[DEV][APP] Netflix Updated 03-28-11

[aydreeuhn]

Any word on an update on this? I think its netflix side on this based off the not able to receive info from server error and the netflix site saying Android (obsolete) under list of devices. Once the service goes live I think it should work.

Yea I think once the LG Revolution is released and Netflix works for it (not to mention access to its hardware) devs will look into it again

Did notice on my Netflix accoutn page, that my android device is showing up, but states obsolete next to it....interesting that they track your phone that way, but it Could be scary too!

Netflix was steaming, too bad they shut it down.

It is working on my Dinc, not streaming but browsing and queue works. For some reason it would not work with wifi, so I disabled wifi and am using 3g and it works good.

Thanks for the early app.

Yea might be a bad thing because now they could tell what phone is being used to access their app and limit access unless it's a phone they approve of.

i wonder if it is just something simple like the app checks the build.prop to see what the model of phone is. idk what the revolution is going to have as far as processor to know if it could possibly check for something in the hardware, and if it does, if it can be "tricked" into throwing a "false positive" of sorts, ya know? idk. not an extremely talented person when it comes to development but i know a little. just my thoughts.

just a question, i dont have my phone nor feel like getting up but does anyone have a logcat they can put on pastebin of when they run the app to see what exactly it is looking for or doing? if its just trying to reach an external service it could be the first thought where netflix just doesnt have the service up. if not and its the device side we could know where to go from there.

nevermind, just got my phone so ill run it and post it up for everyone to oggle at if there wasnt one up already.

what i believe will be a little more cleaned up version from the one below:

Most devices if not all i believe, netflix ready i mean, are supposedly going to be some sort of dual core

yeah, i mean, to deny the service it would have to be on some check from the apk where it is checking something wether it be something simple like the phone model or other bit in the build.prop or other area or a check on the hardware. idk, have to see what it reads out. once again though, im no pro, just have a basic understanding.

the qualcom 8655 is in the revolution instead of the 8650 which is in our phone. both look to be single core, and both armv7 processors. i dont think it would be something with the processor as far as a check there.

Anyone see the new update to this? Now it won't even let it open.

Sorry no new updates. Effectively Netflix has fixed the "issue" and the app is just for accessing your queue.

blah. just a question, and not that it could make a dif or not, but has anyone tried installing this as a system app? i havent and cant right now bc i only have my cr48 here and no adb but just wondering.

Don't know if anyone knows but the easiest way to stream my Netflix to my since was using playon. Works fantastic on my dinc my tbolt and tab. You download to computer get app on device log on to wifi to sinc after setup. Switch back to 3g pick movies in Netflix que and play. Little more to it but its super easy. Even works at home using whole home on directv going through same actions. No need to use ps3 or 360 to stream. Anyway just fyi.
