Not able to use Netflix - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello all. I have a GT-N7100 running liqidsmooth ROM. I cannot run Netflix, it gets to loading film and stays there. I changed ROM back to Hawkish extreme ROM with a stock kernel, and lo and behold it worked got to load film screen and it streamed it straight away. Could my problem be to do with the non stock kernel(Liquidsmooth). So my question really is, is there a stock kernel that I could flash. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. By the way I also tried Avatar ROM.

Had this issue myself, my google skills told me that netflix uses a different video player on 4.2 roms, which all kernels (that I know of) dont seem to support. There is an xposed plugin that tricks netflix into thinking you have ICS, which then causes the app to use the video player that most kernels actually support.
User MikeySmikey has posted the details here.

Well thanks for enlightening me. I am going to try this straight away. I will post back the results. Once again thank you for the info.

Video playback lagging.

Sup guys,
I'm having a problem, recent when I try to watch videos online ( stock browser , skiyfire) it lags. The audio sounds fine but the video seems to.be playing frame by frame.
I updated flash but I still get the same thing. Do u guys know what I can do to solve this or can u share ur flash.apk, maybe the update messed up mine,
Thanks.

I'll try and find the thread after I post this, but try searching for "get hulu working on any rom", in the thread someone posted a modified flash .apk that tricked hulu into thinking it was a different version. That .apk runs flash flawlessly. Seriously no kidding. Worth the shot.
P.s. I'll check and see if I can find the thread, or upload a copy of the .apk if I can.

Lol, looks like the hyper link works on xda app.
Thanks man I seems to be working better , it still lags on that certain website(gnula.tv) but I just searched for the movie somehwere else and it works
Maybe its because theres too much flash in that site that it makes it lag.
Thanks tho it worked

I have a working version of miuiv4 and you can leave it using team rouge recovery should I post it or not ?

Why not? Maybe you can help jafterdark and T.C.P over in the development forum. Have you seen their work yet? It's coming along nice.

I will upload later I'm going to add a few apps it is based off of their work I've been running all day with no problems I just like flashing on the go without having to use Odin

Maybe you can answer a question for me. Why can't I get WMA, music files to play on MIUI v4? Stock player or any other ones don't work. How has your experience been with MIUI overall on our phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I haven't had any problems with the music players on this phone but I did have them on my photon never liked miui until v4 on the photon and ept4g
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Maybe those play correctly in your build. I never had that problem on GB MIUI. Do you have a wma encoded music file to try on yours?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes I will try and post results later tonight

ok here is my first build i have only tried this with team rouge recovery it is based off el29 if you flash and break your phone dont blame me
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/neWGAaz6cq/miuiv4_1.1.1.zip.html
I'll try it and let you know how it goes. Thanks.
Well, your version does work, but I don't see a lot of difference between this one and the one jafterdark and T.C.P had up. Maybe you can point out a few things to look out for.
BTW, WMA files work somewhat. The problem I think has to do with the way MIUI mounts the memory. I have 3700 songs on my SD and after the player finds them, it can play about 1 track per album, but then has trouble with the rest. I think it has something to do with the player not understanding the file system with the way MIUI interprets internal and external sd.
Not much difference besides no Odin but I'm going to try to work out the wma problem and add a few apps that the gx2 has that this doesn't
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I'm still running it. No real strong problems. I had to reverse internal and external memory mounts. The screen seems like it glitches a little less. Not sure if it's something you did, or just by chance.

Thanks I'll get the memory switched in the next build if you find anything else please post

Slow YouTube and pandora streaming.

I am rooted and on black bean 2 with the nyan kernel. My YouTube app won't stream videos over wifi. It plays for 5 seconds and buffers and then it goes over again.
Plus Pandora doesn't stream as well. This is over wifi OR 3g. It acts like it's going to play a song and then just skips to the next one. Then it does it again. So it's skipping through songs without actually playing anything.
I am on the 00002 Verizon prl so I get better than average sprint speeds in my area (I have a sprint Nexus).
So any tips for my poor streaming? My og evo streams just fine over wifi. Are there settings I can change? Or kernel and rom tweaks I can do?

This is really all u can do. Disable high quality streaming. If they are I don't know what else to do.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Same issue on black bean. I'm going to try some other kernals.
I'm going to go back to stock and test there. If it works then I know it's the rom/kernel combo. If it doesn't then I know it's the phone.
It just sucks being on wifi and STILL not being able to stream YouTube

I've personally edited my build prob. To stream faster. And you should use my Pandora.
I'm sure you'll love it NO ONE LIKES ADS... and I love to skip alot...Shh keep it on the down low
Here's the apk: https://www.box.com/shared/8b7c4787be177aa18fcc
If this gets taken down PM me for the apk

if it was the wifi freq then the phone wouldnt be able to get any connection at all, plus the OP mentions the problem over wifi and 3G.
Anyone on stock running into the issue? Ive tried a few kernels but its the same all over. It looks like a rom issue.
Just flashed simply android rom and it still doesn't stream pandora via 3g starting to think its my phone. Which is weird though cause I remember listening to Pandora a while back.

I'm getting the same thing on CNA 3.4.1
It must be Easter, Cuz my GNEX is destroying some Jelly Bean!!!
I have attempted several different .apk's as far back as Pandora 1.5.8
I've tried "modified" versions as well as google.market versions
I have located 1 version that works succesffuly on WiFi(I stopped looking after I was able to do that much)... but trust I attempted 10+ .apk's first.
So i've gotten it working on WiFi, but cannot for the life of me get it to work over 3g. I've got a Sprint Gnex myself, and this is becoming very frustrating.
I've been on black bean2, used the new BAMF Paradigm, currently running CNA latest, all with the same results regarding Pandora.
how bout the guy offering his file share those tweaked build.prop setting he was refering too?
doubt it's a setting i'm not familiar with, but i'm willing to try just about anything suggested right now
As far as YouTube, I am streaming a HQ XDA-Developers TV channel video right now as a test. HQ is a little .... I dunno the right word? rebuffers frequently but not horrible(i've gotten 1:30+ straight without inturruption). non HQ is seamless.
Maybe it is JB?

Google Play Movies WILL NOT Play my Movies.

So I have some purchased movies from Google. I recently tried to play one. It loads up, starts playing, and plays the first 9 seconds, buffers, jumps back to second 8 and boot loops between second 8 and 9 constantly. I went to Play Store and tried everything they suggested to troubleshoot the issue. Cleared cache. Pinned(downloaded the movie) for offline viewing. I even deleted it from system and reinstalled it. Nothing works. It plays 9 seconds and bootloops. I searched Google and XDA and couldn't find any threads relating to this issue. I have contacted Google directly and am awaiting a response.
Anyone else who can confirm this issue? Im running stock rooted LG8.

Correct Answer, you cannot play Google movies on a rooted phone or tablet, has to be stock. DRM(digital rights management) comes in to play which checks for root access, if root, then no play, because its easier to pirate a movie with root access

Not true, movies work on my rooted nexus7 and this phone as well. Google updated play to stop root issues and playback a couple months ago. I'm using cm10 on my phone and just downloaded all my movies as well as watched one, tablet is on paranoid ROM.
Earlier I was on codename, which would not let me download any movies.

Google made a big point last year (or was it hte year before?) to say that rooted devices will not be able to stream movies from Google.
I wonder if maybe AOSP ROm's like CM10 don't include the DRM APK's that would report on root to Google?
Still no response from Google. Still no movies streaming.
Google does allow rooted devices to stream. Im now running a stock jellybean rom leak. Still having the same exact problem.
I'm facing this issue too.. rooted deodex'd LJ7 build. I've seen some ROMs have removed DRM or something... Is that a way to get around this problem?
Try a different ROM. I am on free gs3 right now and just tested my movies, playback works fine.

Well this is troubling.. I flashed a stock odex'd rom and still facing the problem.
flashing sextape's stock tar now.. :\ hoping this helps
---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------
stock unrooted ROM did not present this issue.. Even after rooting no issue.
When I flashed a deodex'd rom is where I encountered this problem. This sucks lol

Play Movies Freezimg

Hi. Maybe someone has had the same experience and can help me. Recently I tried watching one of my purchased Play Store movies. I can not get it or any others to play. Either they do not play at all, I get an error with random numbers, or they play for 9 seconds then freeze. When they freeze at 9 seconds, the sound start making scratchy notices then it will loop back to 0 seconds and start over.
This is just on my Galaxy S3. Works fine on my Nexus 7. Also if I use my Galaxy S3 to stream to my ChromeCast it works fine.
I have looked online and xda for info and have found a few others cases, but no fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Play Movies. Cleared cache and data from Play Movies and others system apps. Remove/disabled any mods. Hid root. I'm currently on Wicked Sensations MK3, but it used to work on it. But just to check I have also flashed other ROMs including a Stock Rooted MK3. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I will go back to a MD4 ROM and see if it helps.
