Captions out of sync

Hello! I'm using official version 2.3 with an androip pc bluetimes mx5, and the captions are out of sync with Netflix. Have someone of you guys experienced anything similar? Any idea about how to fixing it?

Bests!

Would it be possible to modify the Netflix app further to allow control via keyboard/gamepad/remote? It would make controlling the app a lot easier on Android set-top boxes.
Currently, I have to control it via mouse/trackpad.

For someone smarter than I, perhaps.

I actually warned users about this app back when it was first discovered. There was a xda user that was taking my work and re-posting it, and similar apps were popping up all over the internet. Someone would complain about sync issues or color issues with my version, yet would say they found a different version on another site that worked. That version was in fact my version that had been posted elsewhere. I warned users to download directly from my links and not other sites because of that particular app you linked. You never know what you are downloading and you must be cautious.

To anyone who has worries about my version, don't download it. Simple as that. However, it is proven to be modified in only the ways I described. I could care less about your personal Netflix accounts. I have a great job and family, I have no need to try and screw anyone; on the contrary, I only wanted to offer more functionality to xda, functionality that I was already providing for my own Netflix experience.

Although it has been nearly two years since the malicious app you linked to was discovered, and I have note heard about it since. It is still a threat. Users should be cautious of the where they download their desired netflix version. Rest assured, xda would not let me continue to post this app if it was in any way malicious.

Have a great day, and sorry for no update.

Does anyone have the latest 2.4.0 Netflix APK?

I can't force the stupid Play Store to download it outside US.

@Dblfstr,
Possible to modify the latest 2.4.0 with this hack?

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Or can share what to edit for changing the subtitle size? I already decompiled the app, trying to figure what to edit for subtitle size..

Hi there

I too suffer with this problem (like most people around here) and have been waiting for a solution.
I'm a developer and yesterday I finally decided to give it a shot and help you guys finding the spot.

I reverse engineered the latest netflix that was installed in my own phone and I found one spot that will work
for sticking a hard coded font size!

File: ./com/netflix/mediaclient/PlayScreen.smali

Method:

Code:

.method setSubtitle(Ljava/lang/String;)V

After the following invocation:

Code:

invoke-virtual {v2, v1, v3}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setText(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;Landroid/widget/TextView$BufferType;)V

I put the following:

Code:

const/high16 v5, 0x4080 invoke-virtual {v2, v5}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextSize(F)V

I generated the above lines coding some random android application, packing and decompiling with apktool.

And I managed to change the font size. The number I used was just some random number (it was 4.0 and ended up too small), now we only need to find a suitable font size.

This is not the most elegant solution, but it works and because it sets the font size every time the subtitle text is set, it makes sure it doesn't matter whether the application tries to change it anywhere else.

I hope it helps cook the next APK with a decent font size we all long for!

Is there a way to run Netflix on Android 2.1? My phone is not upgradeable.

DonPuri · Oct 10, 2013

Awesome mod! It's exactly what Im looking for my HDMI dongle. Maybe it's possible you upload a newer version of the app?

1.8.1 with big subtitles?

Dblfstr said:

Hi, can you make the 1.8.1 version with only the hack for big subtitles? the 1.8.1 is the only version that works with Ouya without pauses everytime the ouya controller turns off.

You''ll be the hero for all ouya owners, we dont have an official netflix yet, meanwhile this can be our solution.

latest version

Anyone managed to get the subtitle hack working with the latest netflix app yet ? I ended up with even smaller letters than in the stock verison, and it would not change at all after changing the numbers. I also tried the version listed in this thread, but I was getting flickering/choppy video on my rk3066 tv stick.
