Hi again,

Netflix sends HD quality to the app they supply for Apple TV, PS3 ect...its just as they state on their own support site, that the android app is limited to 480p support. So I would expect that it iss a limitation in the app rather than the video stream?

I dont know if this is usefull to you, it it just my assumption. Anyhow, you guys still did a great job ;) Thanks again.

Wow. Nice .i use xmbc 1channel since im on jb rom now. Good work guys
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Netlflix may need to update their site. They stated that the first Android devices to receive HD would be those with TI OMPA4 processors. This was over a year ago. Since we have had phones with said processor. Also, they may say that to save their own a$$. AFAIK, Netflix detects your data connection and sends the best quality available (this is for every device that can play Netflix). Now, 480p will look pretty damn good on that tiny little screen. Netflix also has so many different version of each movie it is ridiculous. This is so they can support so many devices. You may watch a movie one day and it looks great. However, the next day it is unwatchable. You may even notice the quality change while you are watching.

For Netflix to send 1080p to a phone with a resolution between 480p and 720p (with all the various one in between) would make no sense. and making a universal app for Android is not an easy task. They cannot even create a single DRM service across platforms due to different technologies.

Lots of little random tidbits of information there. It has been a while since I even worried about such things, so I am probably behind the times on some of this, and maybe wrong in some areas. Changing subtitles is one things, you can upscale a font pretty easily. Telling Netflix to send you an HD verison of a movie even though it knows you have a device that cannot run at such high resolutions is... improbable..But the point is, Netflix will determine when and what is sent to an android device.

Tried this app on a MK808 stick connected to 720P tv, and subtitles was perfekt. :)

Only thing is that I'm used to subtitles with white color, is it possible to change the color?

(I guess I have to try to decompile the apk)

Depends on the movie I think. I have seen both. Even in the screenshots on the previous page show white and yellow.

I'm testing it its working very good .

Thanl you very much excelent work.

Sujestions for subtitles

# color yellow black border its the best combination.

#No shadows

#Aligned center

# location Botom of the image

Sample how t works (UPDATE: It seams that the site were i posted the image was hacked. i hope when they get rid of the hacking the original image is posted. )

update2: i did remove the image to avoid any confussion.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

I have just finished testngit on a tv at 720p resolution.

They realy look much bigger.

Some observations, due the font is a thin one bigger letter (double size)s will improve the reading, also the wide black border will improve the reading.

I know you can't modify any vale, but if some of them are out there it could be good to tweak them too.

Kill the sharing on facebook I will love to. Lolol

Again excelent work. I did try to do this some time a goe an I was not able to find a variable to edit and make them bigger.

So congratulation to every body.
[Android Apps and Games] taksan:
It is possible to make any changes android allows. People should only agree with the typesetting.

I'm just confused, I didn't undertand precisely the following:

Are you saying the because the font is thin, making it wider would improve readability?
[Android Apps and Games] tatubias:
Re: [APP][Netflix V2.1.1] Netflix Rotation Enabled App - Black /Subtitle Size Fix for

Probably due its thin font letters alre closer, to each other. Maybe thiker back border will improve the reading.

Do you know which are the variablet ti get updated so I can play with them?

Whic app are you using for the decompiling and compiling the application.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Give 1 hs I ewill try to explain better. The idea. I will be typing from the pc.

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Which font its being used now?
[Android Apps and Games] tatubias:
as you know how a subtitle should look its a issue related on how easy is to read the text or not. different fonts, colors, size, borders wide, color of the border, shadows, anti aliasing will make easy or more difficult to read or not.

so when you study optics there it is a parameter known as the Alpha angle. this angle is the distance between "2 point" related to the distance were you are seen to your eyes being able to differentiate them.

as the very best example is. when you are in a road at night. and you see a car coming very far you se 1 light only. when the car gets closer to you you can differentiate the 2 head lights. so there with the distance of the headlight and the distance that you are you can get that alpha angle.

so this can be applied to the font too. as an example. fonts that are thin are more difficult to read than ones that are thicker.

also the contrast its very important when you are watching the subtitles. the combinations of the color yellow used in the subtitles its actually the best color to use. i can say not the pure yellow that its now. its more like a orange-yellow. like the once that are used in the smileys here :) or darker.

what i say that its because if the subtitle its too bright i makes tired your eyed due you get too much contrasts. so white makes great contrast but get tired your eye. (daker orange-yellow) its better blend with the image and it makes less tired your eyes.

Definitely a black thick border make the difference too. this its because makes the subtitle sharper and easier to read. this is a must. too.

other parameter its the size that is related too with the alpha angle. bigger will make easier to read. TOOO big will bother with the image.

The position of the subtitle its important too. due if it is in the bottom of the screen you will need to look the subtitles while you are not seeing the image. so the best position it in the bottom of the image it self and not in the bottom of the TV edge.

Centering the paragraph and lines its also important because if its aligned to the left like now it is it makes heavier to read it feels like the image its not balanced.

anti aliasing its other parameter. the anti aliasing make the subtitle feels be melt with the image and not overlapped.

so what are the steps now.

1 - know the real limitation that android has and the application has.

2 - define which parameters can be implemented

3 - decide which combination will feet better our needs.

4 - implement in a new release ;)

i hope i was able to explain a little the point of view. sorry for my bad english. i may be got lost in the translation ;)

[Android Apps and Games] taksan:
Hi,

Well, as for android capabilities, it is possible to make bold text, to add borders, change the text color and center align the text. Change the antialising seems to be a bit more complicate, but I really didn't think the the default antialising was bad.

I used apktool to decompile (http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) and rebuild the apk. I also needed a tool to sign the apk. Both of these tools are easy to find googling for them. I also used android SDK to generate the code I wanted to add in the smali files, because it was easier than trying to get it right coding directly to the "smali" format.

If you guys want, I could generate some alternative versions with a black border and a bolder font..
[Android Apps and Games] mitmtm:
Hi Taksan,

That would be great. I think the one you allready made is allready looking really good. If you could make a version with the text color white, It would be real nice :)

Best regards

[Android Apps and Games] tatubias:
Whith all thoes options you mentioned before it will be great if you cpuld implement them.

Bold font

Bordes

Good tric regarding the sdk. When I did try to do this I did try to edit the smali it was a pain. so I decided not to continue with the investigation.

Nobody with a nexus 10, that has problems like me..?
[Android Apps and Games] taksan:
So, the subtitles are not large at all? Did you try both the versions? The one based on the stock version and the other based on the rotation version?

Let's just check the steps:

1) First, you should have removed the play store netflix version, or the custom apk installation would fail

2) Install the custom netflix apk

If you followed these steps, I can only think that there's something particular with Nexus 10 that is preventing it from working.

Perhaps the netflix apk for nexus is not the same that have been customises. Do you know how to backup your APK? Try removing the custom netflix app, install the one from the market and make a "backup" of it using ES FIle Explorer or Astro. Then, send it to me and I'll see if there's something different and I'll make the subtitle change in your APK and send it back to you.

Are you meaning small on the Nexus 10 itself, or small when connected to a TV, or both?

Problems with Galaxy note 10.1 and Galaxy siii

I'm having similar issues with both my note 10.1 and s3. It's fine on the devices screen, subtitles, full screen etc. But when I connect my MHL (genuine Samsung one) to my TV it becomes 4:3 and no subs. I have tried the developer options adjustment and the app you have modified but I'm still having no joy.

I have put my S3 back from Jellybean to ICS as I noticed the problem occurs after the update. The S3 now works fine fullscreen on my TV but still no subs!

For now I will just watch netflix on my S3 but I really would like to have JB on my S3 because of all the features inc multiscreen!

I've even tried ringing Netflix but they reffered me to Samsung. I doubt Samsung would be able to help as I think it's to do with the way JB displays to external screens or uses MHL, it's not a Samsung problem, it's more a Netflix/JB issue!

Thanks for your work trying to make this app better. I have noticed that the stream quality seems better. Before, on the official app I had to wait several seconds before I got full quality, it was pixelated at first. Now I get great quality straight away. And oh, black does look better than red for a splashscreen!
[Android Apps and Games] INathan:
Amazing app!! But the aspect ratio when watching videos through mhl-hdmi on the Galaxy S3 running with jelly bean has not been fixed yet. I've tried both the actual official app and the modded 2.1.2 version.

Hope to see this improvement anytime soon and good luck!!!
[Android Apps and Games] unkellsam:
Great job with this, Dev. I can't believe Netflix still hasn't added such a basic and necessary feature on their own.

Great! my post questioning the use of Netflix credentials on a non-authorized app was deleted.

Did the moderator write this mod or what?
[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
I reported the post for you.

I had also replied. "Feel free to NOT use it. Good day"

I have no need for you to use the mod. Stick with the stock app, and stay away from this thread. This thread is for people that do use these mods, or would like to. If you feel the app is malicious, go ahead and verify the mods against the stock app. You will find your fears are unwarranted.

Do not start spreading you paranoia in this thread until you have done your research. This mod has been around for a very long time, I have worked with this app since its initial release. I have a good reputation around here, as well as the modified app. Not once has there been a complaint like this or ever an occurrence of any negative side effects from using this app (as would relate to your apparent apprehension of usage).

So either go away or check it yourself. Also, this app has been verified by the mods and admin to not be malicious in anyway. I know that will not quell your desire to spread lies and fear, but there it is.

************* On a lighter note.

If you do find it to your liking, however, feel free to drop in for any help/suggestions you may have. Also, If you feel that you do indeed have a valid reason to worry, we can discuss all of the mods applied. What files are affected, etc.

Good day.

*These posts will be removed as well. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] :
You call compromising the credentials of a paid service "paranoia"?

Bull****. That app gets Netflix credentials and users have no way to know what the dev does it with it. So your claim means squat.

Why don't you ask users to give you their credit card number too while you are at it? I'm sure you'll promise not to use it too.
[Android Apps and Games] PetRiLJoe:
I read that no other modifications other than the ones listed were added in the OP. Are you saying that without modification he can get my Netflix login credentials, that he modified it so that he could get them, or something else?

Thanks for the heads up, just trying to understand the risks implicated.

Edit : I would like to add that I have used one previous version of this application from this thread for a long time now with multiple Netflix accounts (cancelled a different trial account once for a free month but still..) without any suspicious activity as of today. No weird Justin Beiber movies have popped up in the 'recently watched' list, thank goodness; but also I don't go looking for the, " You last logged in with this IP " (service? notification?) like Google or Facebook has.

I've considered it safe for me, only speaking for myself however.

I can't see the future of my (stolen?) Netflix account nor can I speak for my friends that I have emailed the APK to but I'm good, thanks for the updated app, I'm /rolling the dice again.

[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
No, I call paranoia on your assumption of compromised credentials. Your assumptions, and your general asshole attitude are not welcome here. Users do have a way of knowing exactly what is changed in the app, I even posted instructions on how to do it yourself. Modifying some layout files, and other xml files (that have nothing to do with the login procedure) is completely safe. You do realize that I have only modified a couple of xml files within the stock app. Anyone with half a brain can diff my modded app with the stock netflix app and see EVERY single line that was altered. I saw where you linked to your own game, a simple game, but you should should be able to perform such a low level analysis on this mod to quench you paranoid thirst. Or you could just not use it. I could care less.

I do not understand the hate coming from you, seriously.

There is a link in my sig that I believe still has instructions oh how to make the mods on your own. It is a bit outdated, but a 'dev' like you should be able to figure it out.

This is my last post regarding this issue. These posts will be removed. Please do not continue to post your hate here in my thread.

-Dblfstr

Edit: attached a copy of the mods as related to version 1.4. I do not have copies of the files for this version with me at this time. This file was intended for those who wanted to make the modification on their own. Replacing the stock Netflix files with these files (in version 1.4) would give the exact same result as my mod - since it is EXACTLY what I did to the version 1.4.

[Android Apps and Games] Dblfstr:
Yes,

I have read your posts. You, like many others, have an issue with the Netflix output to a TV via the (mhl?) adapter. Do other streaming apps output differently? Is it just netflix that outputs at 480p? I make no promises to attempt to solve this issue. However, I am aware of it.

Thanks so much for this app! :) Can't believe they haven't added ability to change size of subs. However, can you give some details of how this is done? Or make a version that has even bigger subs?

Hi, thanks a lott for your answer. I tried both 2.1.2 and 2.1.1 with the same result. 2.0.0 is almost fine but videos don't play smoothly. 2.0.0 just crashes whenever I lauch a video

Older versions (2.0 and older) work but are a bit choppy (and can't be reasonnably used on a daily basis)
