[Q] HBO Go + Dinc + Warm Z Rom = ? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to find some useful information about the HBO Go app for my Dinc. I have Warm Z 2.2 Nightlies installed and it works phenomenally. I love the rom.
I can't remember which date was the last time I updated, but estimate was around 5-5. The new Netflix app works fine, but I would like to take advantage of HBO Go as well.
The app was available to me in the market, I downloaded, it installed, I signed in... all perfectly fine. When I try to play a video it behaves as expected, and then after showing the HBO Go intro bit (Which I assume is preloaded into the software since it never needs to load) it won't load the video. It doesn't hang the phone or anything. It just sits there on a black screen with the loading circle going and going. I've tried on both Wifi and 3G and let it sit for a good while.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone have HBO Go running with the nightlies of Warm Z and the Dinc? If so, when was your last rom install? I really hate to mess with mine unless I'm confident of a solution as this particular rom is so stable and snappy with everything else I like on it.
Thanks in advance.

I've been running Cyanogen7 lately and been watching HBO Go with no problems.
I flashed the latest warm Z nightly build today to test this and installed HBO Go from the market. I had the same issue, the preloaded HBO Go intro plays but just a loading screen after that. I restored my nandroid backup of Cyanogen and loaded the same episode and it played just fine, so it definitely seems like a problem with the ROM.
Hope it helps.

I am having the issue on a different device but your post is the only other one I've seen on this.
I have a Huawei S7...it worked fine on Eclair, but I recently upgraded to Huawei's 2.2 Indonesian build (it's stock but for a slightly different device). HBO GO no longer shows up in the market, and movies on my backed up version hang after the HBO GO intro.
The market issue and the hanging could have slightly different causes though. I'll check back if I run across a fix for this.
I saw a few errors in logCat which suggested that some properties couldn't be read (or found). Have you done a logCat for this issue?

...I am having the same problem with MLB At Bat. ...not listed in the market....won't play videos when I sideload.
This is frustrating. Both worked fine before I flashed 2.2.2.

What happened to the Netflix app?

I was about to watch something on my Netflix app and it says there is an update for it that I need to stream. The it says item not found. So I can't stream Netflix. I also went on the market and it appears they took it off. Does anyone know what's going on?
-shrugs- I don't know...I'm streaming it right now. Did it to test it.
See the link below:

Netflix is aware that the app won't work on the Evo's with the GB update, so I would assume like any other app that isn't compatible with your software version, it disappears from the market until they make it compatible. I would have to think they will have it fixed within a day or two.
Yeah mine works but my friends doesn't. Could it have something to do with me running salvage-mod and him on stock both rooted.
I'm using it fine with GB update on my evo. Its not in the market though. I got it off one of these threads. Sorry I forgot which one otherwise I'd post the link.
I am running the deck gingerbread rom and mine doesn't work either.
Hopefully they fix it soon. Weather bug is not working either.
my netflix works but im running CM7. someone else posted that netflix wont work if you use sense based roms but cm7 i a froyo framework. And i think they are right

Netflix failure to stream...Virtuous Unity 2.3.9?

Running two Incredible 2's. One stock ROM, one VU2.3.9.
Netflix app loads fine on both. Stock phone streams just fine. VU phone get the following error message when you go to play:
"Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persist please visit the Netflix website (11000)."
I've reloaded, but not help. Side by side, one works the other does not. Is this due to my ROM or something else?
I just re-installed an old VU ROm copy and it now seems to work on that. I'd still like to troubleshoot what was wrong before. Install and re-install the app had no effect.
Never had that problem on VU myself.
I sometimes get errors on Netflix, but I think it's an issue on their end, not the phone.
Runs fine for me on 2.39.
I had it randomly crap out on me on MIUI for about 2 days, then it was back to normal- I agree, it might be an issue on their end.
the only problem with netflix on my VU 2.3.9 is that I can't get it to work on wifi, netflix would automatically signed me off and display an error about my device has been removed from netflix, but it work just fine when i turned on the 3G and leave wifi off.

Netflix down

FYI, just updated my FTV to the latest CMW and pre-rooted firmware. Updated Netflix and gives me error NW-4-8. I go to Netflix and they have put up a banner (after you log in) that some devices are having issues currently. I was wondering if someone running the latest firmware (the updated version) can confirm if they are having issues (after they had the latest version working)? I am wondering if I did something wrong on my install....
Thanks.
Hi im on latest pre-rooted ROM by rbox and im watching the Netflix right now no problem.
*UPDATED* I exit Netflix and re run the Netflix. Bingo they are down this time. So you aren't only one so count us in.
PS. I tested run my Verizon note 3 able run Netflix and working fine.
PSS. Now my Amazon fire tv Netflix is back online. Very ODD!
Update
Netflix was working fine for me yesterday with pre rooted rom new update. I tried this evening and it's not working at the moment. I tried checking network says all good, tried signing out and errors. Tried reinstalling Netflix still no go. Weird how it worked now it is not. Error I get is code ui-113.
Update: got to login screen seems to be working now.. very weird.
Works now... Took couple of tries.. Thanks.
Using an AFTV from Canada and using a DNS service to view other regions. It was working yesterday but now having issues (got error aip-701)
anyone else?
Most of the times these issues are from ISP throttling Netflix traffic. The banner about problems streaming to "some devices" is up more than it is down I think.
Just to chime in on this topic, the latest update/new netflix app seems to have more connectivity issues that the old one, the old one was not perfect either, but I can tell you the newest firmware/netflix gives me errors on playback or startup/logging in quite frequently, I have 3 FTV's all rooted in my house. 1 is on latest update/netflix other two are on firmware just before that one, Netflix will stop working or give errors on new firmware way way more frequently than old ones. But it always works/plays if I switch to the other one. Hopefully they fix that
I haven't had any Netflix issues since the updated latest firmware. Been watching it every day.
For me, after I entered the login details, netflix app is crashing(basically it goes back to the page where it is launched from). I have created a thread for this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/netflix-app-crashes-login-details-t2934865

Kodi not loading anything

Ok I have two firesticks, one I bought for myself and one I recently bought for a friend as a house warming present. I set mine up loaded kodi installed apollo build etc. And everything works fine apart from occasionally it closing on me. I went to do the same thing I did before but on my friends firestick and nothing would work. I can install a custom build fine but I couldn't stream anything, so I've cleared all the data from kodi and tarted fresh, this time I've not loaded any custom build I just downloaded the fusion repo and installed one add on in this case exodus. I go into exodus and I click on latest movies and nothing opens.
I've tried various different add ons and nothing will load anything. Has anyone got any clue why this is happening or what I'm doing wrong? It's driving me mad.
I'm sorry, but you won't get support for piracy add-ons.

Which otter rom works with Hulu?

So I just installed the latest nightly cm-11 rom found in Hashcode's thread. Everything seemed to work fine but Hulu and amazon video. Amazon video is just very slow though so I chalked that up to it being a real real old tablet.
Hulu doesn't play video at all. Outside of maybe a 2 second cartoon network sign before an episode is about to start. It just closes the app as the video is about to load.
I remember having a similar issue with a cyanogenmod rom on a nexus 7. I tried changing some of the HDCP settings in the developer settings but it still didn't work.
I noticed most of the new roms are otterx now. I rather not change to otterx since the tablet is just going to be used for hulu, youtube, plex and maybe netflix.
Just wondering if anyone can recommend an otter rom that has Hulu working?
Edit: I have tried a couple of roms they all just fail after the first boot after I install a couple of apps. All roms will eventually crash and not boot up again. If I rebooted before it crashed it would not boot up again. Not sure if that is a known problem or if this old tablet is just dying. It seemed to be working fine on the stock rom.
Just went back to the stock rom after trying like 7 otter roms. It stopped failing right away so not really sure what the problem is. Hulu didn't seem to work on any of the roms though before they failed.
