Netlix App

[ssanders]

Does anyone know what the hardware specs are for the Netflix app and why the Samsung Galaxy S phones can't use the new Netflix app.

It will probably be rolled out to our phones - the issue is the DRM under Android and seems to be a phone by phone release as they have to tailor the software for each phone. Hands-on with Netflix for Android (video) -- Engadget

The article I read said it was a hardware related. Netflix slowly churns onto Android | TG Daily

There are people who are using the Netflix app on the Gingerbread ROMs on the Captivate already. Look up XDA and get some!

@AndroidSPCS:

I am running Cognition 4.1.1 running Froyo. Is it looking like Gingerbread is the big requirement for Netflix to stream movies?

I installed APK, and the app works great until I try to stream. Will this be waht prompts me to go Gingerbread?

Yes you should try Phoenix Mosaic II ROM - it's pretty stable from what I've read. I just moved to the Phoenix ROM but am going to try the Mosaic II ROM when I get a chance to reflash.

what rom are you using?

 

[robbykoenig]

Flash to Mosaic II went without a hitch. Love the rom in general for its speed and clean interface, but I was hoping I'd be able to stream flix in Netflix now. Still says I'm an unsupported device.

Any ideas?

I downloaded gr 12 & then downloaded the netflix app from xda themes & apps and its working seamlessly....it looks like you have to have gingerbread for it to work

I did the same, on GR 12 and Netflix works perfectly fine on both wifi and on towers.

So you need to be rooted or on a legit version of Gingerbread to run this?

 

[robbykoenig]

Okay, not sure what the problem is. Now I've flashed GR 12, and MY netflix app is still not streaming!

What is going on here??
