Hey guys. I thought of trying to watch a netflix movie on the phone. Used dolphin browser on desktop mode and it got me to the play screen, but then netflix told me I needed silverlight...i clicked to download that and of course I get a .exe file.
I searched and did not see an apk for silverlight...is there anything similar that will trigger playback of media that requires silverlight?
Or maybe better but highly doubtful, is there a release of silverlight for android?
If no to the above, anybody working on a fix for this? Got hulu working, now let's get netflix going!
Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
Quite simple, nope. Microsoft claims Silverlight is too big for Android (and given that it's a Microsoft POS... Yeah, I'm inclined to agree).
Netflix has said they're going to be coming out with an Android app "soon," since they released iPad and iPhone apps.
and there is no way to get at the stream directly from outside the silverlight environment with an app similar to the hulu app?
I know netflix hired an android dev recently but I wonder how long the turnaround time will be for the app...

Where is this Hulu app?? I cannot find it..
its under themes & apps a page or two in...
what about moonlight? I installed the sdk and saw a demo app that played a silverlight video. how come noone has developed this further?!

Unfortunately, no, you can't get it outside of Silverlight. Silverlight is required for the DRM that Netflix uses to prevent you from downloading movies (a la YouTube). The sole exception is the devices which have Netflix support (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.) which in turn have their own strong DRM, and encrypt the stream.
makes sense.
damn I guess we're stuck until the app gets released...whenever that is!

Where is this app? I looked when it was mentioned but didn't see it. Does it actually work?

I call BS, no one from Microsoft said this. SL is one the main programming languages in Windows Phone 7 (I've been a SL dev since version 1.1 alpha) and runs on pretty comparable Android hardware just fine.
It's a simple decision to not support Linux. SL supports the Mac and Windows platform and pays licenses for every copy downloaded because of some commercial media codecs they're using in the runtime. Linux support has been relegated to Novel who support Silverlight through the Mono/Moonlight project, and they provide their own codec alternatives to get around the licensing issues.
Silverlight is a very fast moving tech, in the last 3 major releases, an average 8 out of 10 top developer requested features were implemented by the Silverlight teams at Microsoft. Right now, the #1 requested feature for the next version, by far, is greater platform support:

In the old Windows Mobile world Skyfire was a way to view full Flash and Silverlight content, but alas their Android version currently doesn't support this.

Greg Peters, of Netflix, announced that select android phones will be getting Netflix streaming early next year. It's "select" because the android platform does not have a common DRM solution, and Netflix's content providers require it in order to allow streaming media. The "select" phones have not been announced, and Greg Peters said that they unfortunately have to work with manufacturers on a phone by phone basis in order to get the required DRM.
All I know is, if you have Sprint TV, which you should if you have an Evo (I have an Epic myself), Sprint's very own version of DRM is baked in. If Netflix has been talking to Samsung and Sprint to get instant streaming on the Sprint Android phones, we may already have what we need in order to get it (when it finally comes out, that is).
I'm just mad that WP7 had Netflix at launch. On another note iPhone's get all the love and priority. That's one thing I miss about my iPhone, the apps.
I'm thinking of buying an iPod Touch and using that for Netflix via Wifi Tether. I talk to a lot of Netflix higher ups and never get a chance to ask them about it.

Looks like the Mono/Moonlight team are working on porting Moonlight to Android phones. They had a demo at Mix11 (I'd link you to the blog post I just saw about it, but I guess I need to post more often to be allowed to link to outside sources).
Just Google for "jeffrey stedfast moonlight android" and it should be the first match.
Mono developers were laid off... no more .net for linux for a long while...
Do we have moonlight already on Android?
Hi all,the ITV player is now updated with live streaming feeds but still restricted to Wi-Fi only. From the news update at engadget mobile, they mentioned that the service is following the footsteps of BBC and Channel 4. Does anyone know where to get the channel 4 app or what it's being called or how to download it? Couldn't find it in the Android market. Cheers
Sorry about the mix up,I thought the app included live streaming. It doesn't. Its still the same app release a few weeks ago. Disregard the post please.
doh
fancy changing the title? It got my hopes up
Gutted! market says it not compatable with my Sim free desire!

Hi,
Sorry I am new to Samsung watch, Samsung store, and Tizen OS.
I did some research, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active could fit me because I like its stable OS and smooth operation. Before purchasing it, I'd like to make sure if I can find below app in Samsung store and install it into Galaxy Watch Active because one-button inconspicuous voice recording is one important feature I need.

(Sorry I have to put parenthesis in above link because this forum does not allow newbies to post http links)
Can anyone help me check that?
I tried to look for it at Samsung store online but to no avail. I did not know how to find app from there. It seems I have to buy Samsung watch as a gateway to see the app available.
Thanks a lot!:highfive:
I don't remember if it let you search for watch apps without having a watch. With that being said, its a paid app and if its in the galaxy store it should fine for a galaxy gear watch regardless of version

Secret Recorder and Secret Recorder Pro both appear in the Samsung Store app with a Galaxy Watch.
I believe that both the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active run Tizen 4, so the app should be available for the Active as well.
