Ok so i know im a noob moron so maybe you guys can tell me. Do you think the nook color rooted when we get flash will be able to play netflix movies or is the hardware just to low end?

Netflix does not use flash. Netflix uses Silverlight.

There is not a Netflix app out for android either.

Swyped from my Mynion using the Xda App.

Ahh i see. So there ya have it. Im a moron lol. Ok so the question is how can i make it play . Some brilliant young guy can surely make it happen if the hardware can handle it.

Unless an official app is released, it just won't happen.

Orb Live

I believe Orb is working on a port of their new app for Android, I use it for Netflix and Hulu content on my iPhone that I wouldn't normally be able to watch (Hulu content that hasn't been licensed for mobile, mostly). It's possible that after they get the app going for Android that you'll be able to watch Netflix content via it's interface.

The only downside is that I believe you have to have access to your PC that has the orb caster software installed (it does the actual rendering and casting of the video to your mobile device). As it sits right now, I can't watch Hulu content without being in wireless range of my computer.

Wait, I have orb to watch TV with on my nook and iPhone, how do you set it up for Netflix?

 

[animatechnica]

until they square away DRM for Netflix and Android - don't expect it - it migh be awhile although i read somewhere that Netflix is working on an Android app

Playon.tv also handles Netflix, but their android client isnt out yet

There is a handset coming with Netflix preloaded, I don't know what is in the app though, I would assume playback is possible in the future. Also, there are other options such as Videos5 and a Hulu hack for when Froyo/2.3 rolls out.

 

[VillainousVivi]

you need to have the orb controller, which I believe is only available on iPhone, though I haven't checked the market lately to find out if it's available for Android yet.

The Netflix app for Android is out there. Its on the LG Revolution. Someone needs to get a copy of it.

 

[animatechnica]

Just need to confirm if that is a streaming app or just a scheduling app

A work around

The way you can work around this is easy to do, but will run you some $$$.

First, get a Slingbox.

Second, you need a TiVo XL or something the slingbox can control. The slingbox needs to control a device using netflix. The TiVo XL has netflix built into it.

Third, get the Slingbox app for your android phone. I was watching tons of movies @ the gym.

 

[beehiveblack]

slingbox you say...hahaha. off to shop.

 

[gforce75]

save money and get it from ebay. i've seen the slingbox hd for $229 there. @bestbuy, $299 + tax. all slingbox does is redirect what your looking and shoots it over the internet (ie... your phone being on the net and for the love of god, if you have ATT with data caps, it will run you). i used my slingbox app yesterday and was watching king of the hill. i'm in the military (in GA for school) and my TiVo is in KS. Technically when i deploy, i can use my nook off a wireless internet connection in iraq and watch tv as is live and with netflix.

I am pretty sure it is streaming, I know this came out a few months ago for Verizon I believe, not positive though. I just know that I had a Netflix scheduling app for my g1 and was jealous when a streaming app was released. This all of course is based on memory so I could be very wrong.

I think you are going about the gym all wrong
