Ok so i know im a noob moron so maybe you guys can tell me. Do you think the nook color rooted when we get flash will be able to play netflix movies or is the hardware just to low end?

Netflix does not use flash. Netflix uses Silverlight.
There is not a Netflix app out for android either.

Unless an official app is released, it just won't happen.
Orb Live
I believe Orb is working on a port of their new app for Android, I use it for Netflix and Hulu content on my iPhone that I wouldn't normally be able to watch (Hulu content that hasn't been licensed for mobile, mostly). It's possible that after they get the app going for Android that you'll be able to watch Netflix content via it's interface.
The only downside is that I believe you have to have access to your PC that has the orb caster software installed (it does the actual rendering and casting of the video to your mobile device). As it sits right now, I can't watch Hulu content without being in wireless range of my computer.
Wait, I have orb to watch TV with on my nook and iPhone, how do you set it up for Netflix?
until they square away DRM for Netflix and Android - don't expect it - it migh be awhile although i read somewhere that Netflix is working on an Android app
One of the new phones at CES had a netflix app... so, as they say in Spaceballs "When will then be now???? Soooooooooon"

Playon.tv also handles Netflix, but their android client isnt out yet
There is a handset coming with Netflix preloaded, I don't know what is in the app though, I would assume playback is possible in the future. Also, there are other options such as Videos5 and a Hulu hack for when Froyo/2.3 rolls out.
you need to have the orb controller, which I believe is only available on iPhone, though I haven't checked the market lately to find out if it's available for Android yet.
The Netflix app for Android is out there. Its on the LG Revolution. Someone needs to get a copy of it.
Just need to confirm if that is a streaming app or just a scheduling app

A work around
The way you can work around this is easy to do, but will run you some $$$.
First, get a Slingbox.
Second, you need a TiVo XL or something the slingbox can control. The slingbox needs to control a device using netflix. The TiVo XL has netflix built into it.
Third, get the Slingbox app for your android phone. I was watching tons of movies @ the gym.
slingbox you say...hahaha. off to shop.
save money and get it from ebay. i've seen the slingbox hd for $229 there. @bestbuy, $299 + tax. all slingbox does is redirect what your looking and shoots it over the internet (ie... your phone being on the net and for the love of god, if you have ATT with data caps, it will run you). i used my slingbox app yesterday and was watching king of the hill. i'm in the military (in GA for school) and my TiVo is in KS. Technically when i deploy, i can use my nook off a wireless internet connection in iraq and watch tv as is live and with netflix.

I am pretty sure it is streaming, I know this came out a few months ago for Verizon I believe, not positive though. I just know that I had a Netflix scheduling app for my g1 and was jealous when a streaming app was released. This all of course is based on memory so I could be very wrong.

I found the Netflix apk that leaked today. I am in no way a dev, just a very thankful direction follower. The app functions beautifully, (recently watched, instant que, browse) the only thing not working is the most important streaming. It attempts then pulls error (1005) can not connect to server. Hopefully there is a work around. http://lts.cr/TY5, thanks to phandroid for the link.

But the PlayOn app requires you to pay for their services on top of having a Netflix acct. So not worth it in my opinion. Though I did download and try it for the trial period. Was very cool. But I stand by my feelings on the matter. =p

The PlayOn app, IMHO, is a much better app for now and to replace the Netflix app when and if it works for all android phones. I am using PlayOn, I can watch Netflix, HULU, all sorts of other stuff and stream whatever is on my PC at home. This is great when I record a show on my PC, it is available for me to watch. I bought the lifetime membership for $80. I think that is cheap when compared to the access and entertainment I get in return. Not to mention that your carrier will not be happy with the amount of data used to watch movies. I have an "unlimited" plan and my data rate has been limited due to the carrier feeling I use too much. So after a few movies the app is worthless as it will not stream well and always buffer if your carrier is unhappy with your usage. This happened to me on WP7 and with playon on android. Why any company would put the time and effort into developing something that can't be used is beyond me. Wifi is jot an issue however, if I am able to connect to wifi I am usually somewhere I would have my laptop. Then why would I watch a Netflix movie on my phone?
found a solution...not really
my solution is to dual boot android and wp7....ha....im only using wp7 for the netflix app and it only took like a half hr to set everything up....and it was easy to do with the videos and such......yay netflix on my hd2 and it works way faster than streaming online websites.....you could tell i really wanted netflix to work.....and now i have dual boot also....so win win i guess.....i love this phone

Channel surfing doesn't work anymore last time I checked or did you find a new site?
The reason why cable companies put all attention on ipad is because its where the money is. Sad but true.
Honeycomb its just one month old give it time.
When or even if Honeycomb tablets blow up out of no where and surpass the iPad in tablet marketshare (or whatever) then attention will be given to Android tablets. Until then, "Deal with it." Or.. y'know, get an iPad.
I work for comast, we will have a streaming app soon for iPad also but we are working on a honeycomb version also. Hope that helps
fwiw, dish network's streaming sling app for phones works perfectly in honeycomb.
Cablevision iO app is coming to android in the Summer apparently (along with remote control features built into the app).. I am anxiously waiting on this app too..
Hulu Plus comes to Android officially, but its not supported on the ThunderBolt
but yet, the Inspire 4G is a device that is supported. Why is it that we keep getting shunned on this great phone? First Netflix and now Hulu, the only one I care about out of the two is Hulu!!
I would rather have an official app than a hacked browser mod that runs like an app.
Any thoughts on having a fingerprint mod for the ThunderBolt to change fingerprint at will when needed?

The good thing about hulu is that its free (not hulu plus) and you can watch most shows a day after they air unlike waiting a year after they air to get the dvd from netflix.
hulu plus==waste of my time.
a hulu app (found in some dInc ROMs) that actually has content in app & doesn't require going to the website-----THAT is what gets my interest.
i don't need an app that requires 7.99/month
Yes, I got Hulu Plus for a while, and after a quick month unsubscribed. They "Constantly add new Hulu Plus content" by removing it, waiting a week, and re-adding it as "new." (at least this is how it ran last fall).
The free stuff on Hulu is mostly what I watch anyway; Top Chef, American Dad/Family Guy, House, etc.
I found that just going to hulu.com has been working just fine for me, though.
Hulu Plus broadcasts in HD/HQ, while Hulu doesn't. As far as Hulu vs. Netflix, the Hulu movie selection is almost non-exsistant (just an outrageous number of pot documentaries), but the TV shows selection is widening slowly. They do put the shows up days after air though, which is nice.
I use hulu plus over cable... Less commercials, most of the good tv shows, no need for dvr.
Only major downfall? No sports.

Installed it on my NeoTV Prime and it works great with YouTube videos cast from my Samsung Galaxy S3.
EDIT: Well egg on my face. Seems it was not CheapCast that was sending YouTube to my NeoTV Prime. YouTube will cast to my NeoTV Prime without CheapCast even installed. If anyone has Netflix and NeoTV Prime could you confirm this as working for you?
EDIT. The new update to CheapCast will not run on NeoTV Prime. Causes Force Close.
Waiting on Chrome Tab support now.
EDIT. Chrome can see any device that I have CheapCast running on (Galaxy Tab 2.7 and MK802IIIs) and both respond to a Cast from Chrome but nothing plays and Chrome errors out shortly. Both the Tab and MK802IIIs are running the updated CheapCast.
EDIT. I can cast YouTube video from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7 to my MK802IIIs most of the time. Sometimes complains about taking too long to play but for the most part works OK>

Emulate a chromecast on other android devices.
Since it's beta I figure you want feedback. Here is my setup: Source: Galaxy Note 2. Server: Galaxy Tab 10.1
I started sending a YouTube video. It started but after 20 seconds I got a continual spinning circle on both the source and server.
So, I shut down the server app on the tablet by pressing the stop server button. However, even though it was shutdown on the tablet it would play that 20 seconds of YouTube over and over again. I couldn't figure out where it was playing. It didn't show up in the app, it didn't show up in the YouTube app, nowhere. I could just hear that video playing in the background. I finally reboot the tablet to stop it.

Think it through. Most of us have an extra, old Android phone laying around. Just buy a $5 MHL cable and connect to your TV. Now you have a Chromecast for $5. If nothing else, it will hold you over until Amazon gets them back in stock.

It depends on your usage scenario.
For instance, I have an old Android phone plugged into the aux input on a stereo, which I use to stream music. The phone is less-than-accessible, so it'd be great to be able to control it remotely from my phone.
In my living room, I have an old Google TV (The Revue), which Google isn't going to be adding support for casting to. Being able to queue up music and such from my phone would be nice, but what will be nicer is when apps that don't have Google TV versions add Chromecast support. HBO Go, for instance. I think that's the place this helps the most, allowing you to use phone/tablet media apps on older Google TV devices, and some backwards compatibility scenarios (Imagine HBO Go only supports Jellybean, and your tablet can only run Ice Cream Sandwich).
Imagine having this app on something like a Kindle Fire, where it might allow you to stream media from an application that's unavailable in your sandbox (which is really the same situation as Google TV and outdated versions of Android).
Also, considering Chromecast can be added to iOS, imagine there are apps available only for iOS that support Chromecast. You could use this to get whatever they provide onto an Android device. Essentially, it's useful in a number of various situations where (1) the target device doesn't support something your phone does (2) the target device is less accessible than your phone is (3) the target device is more visible than your phone is.
Heck, it's even somewhat useful to be able to send media to a tablet without having to pick the tablet up. I have a Nexus 7 sitting in a stand, plugged into the charging cable, paired with some Bluetooth headphones. The charging cable on the Nexus 7 is very, very short, so I have to unplug the device every time I pick it up. So, there's some small convenience to be had even in the phone-to-tablet scenario.

EXACTLY! I only got one Chromecast before they were sold out. But I have an Android stick/dongle on the other TV. By turning that on, I can cast to it OR the Chromecast on the other TV. Can't wait to try it!
I am curious if this emulator is hindered by the same API restrictions as the actual Chrome Cast? If not, that would make this very interesting.
I am guessing it will probably be hindered instead by lack of proprietary binaries... Netflix and so on. It should be easy to support non-Google-approved features like what Koush has been working on, though.

In my opinion the nice thing would be to have the ability to cast content instead of stream content.
What I mean is that aside from sending a movie from our phone/tablet/computer to the "cheapcasted device" (streaming), it would be nice to open a movie on netflix/youtube/vimeo/ on our phone/tablet/computer and tell the "cheapcasted device" tablet to download it directly from the servers of the video site (without needing to stream anything from one device to another)
Can anyone confirm whether Cheapcast used UDP multicast to identify it on a network? I have an Asus tf700 that doesn't show up on my main router(linksys e4200v2). Ifi connect to my secondary router I can see it if my phone is on the same 2nd router. Chromecast works fine on my primary router and is visible from both devices. It is only visible from devices on my secondary device if it is directly hooked up to the 2nd device.
Do note my primary router works as the dhcp server while the second one is a reapeter bridge.

Unless I am totally confused my your post you have it backwards. When you cast something, for example you are in Youtube, select a video then cast it to Chromecast (or CheapCast) your phone is just telling the device to stream it from the Internet. You phone is basically done at that point. Once the SDK is offical there will be apps that allow you to cast a local video in which Chromecast (CheapCast) will stream it from your phone...

I'm betting for now that the answer is NO...But there may be ways with a Hacked Rooted CCast.
I would be guessing but I expect there to be DRM in those that requires a player that can decode the DRM stream.
Netflix has one for the CCast and until Amazon supports CCast natively I wouldn't expect it to work without direct streaming whatever is on the Tablet screen directly to the CCast via Allcast or some other app that requires a Rooted CCast..

As far as I know...Anything that can only be played through a proprietary portal and their proprietary software (This includes NetFlix, GPlay, and Amazon) are most likely protected with DRM so that they can only be played on their proprietary player.
Which means it is pretty much up to them to incorporate Casting to CCast before you can cast those content items.
No way around it that I can think of.
Netflix activates an app on the CCast that knows how to decode their DRM encryption to play.it's streams.
It's a safe bet GPlay does this too and Amazon will need to create the same system they use.
While we all want Screen Mirroring and Local casting...The truth is the DIAL technology was always meant to be used in the way NetFlix uses it.
Thankfully it is flexible enough that we can get those other things as well.

Yeah, I'm waiting for Amazon too... can already do it on my TV, but my TV's interface is klunky.
I think they will get there but it's a huge company whose software divisions are pretty much focused on their Kindle and Internal stuff.

Now that posting could be out of date and it may not mean they aren't working on it just that they haven't registered their Name yet.
They may be waiting for the public release of the SDK. Not sure how close they are with Google as far as development goes to be right on top of it.
I tend to avoid buying any music or content with DRM. I would rather buy the disc and rip it into a DRM free format so I can keep it on the Media Server or NAS.

Still won't pay for DRMed stuff as I've been burned too many times in the past, but I'll rent/subscribe for streaming now. Scary.

Netflix is a pretty good value when you get right down to it. I just signed up for the first time last month as well. Not sure I'll keep it but at the time Plex didn't support CCast! LOL
Truth is I got it as much for my Mother to use the account as for me! I may only keep as long as the MidSeason Break is on because there is nothing but crap on until January! LOL
Netflix is worth every penny imho.
Well, American Netflix. The other ones ain't so hot but if you have an open mind, there's plenty to watch.
