Same here. It just sits there and buffers till it force closes.

Same here. Gets stuck on loading screen.

No go on my Tbolt

wish it worked...

whats the word on this? Are we going to get netflix on our thunderbolt's?

Could this be related to the DRM License notification I got when I rooted?
I just got it again
"DRM Notification
License Required"

Looks like Netflix patched/broke the streaming. Hope we get this soon, would love to rock streaming on the way to work.

This was such a cocktease....

[Q] Google Movie App Missing?

I got the Android 3.1 update OTA this morning on my Stock Wi-Fi Xoom in the US. The update went through with no problems, but now I have just noticed that the Google "Videos" App for renting movies is no where to be found. I've looked in the Market as well and couldn't find it.
Any ideas as to why it isn't on my Xoom and how I could get it? Thanks.

I guess that is the problem. I don't see a Video/Movie app anywhere in my app list. Any idea as to why or where I can download it from?

Nvm, I checked other Xoom forums, including Motorola's forum, and have seen that the missing Videos app is a widespread problem, mostly on Wi-Fi Xooms. Hope Moto/Google fix this fast, I was hoping to rent a video for a trip I'm going on this weekend.
EDIT: Here is a quote from a forum manager over at Motorola:
"The rollout to Wifi users has started -- obviously -- but the Movies function won't be available from Google at rollout. Google is saying in the near future. My personal opinion only is that means probably two or three weeks, but again, that's just my opinion."
Well this stinks. Don't see any reason why they delayed movies for us Wi-Fi people.

Must be a random thing because I have a wifi only xoom at it was there right after I iinstalled 3.1.

i need it as well :-(

I haven't seen it either... no Video app on 3.1 Wifi only Xoom

Try pushing this to system/app
No clue if it will work

It seems like if you got 3.1 OTA, then no Google Movies. If you upgraded another way, then you likely have it.

Tried just running it and I got a warning saying: "This is a sysyem application. Do you still want to replace it?"
Sounds like it's already there, but just with no way to access it.

i think that the video app is there bc when i go to tegra zone to watch a video on upcoming games i have to choose between Video player or another video app i have installed. im gonna try the video apk thing and see if it works.

never pushed an apk before
can someone post instructions for this for adb through windows?

[Q] Netflix possible on Hero?

I'm not requesting this or anything; I'm just curious. Would it be possible to make Netflix work on our phone? Or what is it about our phones that makes it not work?
Thanks.

Whoa. Is netflix even on the android yet? Because that would be sweet.

Yeah it is, you can find the apk on XDA, but videos won't play on the Hero...you can browse the instant play queue, but that's it. I am trying a few of the widely talked about edits to spoof it into playing but no go on the Hero yet.
Tried:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
and
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
Neither worked for me...I get to where the video will appear to be loading, then the app kicks back to the main screen.

you would need flash 10 for netflix to dont u or do they have it mobile formated now.

I believe it's mobile formatted...it plays fine on my iPod Touch...

That's what I was thinking about trying too. I'm thinking the app itself needs to be changed somehow, but I'm a newb so it's just a guess. I don't know if it's even possible to do that.
Sent from my Hero running aosp Froyo.

just becarefull when your modding apks because everyone got into trouble for fixing angry birds awhile back my suggestion is if you get it working keep it for yourself. and dont distrebute it on xda.

anbody try: model = Nexus One?

Yeah Nexus One has been tried...not by me, but others who haven't been able to get it working.

I hope we won't get into trouble. I would imagine they would praise the mod since it'll allow pre-existing customers to access their paid service account.

Just tried this, didn't work. Even got rid of at least some of the heroc's.

^^^^^DOES NOT WORK^^^^^

im pretty confident it will not work on the hero ever same reason as flash, i know they said they would only be supporting new snapdragon processors due to some sort of DRM compliance
i am also pretty sure that it needs an ARMv7 processor for some sort of hardware acceleration much the same way flash does, so its going to be more than just some build prop edits
best chance of it working
drm.apk from evo
build.prop edit
alot of luck

The Optimus S/V has it working, they have a ARMv6 like us. Also, according to someone's twitter update (just saying, it might be true) Random Google Search they got it working on the HTC Hero.

Did you try following their method?

That's what I've gotten so far. I only used the method in the description, and I posted above.
It just uploaded, so I don't know if it's public yet.

i almost wonder if it has something to do with it not really having a GPU thats all excuses though i honestly thought it was cause by what i posted so this is awesome proof of concept guys keep up the good work

Trying the Optimus' way now. Hopefully it'll work. I'd love to have this on my phone, even though it will overheat the heck out of my battery .
By the way, I'm on AOSPCMOD 4/29, and it worked with AOSP's other ROM for the Optimus V. But then again, they have a working screen on-off animation, and we don't .

That I am pretty sure is because of the gpu esp for how choppy they were when they do work

It sounds like *some* evo owners on GB can't get it either, since they are still officially on froyo... They are a supported device.

Latest Adobe Flash Player for Motorola XOOM tablet hacked to work with hulu.com

The following is a hack to get hulu.com working with the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.23 for the Motorola XOOM Tablet which consists of a hack of
/data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so by hex editing AND 10,3,185,23 to WIN 99,9,999,99 so it will work with HULU.
Using the apk - uninstall any existing Adobe Flash Player from your device before installing the new apk.
After you apply the above, to get this working, make sure to set your browser User Agent string to Desktop. With the stock Android browser and probably other browsers excluding the Dolphin browser, you might have to do this each time you run any flash based site including hulu.com or start the browser:

laggy / choppy playback??
Thanks for updating this, but am I still the only one experiencing very sub par playback (choppy/laggy) with this hack? I highly doubt it is my internet connection , so what gives?? I mean the hack works, but I would hardly call it useable by any means. I'd feel a little better if more people were experiencing the same thing.

Even though I am the author of this hack, I know what you're referring to since this hack originally was done for phone devices and while it works for everyone else and even others with the Motorola Droid 1, when I use it on the Droid 1, I have the same problem as you and not only that, the flash process will get killed with the browser after a minute or two. Are you using 3G or WiFi?

No problem BRD, I used to do only the libflashplayer.so hack for the past 6+ months and didn't know how to replace files in a apk and I didn't have a Xoom until the end of May so all modified apk's I have tested on my p3droid rooted stock ROM for the Motorola Droid 1 have always resulted in youtube and hulu acting as if flash was not installed, so for that, only replacing libflashplayer.so manually works. What's more funny is that even though I posted my libflashplayer.so on droid-life.com whenever there is a new version of flash, no one seems to recognize it until you made it available on the Xoom when it was mentioned on both droid-life.com and PCWorld. I usually will post the update within minutes to hours after I am aware of it which is usually within the same day except it's time consuming to be updating 1/2 a dozen threads on xda about the new flash with the hack after I test it on 3 different devices (Motorola Droid 1 using the libflashplayer.so, Motorola XOOM after patching and signing the apk with the libflashplayer.so after it works on the Droid 1, and then the HP eStation Zeen Tablet with both the market apk as it doesn't have market access and the libflashplayer.so) to make sure it works before releasing it to the world.

I only ever use wifi (I own a 3g model but do not have 3g activated). And my desktop imac uses the same wireless internet connection and the same hulu video is smooth and flawless, so my internet connection isn't the issue.
What is bugging me the most is that I've repeatedly made comments about the crappiness of the playback and yet virtually no one so much has acknowledged me. Making me feel as though I'm the one and only person having these problems...or that no one else is being even remotely critical of the video quality. To me, "just works" does not necessarily mean its worth using.

I don't have a Xoom, but a Nexus One. Performance has always been crappy on my device. Flash says the video has not been optimized for mobile. I tend to believe them. Looks like the video is not being hardware decoded for some reason or another.

any ideas why opera mobile might fail to recognize this? getting no flash at all, but it works fine with flash from market...

While a Desktop imac uses the same wireless connection, remember the processing power of a mobile device will still be lacking compared to a actual computer. Even though they might both be wireless, the wireless chipset makes a difference too when it comes to latency, etc since Broadcom used in the Xoom isn't exactly a good chipset when you compare it to things like Atheros, Lucent/Agere. My desktop being a Pentium 4-3.2Ghz is actually slower than my Xoom and even my Droid 1 because for whatever reason, in 2009, the hardware just started getting really sluggish so the only way to even play flash is to pause it until the entire video is in the buffer, this is on a 6Mbps ADSL connection which works without issues with even my friends Netbooks when playing flash. Do you have the same problem with the market version without applying the hack since I don't know what BRD modified in his hack but in mines, it's just the version string so everything else is untouched and it should work exactly the same since there is no reverse engineering of the code or decompiling involved. The Xoom atleast works in my case unlike my Droid 1 which is basically suffering from the same thing you claim except on the Droid 1, all of a sudden, it will just exit back to the home screen all of a sudden, no one else seems to have that problem either. Adobe Flash itself is a CPU resource hog and it seemed to be better when it was Macromedia Flash. Lots of people or the general public out there doesn't really know what quality is or they just don't have something of reference quality to compare it to. Same thing when people buy audio/video equipment, audiophiles/videophiles like myself are picky while some people out there will just think anything is good based on the pricing or how expensive something is.

Netflix :(

* Netflix does not appear in the Market for Droid 3.
* Attempting to play a movie on Netflix on Droid 3 via sideload will crash your phone.

I side loaded it and it runs as far as the app but video is a bunch of green crap with no sound.

I know, you'd think it'd be no problem, which is what I assumed. Perhaps support for the OMAP4 is coming via update?

That would be my guess. I think the D3 is the first with OMAP 4 in it, the Bionic is next so once a few devices have it and are selling Netflix will see a reason for it.

There is also multiple different netflix's out there, have you tried all of them?

Hi I tried netflix on cyanogenmod 7 and it worked fine, but when I try to do it in coredroid it said my phone was able. What sup with that.

I don't want to pay some other company every month to use their software to watch something offered by another company I pay money to.

Well if you can't wait just use a 30 day trial from playon.tv and get netflix that way.. I would imagine they will have the app by the end of this month or early next

Same here with the green crap. Audio actually does work, by the video decoding is busted. I used 3 or 4 different version of Netflix, some crashed my phone, others had the busted decoding.

It's compatible now, or so it says. Mine isn't working. It streams but everything is all green.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

Yup same here. It will allow me to download and install from the market, but I get the green pixelated screen followed by a reboot.

Confirming, officially supported, and still officially broken.

The version you are downloaded is the 1.2.2 and we have to wait for the "official" 1.3 update. It seems Google is possibly being a little slow?

The 1.3 update just hit the android market and it now works for the D3... Although the colors are not as good as it looked on my old Droid Inc.
Maybe some tweaking can resolve the color issue...

Confirmed, updated version is working for D3 quite nicely.
