My netflix accounts under Netflix ready devices shows my PC, Xbox 360, and:

"Android Mobile (Obsolete)"
[Android Apps and Games] setix:
I checked mine and it says the same

HTC EVO SHIFT CM7
[Android Apps and Games] reddragon72:
Mine states this

Android Mobile (Obsolete)

NFGOOG-01-SGH-T959-35180xxxxxxxxxx(imei number x'd out here but not online)

with this it is safe to say that even with all the items in place the server knows your phone and will not let it stream due to DRM restrictions. unless someone finds a way to mask the info sent to the server then this APK will never work.
[Android Apps and Games] rougegoat:
Wow, Netflix is mean.
[Android Apps and Games] edru:
Has anyone confirmed that this even is working on the native device?

I have a myTouch 4G and am willing to goof around with settings as long as I'm not having to dump 30 billion files and permission them one by one..

...and I get the same thing with netflix. Android Mobile (Obsolete)
[Android Apps and Games] rougegoat:
Anyone tried the new zip? Curious as to whether it's helping any.
[Android Apps and Games] rougegoat:
Fixed my issue. Problem was that it was just dropped in and not installed. No streaming, but logging in no longer makes it close itself. Also flashed the libs zip from the first post.

So if you're having this issue, actually install it!
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
I posted that zip more for research than for actually trying - but I did try it.

What I did was i took all the lib files that I do not have in my lib folder - copied into my lib and set permissions. rebooted...

same error about being unable to access netflix service. now heres where things get interesting...

im going to reflash CM and see if its able to load the same components stock. if not, then something in those libs is helping.
[Android Apps and Games] baloocifer:
what about wp7 that works for netflix streams, IMEI is not shown under device id, :confused: maybe someone could check the libs for that?
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
I suspect wp7 uses silverlight - the same thing netflix uses and therefore is treated like a pc.
[Android Apps and Games] EsotericPunk:
A short aside, I cut Netflix a lot of slack for being slow to come to Android. Sure, I wish it was here, but I'm OK with PlayOn for now and hoping for a full APK later. I worked for them for a while and got the sense that they are constrained in almost everything they do by the movie industry. Those are the people causing the problems because they don't want their movies pirated. In order for Netflix to exist and keep providing us with the awesome services they do, they basically have to play "Yes, master" to the movie industry. If they stood up for the people and said no to the movie makers we would wind up with a service that charges us to rent about 12 soft-core porn movies from the late 70's. Instead they negotiate and try to foster compromises from both sides. Anyone remember when you could only install instant watch on a MAXIMUM of 3 devices? I do, it was terrible and eventually they got the movie industry to change their stance and allow more.

Remember the whole purpose of not releasing to Android was solely because of DRM issues. The movie makers don't want their products copied and, most likely, they are afraid of how open and hackable Android is. If you doubt that, look at what is going on in this very thread (not that I mind, my thoughts are "Go team, go!). In this case, nerds scare people and Android has a lot of talented nerds associated with it.

I'm not telling you not to be angry; I'm plenty frustrated. I'm just suggesting that you direct your anger at the movie industry, instead of a company who I feel provides exceptional service and offers a killer product.

Devs: Sorry for hijacking the thread, I just don't like to see good companies suffer for no reason. :)
[Android Apps and Games] garywojdan81:
Me too. Could there be hardware drm?
[Android Apps and Games] gallogj:
Iphone has some of the same nerds. Netflix was only originally on the Ipad...but that version was hacked and made available through Cydia for iphones in less than a week.

Now I'm sure if the iphone nerds can get it done...so can the android nerds! Apple uses software for drm. I wonder if there is a way to spoof the android and make netflix think that it's an iphone for login purposes? :(
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
One completely different approach would be to build silverlight for the android and stream netflix through the browser by spoofing desktop IE/Firefox.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidJoe:
MS silverlight for android eta?

True, but there's already a Netflix app and it might be just as simple as "spoofing" the app that DRM is present and working and the phone model is compatible. But if that doesn't work, sure, silverlight for android might work. Just not sure how far along MS is on that app? :)
[Android Apps and Games] nolsen311:
Build.prop?

Has anyone looked at build.prop settings that might reference these? I noticed that one of the libs is stagefright_omx, which also does decoding on some older devices, like G2. (well, maybe without omx)

Anyway, just wondering whether these needed to have build.prop settings or something.
[Android Apps and Games] nolsen311:
Is there any way you can grab more files as needed off of your phone? I'm seeing a FATAL EXCEPTION in a system process due to

load_library[1104]: Library 'libnvdispmgr_d.so' not found

so maybe if someone could post that; and stick around to poke at it a few more times.
[Android Apps and Games] bedwa:
Either we need a way to decompiled the Netflix .so lib file or figure out a way to make our own player and hook into that. Those are the only two choices I see. The mediaplayet access the Netflix library then accesses the drm.play. It's partially hardware based.
[Android Apps and Games] galandy:
Maybe this can help?

Decompile.zip (Original Thread)
[Android Apps and Games] erieboyz:
i dont know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing but my app went from an error during playback to just a continuous load. can anyone elese confirm this?
[Android Apps and Games] pringlechip:
Same for me.... interesting, maybe it will start working soon?
[Android Apps and Games] baloocifer:
I still feel there is some sort of server side switch and it wont be flipped until the official app is released! :(
[Android Apps and Games] erieboyz:
im thinking so too. the only thing is playon works on my g2 but i dont understand why netflix wouldn't to compete.
[Android Apps and Games] cleftic909:
It does that when you resume something that you were watching on another system. if you start a fresh movie it won't load.

[Android Apps and Games] augie7107:

I download the apk and open astro to navigate to it.

Device gives error, can't open as apk file?

Any clue how to get around this?
[Android Apps and Games] sangreal06:
I downloaded the most recent build I could find (http://mcdn.netflix.com/us/mobile/android/42/netflix-42-release.apk) * which is a few days old. Still doesn't play on my Xoom but now instead of trying to and failing it throws up a message that your device isnt supported. It is actually hardcoded to only play on 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 (nothing higher and nothing lower) and devices with "drm.play". Disabling this check is simple enough but of course that just goes back to the video erroring out. I enabled debug mode and messed around quite a bit, but I can't even get a drm error on the xoom

*There is a 54 debug build but this is ancient
[Android Apps and Games] sundar2012:
The real question is where is drm.play and how do we get it on other devices?
[Android Apps and Games] wildstang83:
I agree

That is just the date you connected a new netflix device to the service. Mine doesn't say Obsolete anymore with the latest version:

[Android Apps and Games] ronartest2005:
I did notice 1 issue with this app. I am on a rooted evo with stock rom, I tried to play a video through netflix using hdmi out to my tv. I got sound but no video, upon unplugging the hdmi I had no sound at all from my phone. No key tones, no music, nothing.

But a reboot fixed all.

Thats the only issue i've had with this app. Other than that it works awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] SlyRder83:
What!! It works on your phone? Lol
[Android Apps and Games] mykegger:
Netflix no longer lists my phone as a Netflix ready device. :( And there is no way to activate it through the app.

[Android Apps and Games] anteko:
How do I go about installing this on my phone ?
[Android Apps and Games] matthewst:
With that ^ Netflix now at least tries to stream but I get "Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit netflix.com. (12001)"

It does the same as the other version recently posted on my Captivate. Just crashes back to home on successful login attempt. No error, no FC.

I did install it, after properly uninstalling the old one.
[Android Apps and Games] jisaiah14:

[Android Apps and Games] jbrew78:
Confirmed on my Glacier and nook color...What's different about the evo that's making it work? That's what we need to figure out...
[Android Apps and Games] mykegger:
Nothing is different about the evo per say. Netflix worked on multiple different devices until the streaming service was killed. Now it doesn't work on any phone, evo included.

This message approved by Skynet.
[Android Apps and Games] rougegoat:
Can't really do that considering Netflix has turned off the streaming on their end. Plus the issue is drm related. Evo has a proc that supports hardware based drm.
[Android Apps and Games] anteko:
Any news on this?
[Android Apps and Games] ferfy67:
How do you check Netflix devices? I watched one movie while it was still working on my EVO and I am a member of Netflix. I then received an email from them basically asking..how'd it look ". Never got that when I stream on my laptop.

[Android Apps and Games] Mysticales:
So it works on a EVO? Would be nice to know if they blog this info anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Thinkbig67:
Not working on my nexus one running on cm7 latest nightlies
[Android Apps and Games] CBMC:
Think it only worked for a short period of time on the evo before netflix closed the connection.
[Android Apps and Games] bplewis24:
It worked...briefly. Less than 16 hours I believe.

Why won't they just release the damn application already???????? I've only been waiting like 4 years for it...
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
They claim the studios think Android's openness is a threat to piracy... I say BS and dumb excuse, but if they piss off the studios, they won't get the licenses to stream their movies. Qualcomm convinced the studios their processor can stop/prevent that type of piracy, which got the Netflix android app to release, but only to "approved" phones with a Qualcomm processor... I know, it's a shame... Hopefully someone can hack apart the app, work around the hardware drm, and get this thing working... but I've got a feeling Netflix will fight every breakthrough anyone makes.
[Android Apps and Games] mepis:
I've read since this app was announced on the LG phone that it will only support snapdragon as you mentioned. I've read various reports though that it will only be newer snapdragons. Does this mean only the newer dual cores that are being released or the current Gen snapdragons with the adreno 205 soc?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I don't know what snapdragons netflix is supporting, but I did read the only way to get Netflix on android is for it to be preinstalled by the manufacturer. It doesn't look like netflix will put it on the market or make it available for download. Sure, we can try to hack releases, but unless it's already part of the system, it won't be legit.
[Android Apps and Games] androph:
Just FYI...today I received an "update available" message when I opened the app. The update would not download though
[Android Apps and Games] jisaiah14:
According to some posts on the Netflix blog about this, and some other websites (found by Google searching it), the Netflix Android app will only work on the newer Snapdragon processors. A lot of people think that they (Netflix) have a deal worked out with Google. I am not 100% sure if this is true or not, but one can only speculate.

Also, yeah...this is a possible unnecessary post, but may be worth looking into.
[Android Apps and Games] Jessesmith888:
Same thing on thunderbolt. Possibly because verizon's new LG phone is about to be released with netflix pre installed. Let hope it will work on other phones when they flip that big shiny on switch.
[Android Apps and Games] sangreal06:
There actually has been some activity on the netflix front lately. Going off memory but I think mcdn.netflix.com/us/mobile/android/66/netflix-66-debug.apk should take you to a newish debug build.
