Hey guys, I have this expensive pico projector that is crashing on Netflix. Basically what is happening is I am downloading the Netflix App, and I am able to install it, login in, and view movie titles. However when I try to watch the movie the movie hangs on “Loading” and just is stuck in loading. It’s not crashing as I can back out of it – it’s just stuck on loading.
I’ve tried MANY different solutions but I haven’t found the right solution. I’m desperate and willing to PAY for a fix right now. Anyone have any ideas?
Here are pictures of the projector, firmware, hanging on logo, etc.:
Sorry for the image quality! These are just cell-phone snapshots.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
I've tested the projector on different Wifi Networks. The speeds I get are not quite desktop speeds, but acceptable for Netflix buffering. One Wifi Network Ookla Speed Tested at 13mb/s!
I really can't figure this out.

First, I'd like the thank all the developers on this site for the great work they have done. My HTC devices have greatly enjoyed all the upgrades and hacking over the year with all of your help. That said, I'm not a developer, but I am wondering if anyone has had this idea yet.
For those of you who are not familiar with hulu.com, I'd suggest checking it out. hulu is a partnership between NBC and Fox to bring streaming video of their most recent shows to the net. Along with TV shows, they also feature a growing selection of full length movies.
Since there are a handful of ways in which we have been able to get youtube videos to play on our devices, I was wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing with hulu. I'm not sure how anyone would go about this, but thought this could be a starting point for a good discussion on if it is even possible to do.
Any thoughts?
I'd actually be very interested in this as well. Thanks in advance.
Wow! I just signed up for Hulu, and I've been hearing about it from friends and now here, lol! Yeah, it would be awesome to stream this on my Titan.
You can watch Hulu with the Skyfire beta but its a little choppy on 3G
Yeah, I was thinking that myself but you probably can't go fullscreen.
I know you can't on Youtube, anyways.
Hulu DOES work on the newest skyfire beta. But it is rather choppy (youtube works almost 100% now on there.)
But that is only running on a WIFI connection. As I can't seem to get skyfire to connect over 3g or gprs with my rom.
I've been able to use Hulu with Skyfire as well, but it's not easy at all to get to the shows you want and then you have to zoom in just right even to see the video clearly. Oh and it's choppy as hell. A dedicated player may be able to fix all these problems and make the service a deffinite must on your ppc
I watch Hulu videos all the time with skyfire, and they play flawlessly over 3G, and I can navigate the site easily.
Ok, so the people who have access to the Skyfire beta testing can play it on their device (Touch users have to overclock their devices to get smooth video). If we leave it at that, there's no reason for anyone to develop a standalone Youtube Player. But we do have one and I'm sure a lot more people like using that over Skyfire since the interface in much quicker and easier to use.
so... back to the question at hand. Is it possible to make a standalone player?
bump - id also be interested in such a player
Im not sure but, wouldn't you need to get a hold of Flashlite 3 for Windows Mobile before this would be possible since Hulu uses flash 8 or 9?
bump me 2 ***
would b amazing
can't beleive...
...that's been over a year and no atemps where made for a stand alone version of Hulu. that's sad, as I'm no longer able to play Hulu on skyfire any more
My problem is not being able to access it without getting the proxy error. No matter how I connect, Hulu still thinks I'm using a proxy server and won't allow connection because that's how they stop users outside the US from using the service (copyright issues with content providers).
Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but it seemed to be the most appropriate... AFAIK Netflix streaming has never worked on a broadband connection on the island because they're identified as foreign or outside of the continental US or whatever. However, it seems that for Netflix's purpose, a Sprint connection from PR still looks like any other connection from within the US; probably because of the way it's routed. It's kinda odd considering other services like Google Voice can still make the distinction, but I'm sure there's dozens of way to do this filtering (for instance, Tivo also thinks my DVR is in the US if I tether it to my phone).
So what good is any of this knowledge? Well, the Netflix app will stream to your phone just fine over 3G; even tho it'll flash a region warning on wifi. I hear your now tho, what's the point of that? 3G streaming looks pretty bad, specially in areas with low signal where you're lucky to get 400 kbps...
Well, I'm not done, otherwise this post would be rather worthless wouldn't it? Open that oh-so-easily fooled Netflix app (seriously, it took them this long to release an app that merely discriminates amongst phones by build.prop?), start streaming over 3G, turn on Wifi, enjoy the improved quality as the phone starts to stream over Wifi without any location checks. That's all there is to it! I was able to pause and resume after switching to Wifi with no issues. I imagine it might get fixed eventually, or not, but for now it works.
I haven't tested to see if their site is just as easily fooled by a computer tethered to my phone, but since you can't handoff between different connections there quite as smoothly I guess it's kinda moot... I haven't been a Netflix subscriber for very long, just started testing it out. Frankly I'm kinda disappointed in their online catalog of movies and shows, over half the stuff I first searched for wasn't available (Mad Men, How I Met Your Mother, several movies, etc.).
Netflix on my Tivo also works if I tether it to my phone but that's a hassle (on the Tivo's end) and again, Sprint 3G really isn't fast enough for smooth playback, at least where I live (near Buchanan base). Can't wait until 4G is deployed here...
BTW Has anyone tested how Netflix app playback looks on a TV if you output it over HDMI with Full HDMI? I'll probably give it a shot later. Altho I might just drop Netflix and go back to renting off Redbox to be honest.
Workaround for Netflix block
I live in the USVI and we too are blocked from using Netflix. I posted a few articles on my blog though that explains how I've worked around this block:
How to use Netflix streaming, Amazon Instant Video and MP3 from outside the US
Installing DD-WRT mega Build on a Linksys E3000 Router to Run with HMA Pro! VPN Services
I hope these help! I've been happily streaming for quite a while now, it's great.

i would love using hdmi out with netflix!
Well I am from the south of the island and I can tell you with the latest release of it that pretty much shut down the Wifi idea tried it and did not stream at all but for those on the island I recommend an app called sensorly you can get it on the regular market it shows you where you get your signal on a map like Google maps it gives you all the signal ranges and ladies and gents they just recently started to test 4G in two areas only San Juan and ponce and to tell you that the app worked flawlessly is an understatement cause i drove from arroyo to ponce and once I reached the sprint store there I was able to get 4G when I walked into the store asked one of the CS reps and he said they are in the testing faze and once that is done they will do a roll-out with commercials and advertisements so good news for all us island folk so with netflix to be continued...
The netflix app hasn't been updated since I posted this, it should still work... You have to switch from 3G to Wifi once you're already streaming something.

Hi,
have similar issue on g. tab 10.1 , it's buffering and after some time there is information that there was an error.
some movies are still playable..
I just bought my SGT+ tonight (sunday) and noticed the same thing. But I have not spent much time with it yet.
For me nothing worked until this:
tried to clean data restart and so on, till I uninstalled update and now it works. I think they try to implement something so you can't watch from other country as my phone think I'm from US but I'm in Europe or they made really poor app.
Crappy version: 5.1.10
My version: 4.4.11
Hi, I have just bought one of these and for the money it's not so bad. However, i am having problems finding a Youtube apk the will load videos consistently! I have tried a few of apks and at best they will load youtube videos for a few minutes and then it seems they start to hang on loading most videos. Everything else works, there are no crashing problems it just seems like videos either load or they hang for ever? Any suggestions?
Cheers
Hello everyone,
this is my first tablet and I had purchased for play games and watch movies and sports.
I really don't know if this it's happening just to me or if someone else has discovered the same thing. When I install flash player (to see tv on net) in portals of streaming which requires flash player, the navigators doesn't work, the screen display just white.
I really want to love this tablet, but if I can see streaming.. I really dont know what to do...
please help me if anyone knows what can I do to display flash content in this lovely monster..
Flash Player hasn't been supported by Android in quite some time now. It never worked in Chrome. It was only supported by the old Android native browser which is not present on the Shield Tablet.
Just go download the .apk file from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html

What are the sites you are trying to use? I know most streaming sites I use utilize HTML5 and doesn't require flash to work correctly.
Ok I visit drakulastream to watch soccer, and ESPN play, fox sports play
ok I found the solution, I had tried with different browsers and finally it was PUFFIN the one who saved my life.
If you people want to do the same which I want to, so I recommend that you download this browser.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cloudmosa.puffin&hl=es-419
Of course you can search for the free version on the web.
Thanks to all...
