Netflix?

Is there a modded .apk for Netflix floating around somewhere? I had the official on my Inc1, and no official yet for Inc2. I tried a modded .apk from the DX, but all I got was a white screen and no sound.
This is one thing I really miss from my old phone...that and root, lol...but alas I have GB, and I'm stuck.
Thanks guys

If you are in GB there is a patch out there that fixes the white screen. I don't have the link cuz I'm working. If you google search RMK netflix patch u should find it. But you do need root for this to work. If you don't have it sorry for the tease.

I get sound but no video with those.
EDIT: Well after installing the patch it's working great. I'm running gingersense rom.

I'm not rooted, but I'll check out the link in the 2nd post

As I said, I'm not rooted, and there's not an official Netflix.apk for us yet.

Best I could get with any modded apk on XDA was the white screen with sound, but now that I'm rooted, and running CM7 it works fine

Got it from there... when I open it it asks to update and takes me to the official Netflix app in the market, I'd say it IS the official app. But you are right, it isn't for US per se.
I was just letting everyone know that I got it to work without the patch.
I tried all the apks from the second post and none would install.

Yup! That netflix worked without a problem. I copied the APK into my dropbox folder for easy retrieval for anyone else needing it:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/170406/droid apps/com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk

Tried it, no dice here. Installed fine, showed my queue. White screen, sound only.

Worked for me and no white screen. Installed great

On non-root GB 2.3.3 (OTA update) like OP? With watchable movie playing (not just que selections)?
If so, what is the full .apk name, please?

Hey downloaded this but get a white screen when trying to play a show. Audio is fine.

Not rooted and all I get is a white screen and audio.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

I too only got a white screen, good audio... Just like with the marketplace app, on non root
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App

Now the Netflix App is supported in the Marketplace....but I still only get a white screen with audio.
Hoping Netflix updates the app soon.

I'm on the rooted 2.3.3 rom and Netflix won't stream video for me either. Audio is fine, but the screen is white.

I downloaded it from the market as well...audio only and just a white screen.

Same white screen on non rooted ota gingerbread ...

modified youtube hd working on cm9

here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.

Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.

i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.

Didn't the market update to 2.4.4 allow for HD playback?

Why is the Epic not capable with the standard version?

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget

Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.

Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.

Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!

I've bought tv shows with a custom ROM, But couldn't tell you wish one I was running when I bought it. I didn't have an issue though.

Doesn't work on AOKP but it does on cm10. Although only in SD regardless of whether you purchased HD. For me anyway.

I've been able to stream and download Google Play movies on Eclipse ROMs but not on AOKP ROMs, including the latest Milestone 1. I don't know why we can't on AOKP but I'm against it.

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

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] Why can't I watch my movies in HD on Google Play Movies with an AOSP ROM?

On every AOSP ROM I've tried, I can't seem to find a way to play my movies from Google in HD or download them in HD. They only play in sd quality. And download a file that's only 200MB prior to the HD file that's supposed to download which is 2gigs+ does anyone else have this problem or found a fix for it? I really like what AOSP has turned out to be but I keep coming back to TW cuz of my movies.

Are you using an AOSP built for the new bootloader (4.4.2)? The new device tree has issues with hd
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Yes I am and even before that I couldn't watch HD movies. It's been like that since the old boot loader
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I had issues with watching HD Google play movies on AOSP with the old bootloader too but YouTube and downloaded videos were fine. Now I only experience the problem with HD on AOSP when on the new builds. I'm still on the 4.3 bootloader so I have the option to choose thankfully. I haven't tried Google play for videos lately though. I just use moviedroid for my video watching needs.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Hmmm. How did you get it to work on the 4.3 boot loader?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I haven't had Hd video issues on 4.3 AOSP since way early builds so I can't answer that. It was more a change done to the ROM by the developer.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

This is still an issue for me btw.

I'm in the same boat. Luckily, I can at least cast them to my Chromecast, but it does suck not being able to watch them on my device if I'm away from my TV.
I have this issue on both my 2012 Nexus 7 (running CM11) and my Droid RAZR HD (XT926) running CM11, Gummy, etc.
It only works when I'm on stock KK for both devices.
Not sure if it's an issue with AOSP in general (seems to be) or an issue with GAPPs. I don't think it's GAPPs as I've removed and reinstalled Google Play Movies from the Google Play store.
I also notice that I cannot send apps to my phone from the Google Play web page if I attempt to install from the web page.

I'm wondering of its because you're rooted. I remember when Google play movies could not play on rooted devices. I had to use voodoo to unroot & root again to get it to play.

Ummm I don't think so because my note 3 is running a rooted stock ROM but I think it's a kernel issue because I put a custom kernel on my stock ROM and it made google play movies to stop playing completely

I just don't know what is making custom kernels not google play movie friendly

I agree. Under stock, I'm rooted and movies will play. Under non-stock roms, they won't work except via Chromecast.

Yea or anything with a custom kernel. This is the only phone that I have a problem with Google play movies playing. That's why I'm stuck in Stock rooted rom. The only rom that didn't cause trouble for me was wicked
