, reinstalling, and all combinations in between. It just refuses to sync. Video is always a split second behind. I never really have time to watch anything anyway, but, it would be nice for it to actually work when I want.

Are you using any 3rd party volume or sound enhancers from the Play Store, such as Volume+ or Equalizer? If so, try disabling them.
Also does this happen with Youtube?
Just curious if anyone else has seen the option menu in Netflix to "Play on Google TV" when selecting a movie. I can't actually get it to play on my Google TV, it just spins a while and then says the device is no longer on the network. Still, I'm curious if anyone else has seen the feature show up, and if anyone has gotten it to work.
Yes, I get this option.
I've never got it to work from the tab, but it works from my GNex...

I have never had it work for me either. Same results as you. I have two Revue Google TV units, and tried disabling one, just to see if it would recognize it but nothing. The YouTube app works beautifully for this same kind of transfer, so it seems that it must be an app issue with Netflix, or perhaps it just works with other varieties of Google TV, but no the Revue. Strange that it has gone on for several months without more attention.

On my GNex, the Android/Google TV option appears only when the phone is connected to the charger, and on WiFi to the local LAN. It looks like Netflix wisely is protecting us from unnecessary battery drain during extended operaitons.

Not for me. Works every time I try and play from my GNex - charger or not. (Needs to be on same Wi-Fi)

Interesting. When you say it works, do you mean you actually plays to your Google TV? I'm using a Revue, with a VZW GN, which is on OS 4.2.1
UPDATE: After more experimenting, I found that I was wrong in my earlier comment that the option displays only with the charger attached. It just does it sometimes, and sometimes not - I don't know what makes the difference. In any case, even when the option appears, and I select Google TV, it doesn't successfully direct video to it.

GNex lets me select GoogleTV and watch on the Revue.
Infinity lets me select GoogleTV, but it never actually starts playing...
Cool. But why would you do this if you already have netflix onc your google tv. Its just tying up you phone IMO.

Not really. At least if it works similar to the YouTube app. You don't really tie up the phone - you just are telling Google TV what programming to play, but the program data stream isn't through the phone. You have the convenience of navigating on your phone or tablet to find what you want to play. The Netlix version isn't workng for me, but I use the YouTube version all of the time. It's hugely convenient. I can trigger off a program, then exit the app and do whatever on it until I want to change the program/

It sounds google play mean it is for android market google play App Store but have not seen play on googole tv because Im aware that apple has Apple TV. I may be overlooking if google has its own tv but beleive it is intending for android devices

It is the standard behavior and the limitation of Android stock browser. Any flash-based streaming services running in the stock browser will stop working the moment you switch to another tab or another app. With Chrome, audio streaming service will still work in the background, so you might want to avoid videos.
Ok, thanks
