Just updated the Netflix app, 4.3 optimizations, etc, and while I can browse the library, I get an error message upon playback. Something about not being able to contact the Netflix servers. Also tried on my HTC One X w/ CM 10.1, and it worked just fine on the same internet connection.

N7.2 with stock ROM (2 OTA updates), unlocked, and rooted.

Anyone else getting this error?

After updating, I had the same problem last night. I was able to remedy it by unistalling Netflix, reinstalling it and signing back in. If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache for Netflix App.
Good luck!

Sorry for being late. I was on the cm10.2 kang. I didn't have to clear the app, just started it up.

Would somebody mind pulling the apk for me? Every time I try to download I get "Package invalid" on both my N4 and N7.

Both are running CM 10.2 and I hope that is not the issue.

I have problem being able to login at all with my Netflix app. It responds with the typical wrong password or username popup, even though I'm certain the credentials are correct. Have anyone experienced this?
