I was able to login and browse/manage queue.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150 Modded apks. No need to edit build.prop. Worked on my NookColor.

Could be an interesting way to manage your que on the fly but until netflix fixes their standardization codec issues with android thats probably as far as we are going to get

It wouldn't let me watch anything. I got excited for a second. It said "sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (1005)" I wonder if anyone has any idea's on how to fix this.

LOL me too! But it is one step closer. Now we have the apk....

APK attached.

Well, at least now I can manage my Queue without worrying about a third-party app stealing my credentials.

How did you install it? I tried installing it through Root Explorer on rooted stock and got a parsing error. Froyo and above only maybe?

Edit: Installed w/out issue using Root Explorer on my DROID. I can't believe there's still no Netflix queue management other than from 3rd party apps. Although once the streaming gets the "go" button, it'll be a slick app. I was given the option to resume an instant movie I was just watching on my Tivo but it started loading then took my back to the instant queue page.

The streaming failure has nothing to do with codecs. Netflix has a DRM protection implemented on the app that currently only supports a very limited amount of hand selected processors and firmware. In order to enable streaming were going to have crack the DRM. *braces for a long night*

I used Astro, been using that a lot lately to install apk's works well.

Same here. Boy does this make me happy though knowing were close to being able, I hope. Been waiting for this app for so long. Dying to see how long ths takes.

Update, it looks like if we can get the lib files for the apk that seem to be missing, you can create a work around with a modified app.

You don't need a dual core......you "need" a chip with baked in DRM.....or patience to wait for someone to break the DRM.

Feel saved yet?

If your read some of the other forums it looks like people have a lot of ideas and we might have something soon.

Hey, np. Been wanting netflix fot some time myself, so I keep up on the state of things.

Here's the whole story(as I understand it). Netflix wasn't allowed to put out anything for android or any linux, due to lack of integrated DRM. The new chips that are coming out have a DRM scheme baked in at the hardware level.

What this means for us...gonna have to wait for someone to create a method to lie to the app, telling it that the DRM is present. Also, there will need to be a software based replacement for the DRM module, for decoding the stream.

You would think they would give up on DRM. If they can make it, someone will break it.

I thought about that already, but it was from AndroidCentral.com and it was ripped from a LG ROM..... so its probably good.

Im guessing nothing ever came of this release? This wouldve been so great to have on my nook.

Technically the release worked, but Netflix killed it at their end, so no other devices could use it. Once they turn it back on.... who knows.
