Root Has anybody found the Leaked Netflix App

[artcloud]

Oh no I agree with ya brother. I just think it would be awesome if we could get Netflix going.

Thats one of the only 2 things that dissapoint me by this phone. That and Flash.
No big deal I can be content till that day comes.

Thanks for the input.

I can deal without flash. Lets hope that NetFlix is just telling a big lie about the DRM libraries on specific processors, or that one of our awesome devs can create a software workaround for those DRM requirements if it is actually true!

Even if it did somehow work, I just couldn't get into watching a movie on a screen the size of my Ally and battery drain would probably be real bad to.

It'd work great for me in the car with the kids. I already listen to Pandora/Last.FM through the car speakers, why not a movie too?

awwww come on ya big stick in the mud. LOL

Actually this may sound lame to a bunch of ya...
Who knows maybe it is. LOL

My wife and I watch Netflix all the time on her laptop while in bed before we go to sleep. That at the moment is the only way we can watch netflix.

But on occasion I wanna watch somthing differnt.
I know Shocking.... A husband and wife not agreeing on what to watch....
Its shameful really. LOL

Nah anyway it would just be cool. One of those stupid things you dont need but you want it anyway. You know kinda like that Tattoo you have that says MOM or Idunno a Leeping Leperachan or somthing.

Yeah its one of those things.

UPDATE: It looks like Netflix has caught on to all of us trying it... It doesn't seem you can login anymore (well at least for me) I keep getting the dreaded The Login Time Out error..... I wonder when the punishment will be over I want to try this bad boy


UPDATE again..... It appears netflix is down.... HEHE don't you all just love technology

This is not going to work for any phone without DRM built in.

Netflix cant even stream to Linux for what ever reason, mostly because Moonlight(Oracles version of the microsoft silverlight). I highly doubt that someone will port drm over phones if they can't port from a Linux driven machine such as the Wii or PS3. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Afteraffekt]

Wii, and PS3 both have netflix, and Linux can have Netflix, if you do tinkering.

 

[swc2001]

Will requare the DRM to run it, if we can get that, then maybe

Afteraffekt what can you do with these files made by DavehasNinjas on the XDA Forum?

com.netflix.mediaclient.apk

DrmProvider.apk


Heres the link to the XDA Forum.
Netflix.apk from LG Revolution system dump - Page 3 - xda-developers

It seems like I heard somewhere that Netflix will not be up until june. Dont know where that source is though.

Here is an article that stated that NetFlix briefly brought up the servers on the 23rd of March.

Unauthorized Netflix app now working on Android [update -- not any longer] | Android Central

People posted that the Evo, DInc, G2, Captivate, N1, etc. were sucessfully streaming. What was funny was that HTC's newest phone on Verizon, the Thunderbolt, was reporting DRM errors.

By any luck, did anyone try this out on their Ally on the 23rd of March??

 

[Vol4One]

So, I went to Appbrain.com and saw that the Netflix app is available now. Unfortunately, I can't get it on my Ally because, I'm guessing, it's not compatible. Any of the devs wanna take a shot at getting it working on the Ally? Would be cool to have it working.

 

[death2all110]

Netflix is working on trying to get it to run on more than just the 5 devices that its available for right now.

 

[Vol4One]

Cool. Maybe the Ally will be one of them. Thanks for the info!

 

[jaturner]

You can try this, maybe you will have more luck than I did when I tried. Perhaps our velocity team could look into it as well.

Netflix workaround

 

[Valkerie]

The build.prop trick works for my nook color. I tried on the Ally last night to no avail. Have a few more tricks to try though.

 

[Vol4One]

Yeah. I tried logging into the leaked app and it would just close the app. Didn't FC, just closed. Oh well. No biggie.

 

[zoomnet]

* The Netflix app runs on these phones:
1. HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
2. HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
3. HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
4. HTC G2 with Android 2.2
5. Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3

 

[cr5315]

I just tried to edit the build.prop file to make the Ally think it's a G2 and a Nexus S and neither worked. The Ally doesn't get Netflix until some clever xda folks figure out how to make it work on every Android.
If I could get the build.prop's of the other three phones I can try with them too.

Well, doesnt it require flash anyway?

This article says to make the device "HTC Vision" of "Nexus S". So you may try the vision. I would like to know if it works!

How to Install Netflix on Almost Any Android Device

 

[savoxis]

So my boss has a DroidX, wanted netflix, installed, opens, says incompatible phone. He is not rooted and doesnt want to so no netflix for him.


The reason I bring this up?
On the allies I have tried the farthest I can get is a black screen... IDK how far you guys are getting, but I cant even get it to go to the spot where it verifies your phones model. On top of this as I mentioned earlier, Netflix would need flash or silverlight, neither will run on the ally. Dont get me wrong I would love to have netflix on the ally, I just think we are getting carried away. If you take a step back and think it doesnt look good for our device + netflix
