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.

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/

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.
Just saw this and dont have my transformer with me. Can anyone confirm if this will work on our devices?

Doesn't seem worth testing. Just use tv listings app from Market. Time Warner app doesn't stream live unless you are on an iPad.
Which is why I've never bothered with the XFinity TV app, they only support *real* watching on an iOS device.

I installed the app and registered. It works, but the above post is correct. It's easier to use the set top box. If I'm not at my TV, what do I care what is on?
It does, however, allow you to view your shows set up to record, and to set shows to record. While that may be occasionally useful, I'll probably forget I have that capability and never use it.
No pooint if they don't suppose live streaming right? I just checked, it's available on the market, but I don't wanna download a stupid and useless app..

that problem has happened a few times already. only choice is to wait and see.
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)

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.

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?
I recently pulled the Wired Magazine .apk from a cousin's Kindle Fire, and have found that it works well on the Nexus 7, and presumably other tablets. The current version is ̶2̶.̶7̶.̶0̶.̶1̶1̶.̶6̶0̶2̶0̶1̶ 2.9, and the only downside is that it seems like the magazine itself does not fill the entire screen while in viewing mode.
Some prerequisites:
-both Adobe Air and the Amazon Appstore must be installed (you must be logged in, too) for the app to function
-if you have an ad blocker installed, you must add any any websites that include adobe to your whitelist. Mine included "broker.adobe.com" and "stats.adobe.com". This might not be necessarily, but it is a good precaution. If you ignore this and the app crashes, uninstall it and add them.
Just install the app normally after checking the first two things. Also, you must have already purchased the magazines (at least in my testing). If you have a print subscription, I would advise creating your account on a computer, not in the app.

The Kindle Fire HD is the same screen resolution, but the regular Kindle Fire is not. It's 1024x600 vs 1280x800, a short coming of ~200 pixels in each direction. This could explain the black edges. Maybe it defaults to the 1024x600 resolution unless it sees some indication of being on a Fire HD (ie: build.prop or other file). If so, I imagine there could be a fix for this to mimic the HD and get the full resolution.
OR, Wired could just release the damn app for all Android platforms. :silly:

I think you're right, but I unfortunately don't have access to a Fire HD. I think they use different versions on each different model, so that might be why. That is a complete guess, through.

Yeah, F* that. Wired will give a free interactive digital issue to iPad and Kindle owners, but charge existing subscribers extra for some crappy PDF version that I could download for free from a number of places.
If Wired doesn't change it's tune, I'm planning on cancelling once my current subscription is over - just on principle.

I used to get this error on my Nook Color but was able to successfully ignore it. Make sure you have the Amazon App store installed, logged in and updated. I think you also need Adobe Air. If you haven't already, "purchase" the Wired app in the Amazon app store via the web. It won't let you download the app and will say your device isn't compatible, but maybe it will get rid of the ownership message. I'm guessing here, so no promises this will fix anything.
Still not working on my n7. I've gotten it to work on my cm7 nook color, but I've tried everything on my n7. I've even re-installed the amazon app store and adobe air. I've also tried the previous version of the wired magazine apk. I get everything to install and open normally, I just can't log in to download my subscriptions. Anyone have any other suggestions?
The messed up thing about this is that it was a wired article that I was reading on my nook color that made me want to upgrade to the n7.

Make sure you disable any ad blocking software or changes made to your hosts file to block ads. This prevents you from logging in to the app.

If you have Adobe Air installed, then I don't know what you can do. Try uninstalling Air and the Wired, and then re-install them. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Wired doesn't offer ANY support so you're just out of luck.
