[Q] Netflix on G2 CM7 not working.

[istrebitjel]

Just speculation, but I'm curious if it has to do with the fix cyanogen used on flash 10.2. Flash has since been broken again, but that was implemented in RC3 correct? Might have borked some video things.

I think you're on to something.

I also have trouble playing flash movies on my G2/CM7.0.3 - example - same symptoms: Audio, but no video.

eck, i'm sure they will fix it in newer versions, but definitely good to know custom rom users aren't totally locked out! I'll patiently (anxiously) await a nice gb fix.

Just download this version of 10.2 to get Flash working on your browser again.

Seems to already be established, but it's definitely CM 7.0.3. I installed the stock firmware and Netflix works (even with the leaked Gingerbread radio). I reinstalled CM and it doesn't work.

I am going to be running the stock OS until CM gets a chance to fix this. Thanks to clockwork and nandroid backups it will take only 5 minutes to switch back when the time comes.

One thing this has driven home to me is how much better CM is than the stock OS. I had forgotten what a piece of crap the stock OS is. Hopefully this will be a simple fix for CM so I can go back ASAP.

Thanks, well at least I can watch flash movies again, even if it didn't have to do with the Netflix problem

Since i purchased my G2 and took the plunge in rooting it. The first ROM I installed was CM7. Lately i've been sporting a ROM from Blackdroid 'UD Nightly #12' which I fell in love with.

Now with this Netflix app working on stock ROMs, and I couldn't get it to work on my UD ROM, i switched to CM6.1.1 which Netflix works flawlessly.

I didn't nandroid my 'original' stock ROM, which brings me to the question - where can I find my original 2.2 stock ROM so I can go back. Not to where I wouldn't be rooted anymore, but the stock ROM thats rooted?

Logcat

By the way, in the log I see the following

D/nf-player( 3326): Payload is in multiple properties, extract it...

D/TAG     ( 3326): [B]Not Android 3.x+ with drm.play. Skip send display.[/B]

Any guesses?

That doesn't mean they're unrelated though, as cyanogen modified the rom to fix flash in one of the rc's. It's possible that whatever he did is messing with netflix video somehow. This is just speculation and I'm no expert in development. Whatever fix he did for that 10.2 could be why no subsequent flash version will work.

So let's all just blame adobe for our netflix problems. Lol

EDIT: hmmm, that log is interesting.

Flashed back to CM6.1.1

It works perfect now.

Same here. I also pinged cyanogen via twitter to encourage resolution. If more people do this it might get some attention.

I never tried stock, its so badddd. Like 3 min to boot. Countless other things I have just taken for granted. I love you CM, but I love watching netflix at work slighty more.

Can confirm it working just fine on #77. Not really sure what was fixed to apply to another rom. Changelog maybe?
