[Q] Netflix on NC

Has anyone managed to get netflix to work? If so, did you just download it off of the Market, or did you get an APK from somewhere?
When I load into mine I'm able to log in and view their library, but when I go to play something it just hangs on the screen before the player is supposed to show up and never progresses. It's not locked or frozen, but it just sits there forever.

I'm confused. what Netflix app. I thought we weren't seeing a netflix app that plays until sometime in 2011

I'm really new to Android, (been stuck with iOS for a while) so I'm not sure really. I just went on to the marketplace and did a search for "Netflix" and found one called "Netflix for Android." I suppose that's not official then? Guess I should change my netflix password!

Looks like all that App dose is Allow you to edit your que and browse the Movies. No viewing. And its Not Official. As someone said before No Official till sometime in 2011 and then from what I understand it will only be for 2.2+

Netflix for android app is just an app for managing your queues and such. says right on the description not affiliated with netflix. Official netflix app is suppose to be out next year, however netflix recently said it would likely only work with versions after 2.2 due to their "security concerns", so dont expect it on the nook any time soon

Well dont I feel silly.
Thanks all

I wonder if anyone had managed to install Netflix and use it?
Flash 10.3 seems to be required. I installed Netflix and I can go select movie to play but it starts like is playing but stops and goes back to aplicario.

Same Problem
HUAWEI IDEOS S7 - Running Indonesian 2.2.2 Rooted
I loaded the newest Netflix.apk from the internet.
It installs fine, lets me log in fine, NO ERROR messages about my "phone" not being supported.
Go to play a movie and it loads the player, title of movie appears at the bottom of screen, you hear 1 second of sound, then it abruptly goes back to the netflix menus.
The same thing happens no matter which movie I select.
WE ARE SO CLOSE! Any ideas on how to fix this?

Netflix on phone to chromecast?

I have Netflix installed on my phone but it doesn't show a chromecast button. Can it be done from within the app or just from Netflix on a comp?

Both. Do you have the chromecast app installed?

I believe you need the Chromecast app installed on your phone to get the Cast icons to show up in Netflix and other supported apps.

You do NOT need the chromecast app, but your chromecast does have to be setup and powered up. Should say ready to cast on the TV if you switch to that input.

works peachy for me right out of the box. The chromecast app does nothing but allow you to set it the device, find WiFi etc...

I have the chromecast app installed on my phone. Youtube works just fine and netflix works fine from the desktop. I just dont see the icon in netflix from my phone. Unless the chromecast needs to be turned on first?

as soon as I open Netflix from my phone, the little icon to send it to my chromecast appears right away, but mine is turned on all the time .... Have you checked for updates? Otherwise I really dont have an answer aside from try turning it on first then launching Netflix

I could be wrong but how is it supposed to detect the chromecast if it's turned off? I would definitely assume it needs to be on.

Yep that was it. Had to have the input set to the chromecast for the button to show. Didn't know that.

It had power but the input wasn't selected and the button wasn't showing. Selected the proper input and the button showed.

that's strange, it should still show and automatically change the input when selected.
does it show in youtube when the input isn't selected?

No Chromecast Button On Netflix
I have the most recent version of Netflix installed on my LG Optimus L9 (P769) running JB 4.1.2. I don't have the Chromecast button, but I do have one for YouTube. My older Optimus V is running the same version of Netflix on either GB or ICS and it displays the Chromecast button. The Netflix layout is different between the 2 phones as well.

there is a similar issue being found with the newer motorola devices like the droid 4 and according to another used one or more of the razr line but its across all the apps not just the netflix

Both devices are on the same network. Both have the Chromecast app installed and can see the Chromecast device. The newer phone can cast to YouTube and Google Play (not Netflix) and the older device can cast to both YouTube and Netflix.

Netflix Troubleshooting Transcript
Sorry if it's a bit long. Scroll down to the bolded text.
Keith
Thank you for contacting Netflix customer support.
Here is the transcript from your recent chat with customer support:
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Nice to meet you, Keith. How can I help?
You
I cannot get my Android phone to display the Chromecast button
Netflix Joe
Oh no, that definitely doesn't sound liek a fun thing to be dealing with. What kind of phone is it?
You
It is a LG Optimus L9 (P769) running Android Jelly Bean v4.1.2
You
I have the newest Netflix application installed
Netflix Joe
Awesome. Thanks for that info.
Netflix Joe
Just one sec while I dig up some info for us.
Netflix Joe
So Keith, is that chromecast and your phone on the same Network? We've got a troubleshooting article here Click Here for the article but it says the chromecast and the phone have to be on the same wifi network in order to communicate.
You
I also wanted to let you know that I have an older LG phone running an earlier version of Android and it works perfect with Chromecast and Netflix
You
I've read that article already as well
Netflix Joe
OK, cool. Glad to know your older phone is working.
You
The Netflix layout on the two phones is entirely different even though they are both on the same version of the Netflix app.
Netflix Joe
Yeah, the app varies from device to device based on the system specs of the device. It sort of optimizes itself.
Netflix Joe
So the phone and the chromecast are hooked up to the same wifi network?
You
they are on the same network. The phone that doesn't have the Chromecast button for Netflix does have the Chromecast button for both YouTube and Google Play Music
Netflix Joe
Good to know. Just a sec while I reach out to our research team about this.
I got them on the line now.
Netflix Joe
OK, they're asking to uninstall and reinstall the netflix app on the phone that isn't working.
You
about to do that now
Netflix Joe
Great, thanks.
Netflix Joe
Also are you able to download the chromecast app on that phone?
You
app is uninstalled, data and cache is cleared..about to reinstall...chromecast app is installed and operational on the phone
Netflix Joe
Awesome
You
app is reinstalled
Netflix Joe
Sweet, go ahead and try it again.
You
no chromecast button
Netflix Joe
OK, go ahead and go in the netflix app and scroll down to the bottom and get the version please.
You
chromecast app sees the chromecast device
You
2.4.0-216~40 [US/en-US]
Netflix Joe
OK, thanks.
Netflix Joe
And just to make sure, you are checking both the upper and lower right side of the screen for the cast button right? Kind of a silly question I know but just want to cover bases.
You
Yes, I have checked all corners
Netflix Joe
Cool, so they told me that they've seen this issue with a few LG phones and it's something with the phone not being read right by our system so they're looking into it right now to get it fixed and it should be working with your phone in the near future, they just added it to our tracker but the good news is one of your phone still works with the Chromecast right now and soon both will.
You
ok, thanks for letting me know that
Netflix Joe
Sure, no problem. Thanks for reporting the issue with us. Anytime there's a new device like this that comes out it takes a bit to work out the kinks and people like you really help speed that process along.
You
I understand. The device was only made available for sale on Wednesday, and I'm sure that you haven't been able to test every model of phone combined with every version of the OS
Netflix Joe
Yeah, for sure. Well can I help with anything else today Keith? It'd be a pleasure!

Hi you guys..I was having the same problem with a Droid Bionic, and I just wanted to let you guys know, I have a workaround/fix so you can get Chromecast working with the Netflix app working NOW instead of waiting for Netlifx to deal with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383310
Let me know if it works out! Cheers.

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I purchased a couple of Chromecast devices but live in a country where Netflix isn't currently available. I have the 3 months free Netflix codes if anyone wants them?

Samsung Browser - downloaden Video instead of playing it.

Every other browser is playing the video correctly.
https://rhinoshield.de
Samsung's is downloading RhinoShield_ShockSpread_A_Materials_Science_Breakthrough.mp4
BTW I have the Rhinoshield Bumper... Today I ordered the back protector and came across the problem.
Resetted all the standard app settings and globally revoked all permissions, even uninstalled... problem still persists.

Am I the only one with this strange problem on this website?

Plays fine in Samsung browser for me

So, what happens in other browsers? Does it play within the website, or does it go into Video mode? You might have set default action to Downloads. When I went to the website, it asked me to either OPEN or Download. I selected OPEN and with Video Player and it started playing.

I did have the same problem. Not sure how I mitigated it but I no longer have that problem. And at one point nothing would even happen when clicking play it wouldn't even download anymore, I think I deleted Samsung beta and disabled samsun internet and cleared cache in recovery. If all else fails factory reset I presume

I encountered the same issue using Samsung Browser 6. First time I clicked the link it as me to choose Video Player or Download. I didn't choose either & closed the pop up but it defaulted to download anyway. Then anytime I visited the page it would download the mp4. That is pretty annoying.
I also tried resetting app deafult but no matter what I couldn't get that pop up again asking which app to use, I tried clearing app data for Downloads Manager & even freezing it but could never get that pop up to appear again.
I had made a nandroid earlier that day so I restored. This time when I got the pop up I choose Video Player & it would play it instead of downloading. But it wouldn't set as default so everytime I visited the page it would always ask me.
Now I'm using Samsung Browser 7. With 7 it never asked my to choose Video Player or Downloads, it always prompts you asking to save the file. At least it doesn't automatically download it anymore & no need to delete the mp4s everytime you visit the page.

I chose video player when I got the pop up and it streamed it fine. However, upon checking the whole mp4 was still downloaded onto my SD card.
