One of the nicer tablet optimized apps featured in the Market is the CNN for Android app. Unfortunately, for those of us who have rooted our Xooms, for some reason we cannot play video through the app and get a "CNN Video is not available offline. Please connect to a network and try again" message when we try to play video.
Presumably if there is something about rooting that causes this problem, then it is something with a reasonably easy solution. Unfortunately, I have no clue as to what that solution is. Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can get video working in this app?
Not sure why its not working for you, but its works find for me rooted with 1.4 cybertronic_p6 kernel..
Yeah, it's working with my own kernels, too (essentially the Moto Stock kernel HR166 with the Tiamat Overclock patches and all the latest upstream stuff).
I can't see how rooting and/or updated kernels could mess with that. Now, your init files (part of the "boot.img" that actually enables root) could be missing something that the video section requires.
Can you play embedded videos from any other source?
Do you have adfree installed? As soon as I uninstalled that, the videos started working again.

Yes I do, I thought that might have been what was causing the problem. I don't want to uninstall AdFree. Any idea which host I can delete from the hosts.txt file created by AdFree to get it working?
It's officially out today!
HOWEVER... it's still listed as not available for my Xoom LTE. Not sure if they forgot to check the box for this model. If someone can get the new tablet friendly APK out there, I'd be obliged. I've already submitted a message to Hulu support.
i was able to install it on my xoom.
Can you post an APK file?

i have no clue how to do that.
It's good to know how to do it, programs like ASTRO File Manager or App Backup & Restore can backup the apps installed on your phone or tablet as APK files, which can be installed on any device. It doesn't back up app data (You need root and Titanium Backup for that), but it's great if you want to save old versions of apps in case someone releases a bad update, or if you want to copy them to a device that doesn't have the Android Market or something like that.
Then you stick 'em on some sort of site that lets people download 'em.
Installed fine, however getting DRM not supported error...
I'm running EOS ICS on my CDMA Verizon Xoom, and no dice. I installed it on my Transformer, no problem. Used Astro to backup the apk; however, it says its private and won't allow me to. I've tried to install from the device and the web based play store. No go.
I don't think it's compatible with ICS yet, because my Galaxy Nexus is also non-supported; however, I have ICS on my Nexus S and it installed just fine, so...idk
Runs on my xoom just fine.

You're not getting a "DRM Error"? Mine updated from the hacked version posted earlier once I removed that, but I'm getting "DRM Error 93“.

Nope, no errors.
That's the hacked version, we're talking about the official version with the tablet UI.

Im using market update version -
As of last night, my Xoom LTE could install the app off the Play Store. I could also start a video, but the connection wasn't great it seemed, and I got a network error after like fifteen seconds.
It seems like the only people who have gotten the official app to work on their Xoom, are people with the 4G LTE Xoom. Although, it does not say it will only work on 4G LTE in the Google Play app store, there seems to be a pattern. I wonder if a build.prop edit could fix the issue?

Huh. One of your builds, or an official build?
I've wiped data (thinking that the previous hacked version left something around), but still getting the DRM Error 93.

4G LTE Xoom
EOS STINGRAY ICS(4.0.4) Nightly 74
Custom Kernel -
A Magisk module that adds Angler widevine libs to Nexus 6 custom ROMs. This allows video/audio playback with the current version of the Netflix app. (Probably other video apps as well.)
This is my first Magisk module, so it's probably going to need a little "polish". That said, installing a module after flashing a new ROM is a whole lot quicker than manually copying and setting permissions on the needed files.
Files included in module:
/system/vendor/firmware/widevine.b00
/system/vendor/firmware/widevine.b01
/system/vendor/firmware/widevine.b02
/system/vendor/firmware/widevine.b03
/system/vendor/firmware/widevine.mdt
/system/vendor/lib/libdrmfs.so
/system/vendor/lib/libdrmtime.so
/system/vendor/lib/mediadrm/libwvdrmengine.so
I've tested on LineageOS (official download) and crDroid (personal build) and had working video / audio playback on both.
Awesome bro... thanks for your work. Will try it and report back.
Cheers!

Thank you thats interesting!
Does this allow L1 DRM (playback of HD videos).
How did you come up with this list of files?

According to "DRM Info" the security level is "L3" which is only SD quality. It would be nice to get HD at some point, but it's only a 6" screen, and I never noticed....
As for the list of files, I need to do some looking (to provide proper credit). A few weeks ago I was digging around the forum and noticed a couple of the ROMs had working DRM video playback, which eventually lead me to github and a commit the had the list. First time, I just added to my device set permissions and it worked. Since I like to re-flash my N6 quite often (back-up phone), I figured why not make up a Magisk module to make this easier...
Oddly enough, doing a fresh install of LOS, DRM Info shows "L1" and Netflix starts fine, but then hangs on "Loading..." when trying to play a video.

Oh Lineage-15.1 from 04.23.2018 should have DRM L3 already out of the box.
netflix should be working without further modification.

So you can play Netflix HD movies with an unlocked bootloader?
Or is it only reported as L1

Its reported as L1 via the drm info app from playstore, the netflix subscription I have is only sd. I can test for you if you have a way to really test it without changing my subscription.

Tried a few of those... didnt work
...I tried but ended up with a boot loop and then had to restore using TWRP...
But I may have done something wrong, as this was my first time trying to install it.
Anyone got it working?
This belongs in the questions section
You have to use the magisk xposed module, you can't flash xposed standalone. Though I may be wrong, so double check since I'm only using magisk modules not xposed.

I actually gave this a try tonight using the 24 version of systemless installed with Magisk. The bootloop is longer, but it's a bootloop, so I am restoring.
Warning to anyone messing around with this -- do a TWRP backup (and Titanium backup if you are really paranoid)...in my case I had to again restore from the TWRP backup...
Also, mods you can move this to the Q&A section...sorry I am the OP and should have posted this there...

Your right this should have been on q&a. You said you used 24 version. You need to download and install the SDK 26-27 assuming your on android 8. SDK 24 is android 7.0 and 7.1 is sdk 25

I'm on Android 7.0 rooted T-Mobile H872, hence SDK24 -- I thought that's all we had available besides Lineage 15.1 which I am going to try a bit later.
If someone has a rootable Oreo ROM for the H872, I'd love to try it
Thanks,

There is another ROM called aquariOS its better than los in my opinion. The developer is working on making a thread for it. I'll be working on the kernel myself standalone so stay tuned! The G6 is gonna be lit. Oh and its android 8.1

That would be great, please count me as an early tester. The current Lineage OS 15.1 has camera issues, and that is something I need for both video and pics with young kids and a business to run. I thought you could just lift he 7.0 LG camera app out of stock, but I guess there is more to it than that...

I'll get with the developer to add u as a tester. Also ya its complicated to port stock camera that's y I use arnovas gcam it works awesome and has portrait for both front and back camera. Also keep in mind that although its better than los. Some things still need fixing but for what u describes above, u should be OK.

That's nice hope it's going to be made officially available for G6 T-Mobile H872, unlike other custom Rom that didn't include us the T-Mobile version users.

What is WiFi ACN and can you send a link to to ROM? If it has working camera and video, telephony basics work (including TMobile WiFi calling), I'll try it.

Speaking of this -- what happens if you install an H870 or non T-Mobile custom ROM that was for another LG G6? The only difference would be the LTE bands supported, and I don't know if the ROM needs to be updated for that or if it is all handled through the SIM / Qualcomm Chipset.

no sorry, i just checked when was my last update and checked if mineworked because felt alarmed.
Here are my findings with Netflix on my note 9. Somehow netflix detects bootloader has been unlocked. Using a rom like devbase (and other custom roms) netflix will NOT appear in playstore, using google and searching for netflix on playstore takes you the app but gives you the error message as in the op. Flashing stock still does NOT solve the problem as in my case bootloader was still unlocked, only once i went into developer options and locked my bootloader did netflix work again out of the box.
I use the app on my N9 on pie with June security patch. No issues. Is there a different software version on ur device?
