Netflix on ICS - Desire General

Has anybody managed to stream any videos using netflix on ics? All I get is a blank screen with audio.
Other apps which stream video seem to work ok. Imdb etc.

probably the same issue as camera preview?

Possibly. Will wait and see how it works with future builds.

Video problems.

Well it seems I've had a persistent problem with my rooted G2. I used the visionary method and everything seems good. But recently anything video related freezes. Ill try to play a youtube video (Strong Wifi connection) and it'll freeze. Like ill still hear the audio but not the video it just stays black or on one image. & everytime I try to watch videos I have stored in my sd card the video player crashes or shows nothing.
Anyone had the same issue? I'm pretty sure its not a hardware problem because ill play PSX or angry birds and it runs perfectly fine. Anyone have a fix for this?

how do you stream in HD?

it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

Hd YouTube only works on wifi unless you un install with titanium and flash custom one YOU MUST RESTART YOUR PHONE BETWEEN UNINSTALL AND NEW INSTALL

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

The Netflix app I'm not sure about, but a quick search might find it for you
noted for future reference on my Note 2

this! I tried this earlier with TIBU but I can't install it. Apparently it stayed at my app drawer so it blocked me from installing it. I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

[Q] unable to play mkv in mx, but stock player plays some?

This is driving me nuts, got the 8 as an anime player since the tegra processor in the nexus played mkvs well, thought this would too. Nope, mxplayer errors outon all videos, and what is odd is the stock video player plays half of them but not all. It isnt an issue with 10bit, as it will play a 10bit cile I have but some older ones it only will play a few of them. How would I go about finding the cause and fixin it?
Try change to s/w decoder not sure if you have tried it, its default setting is h/w
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
For some reason h/w mode gives problems on almost all my videos. Weird glitches like audio and video being WAY out of sync and s/w mode fixes all that.

Netflix in HD with root?

Anyone here rooted and or with a custom ROM able to get Netflix to play at 1080p? Mine won't. Don't know of its because of root, deodex, not stock, slow internet, etc. Anyone able to chime in?

The most I've gotten is 720p, but I've read in the CleanRom thread that Hulu will play 1080p. The problem is either Netflix or your internet speed.

How can you tell if its playing in 720 or 1080 p? I just played the expendables 2 and it looks very good but I don't see where it said what quality.
So here is what I can tell you, you have video quality settings in your account on Netflix. Set that to best, then you have to have a high speed internet, even at that apparently to get HD your ISP has to have signed with Netflix for Netflix to stream it.
I noticed that my Google play movies will not play in HD on anything but the stock ROM. I can be rooted and get HD but not on a custom rom. Cleanrom won't even work. This is weird to me.

Netflix will range from low quality to HD to 1080p(if supported). 1080p on a 7" tab is overkill and much more bandwidth intensive. It would be skipping all over unless you have an almost flawless connection.

Netflix has been updated to work flawlessly on JB 4.3 !
Just update it
Does anyone know what shows/movie support 1080p right now?

[Q] Video content Apps LAG when playing HQ videos in HULU/NETFLIX

Looking to see if anyone else has the problem with the video stutters but audio is fine in apps like HULU or Netflix. For my note 3 it feels like the apps are not updated to support this awsome device yet. Does anyone notice this or have the same problem? Or is it just my Note?
Hulu lags for me too and I'm on strong wifi. No idea what's wrong

My note stutters on hulu too.
Sent from my SM-N900T
I msged hulu trying to get this fixed and they won't help me it looks like without proving my IMEI number which is just plain dumb.
Has anyone found a solution for this or is it just certain devices? It is very bothersome not being able to use apps.
I get stutters on any 1080p YouTube video and any video inside of chrome or stock browser.

Really? Man this just doesn't make sense. This thing is a powerhouse and it can't play videos. ...Samsung FAIL
