Now that this is out...will this be able to work for the Eris, or no cause we have arm6?
I got it to load and start streaming but no sound or audio and the time stayed the same. Restarts after a bit. Hadn't tried changing the build.prop yet though. No pc around. Some folks say it works on original Droid though.

Netflix on the Eris
Here's an interesting one. I tried to download the apk to my Coby 7015 tablet. It immediately downloaded the apk to my Eris. Go figure.
Installed fine and loads up. When I start a video, I get a dark screen with the "pause - fast forward" control bar at the bottom then it goes back to the netflix home screen. No audio. No video.
Logcat shows: D/TAG ( 3163): Not Android 3.x+ with drm.play.
I'm in the same boat on Gingerbread. Black screen with controls and then it eventually resets to home screen.
I downloaded the apk off of google, it installed fine and it brings everything up, but when i try to play something all i get is a message saying "the netflix service is not available on your device. please check netflix.com/netflixreadydevices for info regarding support for your device"

That's the APK.

I'd say just wait for a full hack.
I just edited the build.prop using this http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
so far, the app runs, and it looks as if its going to start streaming, but i just get a black screen with the pause botton. Idk if wifi will work ill try it when I get some, its on 3g now.

but do u think for the eris it will come and still have the support being as its an old model?
The Eris will never have official support from Netflix. Basically, there's a set of DRM libs baked into the officially supported phones. These hacks are attempting to trick the app into thinking the phone is a supported phone with supported DRM libs. However, it's not working on the Eris even with the build.prop mods. I'd like to see a logcat of the problem, but I really believe it has to do with the DRM libs not being satisfied and possibly crashing media libs like most older devices.
I'm waiting for somebody to just package a fake build.prop and DRM spoof into a modified Netflix app. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know what the Netflix servers check the app for. MD5 and DRM version?
I can't even get the apk to install. I've downloaded it, but I get no option to install it from astro or from the downloads menu on the browser. How do you install this damn thing? I even downloaded app installer, but it doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid apk.
Works fine for me. The only thing is that the app itself is massive compared to all the other ones I have. Due to the fact that it sucks down a lot of memory and power, I think I'll be fine with the Netflix app on my iPod/iPad/Xbox/laptop/whathaveyou

Seconded. I've tried 2 different ways both editing and not editing the build.prop
no dice on either, just the "black screen with pause button" tease, on both WIFI and 3G. Also tried on 2 other Eris' (erisii?? lol) with same results, one running XTRsense, and 2 running GSB 3.3
so what ROM are you on, what did you do specifically to enable streaming vid?
I third that. On gsb 3.3 and my dice are also missing. Netflix is the only reason why I would ever get rid of my eris

Ya! i watched "Defiance" last night with no problem. I was on Wifi though.
Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Took the information posted earlier and, what do you know netflix on the droid x combinded with real hdmi lets make it a movie night.

Finally got a movie to stream using your settings. Thanks! Same result though, sound is way too fast. After reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-954843.html
Thought about changing ro.board.platform= from tegra to whatever it is for the Droid. Do you know what is listed in the build.prop? Anyway thought it might be worth a try.
Im seeing the sped up video and sound as well here. Using the pre-packaged netflix apk on CM7 nightly 85.
maybe it's just me but when I went into the market today it said that there were updates available for netflix. I downloaded them and now when I run netflix it takes me to the "login" page instead of saying this device is not compatible.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

I saw that too and I got all excited. I do have an acct and could get to it. I can see my que but I can not still stream from there. It goes to the red loading screen but then dumps back out to the que. I have tried it several times. Still no. Close.. it seems.

It only added about 3 more phones to the list of approved devices. Install CM7 and all will be good.

Yep, same behavior for me after editing the build prop, running on Vegan 7 RC1, including after the market posted update to the apk.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

Droid-life had a link to the app. I grabbed the one off my phone I grabbed from the market. It didn't work on CM7.02 but I updated to CM7.03 and it works fine. No build.prop edits or anything needed.

I upgraded from my nexus 5 recently and put hulu + back on this device like I've done for years now. Whenever I try to play a video with the service, it plays the opening ad(s), gets to the point where the video I requested should play and nothing happens. Looking carefully, the 10 second rewind button just flashes on and off but the video never plays. I've done Google searches all morning and all I found is a Facebook page showing that this is a known bug but no one has offered a fix. I've uninstalled, cleared data, used the older version from Dec but no dice. I already emailed Hulu like 3 days ago and no response. I'm running stock but decryption is off. Any ideas?

Nope, not even an automated message saying that they got the email. I would hate to think that the reason mine isn't working is because I am no longer encrypted.

In case any of you were having issues with Hulu Plus (like I was), I found a fix for it.
Problem:
Hulu Plus will play the intro and first ad of a video, then stops and eventually crashes the app. This was happening on the 7.4 version of the ROM and was not tested on newer versions.
Solution:
By searching XDA for the issue, I found this post, which fixed the issue with me.
If you use a root explorer, or adb you can mount /system rw
Then delete vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Reboot and DRM will work again.
I was able to do this using the file explorer in TWRP.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. This fixed it for me. Does the OS recreate the file when the first program needs it again? Why does this happen in the first place?

I honestly don't know. I assume it's a file having to do with DRM. That's why it allows you to play ads and not the DRM-protected shows. The original post I referenced does not go into too much details about what it does and why it wasn't working. Since I have recent nandroid backups of my ROM, I figured I'd give it a shot. Thankfully it worked without any issues (so far, at least).

ah nice, i didn't find anything. Thank you for the info.
I have the same problem... I don't know what to do...
same problem here - 1+3t see my chromecast device , attempts to connect and... thats all
I've not screwed around with this problem much since I don't "cast screen" aside from netflix which works (as said here). I did some screen casting from CM in the past, But::
I've experience the identical symptoms of this problem on CM13, CM14, etc, with their built in cast command. I don't know if it'll be identical or of any help, but I had to get rid of all of the /system partition based "cast" (whatever it's called in this version), from /system/apps ./priv-apps and other /system-like places..
When you are sure you've got it all gone, using root explorer or adb or whatever you prefer (of course, you have to be rooted) , then reboot, then install Google Home(chromecast) from the play store. That worked fine in the CM's. I'll see if I can dig up the correct file names & folders that apply to this version and get back to this thread if I do.
I'll be happy to be the guinea pig, so don't do this unless you want to take a chance on screwing up your phone, until I report back.
Edit 1: Of course, the 3t does it differently. They're using all /data spaces for the cast, and since I've installed "google home" I have to get rid of it first to figure out which files remain. Here is what there is right now, not that there is anything worth doing with it unless I've uninstalled Google Cast via play store:

So I have a snapdragon version of the s20 fe, have it rooted and all.
3 days ago I was able to use Hulu with no issues, then the next night I got a message saying I needed to update. When I click on that message it takes me to Google play which says that Hulu is not compatible with my device.
When I look up the latest update it was on 5/26, which I had already updated to. I uninstalled it and now when I search for Hulu it doesn't show up and only gives me recommended apps.
Anyone else having the same issue?
look on apkmirror or apkpure and get a version that's two versions lower than the latest. hopefully that won't have the same root detection in it.
if it works don't update. look up safetynet to see if you can get that working on your OneUI version.
Well I mean I already side loaded it lol but there's no mention of any rooted check on hulus site. Just wasnt sure if anyone else has any issues
I just installed v4.23.0 from apkpure. It seems to work fine.
