[App] Netflix on Inc/Evo?

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.

Stock TB rooted? Did you remove any files? There are some drm files on mine.

not working here on das bamf
got the DRM notification.

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.

here is the apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15431760/com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk (pulled from my inc)
i get this message
Netflix is not supported on this device. Please check the Netflix website for a list of supported devices

I modified my build.prop to make my phone look like an EVO, and still no luck. Something about DRM popped up in the notification bar, but when I clicked it, it just disappeared.

Pulled this from the evo. Hope it works for you guys!! If not atleast get it ported!!

Thanks Jay! Just quoted you and posted it in my thread. Hopefully we can get this to work for us.

Just pulled the apk and can confirm it's not working for us YET!! Hopefully that'll change soon!!!

App installs fine. But it doesn't seem to stream the movies. It gets a little farther than previous apk files. It shows like the movie wants to play but then it goes back to main menu. Then something came up on my notification bar saying drm license required. I tried it both in 4G and wifi.
Hopefully it gets ported to the thunderbolt soon.

I know ya'll got some great dev's over here I've been keeping an eye! Lol

Same here, it was about to play, then stopped,drm license, closest I've seen it to actually streaming something though
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Same here... actually started playing the starting movie intro sound then.... DRM...DAMMIT... hope something comes about soon

i can play about 5 seconds of audio (no video) then it goes back to the queue. it doesn't quit. it doesn't give me any error message about DRM.

Don't kill me over the piracy in technical terms of what i'm about to say but can we pull the DRM file from a Evo if it's a file, somehow merge it with the Apk like a Patch? or can we put it on our phone in the Drm location?

Those of you guys that have tried this on the T-bolt... what ROM are you on?
I know for Das Bamf they removed the DRM APK's that may be required to run this app. I think some other ROM dev's did this as well.
Are any of you on a stock ROM no de-bloat or anything? Maybe the DRM APK's that were taken out are all we need to get this running.

im on Das Bamf and get the DRM message

Same here... somebody from one of the other posts is supposedly stock rooted so it's not looking good without some dev work... only time will tell

No luck on VirusROM either. I don't get the DRM error, but it does start briefly then go back to the menu

T-Bolt Rooted Stock Sense, bloat removed with root explorer, same DRM issue. Something using Root explorer i noticed. In the Manifest there is a line of code saying Debuggable = false, if we change that to true, maybe we can have the app Debugg for us and it would help us find out what it's looking for?

i was running thunderrom and i had no streaming, I changed to CM7 and it would actually look like its gonna play. I did get sound but nothing played and it went back to the main menu after 5 sec

Tested on the Motorola xoom wifi and Motorola atrix but it says its incompatible.

It's a HTC based app, doubt Moto would be supported on any device.

Hulu plus for thunderbolt cm7?

Hulu plus just added official support for the thunderbolt but upon running it I was immediatly hit with a device not supported error
I'm running Cm7 rc 1.2 any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat. Any input would be appreciated.

Ditto
Same as well. Latest CM7 on latest OTA radio.

I can't provide much help here... Running CM7 RC 1.2, latest radio. I'm not having any issue.

Same issue here
I am having the same issue, Hulu plus says the device is not supported. I found a different flash.apk from another forum that said it would get hulu to work, but no dice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it probably doesnt detect CM7 as being a thunderbolt. sorta like we had to trick the netflix app also. it runs on mine running BAMF sense 3.0 RC5 but force closes. I am thinking some hack will be needed to run netflix and hulu+ both.

Wow what BS! I want to try it out to see if I can just ditch Netflix since they are screwing everyone!!!
Idea: What about modifying the build.prop to make the device name match what it says stock?

now sure lol

It's ADR6400L I'm going to try now.
Nope still says unsupported device.

Anybody know what had to be done to allow the netflix app to work on CM7?

im sure there are other ways it can check to see what "phone" you have. liking missing libraries or something.

Yeah hopefully someone can figure it out so we can rock some Hulu!

Its because we are blocking ad and modifying the hosts file.
you need to have adfree installed and hit revert to repair the hosts file.

Netflix on the market? for stock 2.2 no less

So I downloaded netflix from the market, and it says in the list of supported devices that the HTC Thunderbolt is one. Now it does install and accepts your username password, you can see your qeue and it attemps to play the vid, but fails with a DRM required message. any one else seeing this? if you search for it it will not appear, but if you select apps, all apps, free apps then scroll down its listed. click install and try to enjoy a mostly usable app.

Mine works on CM7 perfectly! I did a search for Netflix it found and downloaded fine. Logged in and started a movie!

it will never work on stock or rooted froyo for the thunderbolt (at least not without netflix directly supporting it). person that said it did on that forum is full of it. amount of effort to make it work would not be worth it. GB will be out soon and nearly everyone has it already on here. Anyone who wont root to get netflix obviously doesnt want it bad enough

Ok ok, im not a dev, but.... Look at the LG Revolution. It is running 2.2.1 and netflix runs perfectly out of the box. in my ignorance, I dont know why it would be any more dificult to modify it to work with other froyo devices. Im sure one of the software type bullys will pick me appart here.. By the way... XDA isn't a friendly place any more. boo to flamers... (will probably get flamed for that) HA

Netflix does NOT need GB to function, it appears as if it needs it for the TBolt but not overall. That being said they made Droid Bionic support available so take everything with a grain of salt. Maybe GB will be coming soon and rather than fix issues with the TBolt again soon they figured set it up for GB and users can use it then (and root users now ).

I just installed Netflix on my stock TB & it works very well. It was a little glitchy for the first 3-4 seconds, maybe 5, but after that, clear as a bell. No complaints here. About damn time...

Netflix app was just updated again!!! Everyone that had issues before try it out!

Yep update seems to fixed the play back issue.... WOOT!

Yep, confirmed working here too. Stock Froyo unrooted, latest update.

Confirmed. Just updated. Netflix now streaming on stock Thunderbolt. Thank God!!!

I never said all of froyo...I said thunderbolt + froyo. However, I am glad to see that it looks like netflix finally fixed it for the thunderbolt on froyo (the only way I said it would ever work for it).

Uninstall, download from market & reinstall.
I never understood the appeal of watching netflix on a cell phone. I tried it a couple of times & never finished the movie. Tablets & netbooks are much better suited for that job, imho

[UPDATED] [APP] Netflix 360, Honeycomb optimized (from HC enabled market app)

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.

cant install...but I can download it...

You might have to uninstall the old version first.

Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!

app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?

I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.

Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!

Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?

Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...
