It would be so great if we can get some devs working on this.

Here is a page that has the link to the .Apk.
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/15/netflix-for-android-apk-leaked/
I am downloading and installing now.
No one has been able to stream yet as far as I know.

Im sure that the UI isn't optimized for the large screen.
Having any luck skull?
OK, ui was stuck in portrait, so not optimized for honeycomb. When it went to start streaming it switched to landscape.
Was able to sign in and see queue etc. Tried to stream and got an error after a few seconds saying it cannot connect to netflix servers. This is consistent with what others are experiencing.

just tried the apk as well, no bones on streaming...
looks like its a DRM lockdown. log copied from this thread
Here is the drm software and the .Apk
Should this thread be in development, or will the devs see it here easy enough?

Don't know that devs will touch it. My thread in the nexus one forum was shut down for beginning a discussion to get this going. Devs are probably worried about lawsuits or cease and desisted. Remember what happened to Cyanogen back in the day.

Hey, has anyone managed to find a file in .apk format of the recently released alpha? they only way you can get it from mozilla's site is in a .install file, which, because of our darling At&t, we cant do anything with...
Got apk from here

Thanks for the link
I know it is alpha, but what are the thoughts so far on it? I find it very slow. I hope they can get gear monkey incorporated on this
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
They proboably won't start optimizing the code until it goes beta. Alpha is more about just getting the feature set right and making sure everything works moderatly well.
More than likely they re-used as much code as possible from the desktop variant (to get it going) which is def. not optimized for a mobile device.
It looks promising to me. I like the way tabs are handled and add-ons will be really cool if they ever take off (I need fire gestures).
Thanks for the link, dang you AT&T .........
It runs like crap, and fc randomly, dont know why they even released this to the puplic,
I will say this about, its much more functional than the pre alpha I've been testing the past couple weeks, certainly not ready for day to day use, but its nice to see mozilla making progress
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I know it's alpha, but as soon as I load it it freezes. They aren't kidding about alpha, maybe they should list it as nearly operable.

It looks like it will be cool with the weave sync and all. Unfortunately I can't get it to run for more than a min without a force close.I did visit gmail and it wa formatted for an old flip type phone and just text...not for a smart phone like we are use to setting with an android browser.

I hope the Xoom is not far behind.
I hope they start rolling this out on different devices.
The leaked netflix app a while back now has a different error message saying that the device is not supported
I wonder if we can trick the new app into thinking we are on one of those devices to try it out for the time being.

Why would they not release this on tablets at the same time? That's retarded. I hope someone can port it to the xoom.
Surprising when I hit the Android Market web site and select install.. Not only does my Incredible show as a selection on the list, but so does my Nook Color!! The Thunderbolt, X and Xoom are grayed out.
I wonder if this app is built like the HBO2Go app (which complains about compatibility with the device on start up), or if we can pull the APK and side load it? (I'll have to test when I get home and power on my old Incredible)

Yea I was thinking the same thing (and the Thunderbolt too). Hopefully someone can try it out.
none of the device listed are multicore... fortunately the nexus s is not a qualcom chip based device so at least we know its not locked into a single manufacturer... i suspect that we will get it as soon as they roll out tegra support

Unless someone here beats me to it, I'll try it on my Xoom and TB as soon as I get home (probably 3 hrs from now)...
Installed it on my A500 (got it off my Nexus One), "Netflix is not supported on this device.." Can manage my watch now queue, but that is it.

that is kind of what I expected.. just like the APK pulled from the LG rom a while ago... and kind of like what the HBO2Go apk does when loaded onto other devices...
D/l and installed Netflix apk. Everything works except streaming. Tells you your device is not supported. I wonder if its a simple fix. I'm going to look into it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
You can get the apk at multiupload. com/ NPZ062QIZB (stupid post limit, sorry)
I sideloaded it on my X and my Xoom. It works on my X, but the Xoom gets an 'unsupported device' error.
Cracked apk open. In the lib/armeabi file it lists 5 supported devices. They are in .so format however, not sure how to edit those. I'll keep everyone updated

This is trivial, but pointless. Playback will error out because we do not have the DRM it is looking for

I attempted changing the items in build.prop that got things going for the Nook devices but had no luck. Device is not supported error when opening app. Changing build.prop did allow me to download the app from the market though.

There is an 'isdevicesupported()' function in the androidutils source file that they use to check compatibility, however my attempts to edit the SMALI code has ended in failure on my part I just get an app that crashes, and I'm too lazy to build the app in debug and find out why.
Genius in progress
I do say, indeed, it was no trouble getting the APK file from my EVO to my Xoom. Should any of you, Dear Sirs, figure out a non-destructive way of getting this to play on a Xoom, I shall ask the Gods to bestow upon you: the Sword of Light.
I installed on my EVO earlier and it works beautifully! Wish it would come to the xoom

iim right with ya buddy, can't wait.I'm surprised netflix already got as far as it did lol it was kinda out of the blue ..
So the official Netflix app just rolled out, and it works on our fellow HTC phones, the Incredible and Evo. For some reason, the Thunderbolt is not one of the initially supported devices. Any chance some devs can get this to work on our Bolts?
Edit: Here is the APK, thank the fine people over in the EVO forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13730645&postcount=11
This is confirmed to not be working as is, due to a DRM notification. There may be nothing that can be done at the time being, but we shall see.
Someone post the APK
Currently browsing the Evo/Inc forums looking for an APK.
Added APK to OP.
doesnt work here on CM... seems to start playback but the video doesnt work then it just quits altogether
Anyone get this working?
Good post! Hope someone can get it working on the thunderbolt.
Sent through the interwebs.
Yeah, I am assuming it won't work as is. Hoping the devs have some sort of magic up their sleeves that can fix it.

Getting the same thing on the stock TB.
Also getting a notification about a License required for DRM.
sounds good to me! can't wait to test it
I would love to see some Netflix on my TB. I don't know if the apk will be any good to modify since Netflix servers may just be checking the client's device info.
Can anyone confirm that the apk posted is different than the leak? The leaked version I have is 1.01 build 740558.

Mind you my tech/coding know how on Android is limited, but if the drm files can be put on our devices can we trick it into thinking its a different phone al.la the htcsense.com mod?
Of course that all depends on what it check to see if its a compatible device.

I just downloaded that and it seems to work well. One of the default settings disables it in landscape mode, which might be the problem you guys are having. Either deselect that option or try it in portrait mode to see if that works.
I'd still like to find something closer to what is described in the OP. It would be kind of useful to have it just turn on and off when I open and close my case.
Aite I got it to work upon closing sweet now if i can just find one that "aweken" my Xoom upon opening case....

I think you might be talking about Killswitch. It was developed by an xda dev. I tried to use it with my 7 inch tab, but had fcs. However he was very helpful. I haven't tried it with the Xoom, but I think I'll look it up.

I was able to install it yesterday from the link I posted. The apk is there under the market link and video. I decided against using it, but you can give it a try.
Basically,
Sky Go came out today and it says that the Galaxy is is supported. But, when I try to load it up, it says your device is not supported and I take it that it's saying that because I've got AOKP ICS on there.
Would anyone know a way of fixing this?
Thankssss

The resolution is fine after a minute or so.
Current problem appears to be that no other channel other than Sky news works, possibly because it is non encrypted.
Possible issue caused by rooted phones not being supported but that is a little unclear as people with unrooted phones are also experiencing the same issues, ie, the app is sticking at the buffering screen and shows no pictures.
Apart from that, its fantastic
I see there is a discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22781731
They talk about apps that temporarily revoke root access to the phone to trick the Sky Go app into thinking you have a stock ROM. Sounds like too much effort for one app tbh, but I thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen it!
