it was announced as officially going to be released to a few devices at some point. there wasn't anything stated as to when it would be released.
aww.. well is there any kind of work-around?
The hell does anyone want netflix on their phone anyway. That's what my xbox is for...you know, the internet connected device that DOESNT have a 5gb data cap?

are you just wanting to pick a fight or something?
There's no HULU app... yet theres a work-around that lets you watch hulu.
It's a question, not a demand asking someone to make a work-around, and also there was a beta going around a few months ago, but a VERY buggy beta. I'm unable to find it.
Nevermind, imageshack sucks.
i tried the ustream work around but the ustream app is ****. now i just use my ipod touch and hotspot my vibrant to it. works great. now what i'm looking for is a throttle fix.
There is no workaround for Netflix on Android. Hulu was relatively easy since 2.2 & higher have adobe flash built-in and Hulu (like the majority of video streaming sites) is flash based. The Android flash player was basically hex edited to fool Hulu into thinking it was a PC and not Android by modifying a text string.

Netflix on the other hand uses Silverlight platform (Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash) which doesn't currently exist for Android. Until Netflix finally releases an app or we get Silverlight on Android there is no way to watch Netflix.
Yeah there is a workaround. Download PlayOn from the Market.

Yep, Playon is the way to go to get Hulu, Netflix and other online content to your phone.

That IS bull.
I was watching Star Trek from Netflix on my Vibrant tonight using playon, without a hitch.
Give me a link, and I'll tell them what's up.
I wasn't watching trek but I was using netflix through play on. Only problem is you need to be connected to the play on server on computer....still limited though. Netflix isn't on any android devices...not until they figure a proper drm format..no DRM is the only reason it wasn't released when iphone got it.

Once you do the initial WIFI pairing it will continue to work on 3G and other places VIA WIFI. The app syncs to the playon server to get your IP address, if your IP address changes(the one given to you by you ISP) you'll need to re-sync. but I use it out and about all the time on 3G and other peoples WIFI without a problem, just a little slow on the initial startup, but hey it is a beta app.

So I have to stream content from my PC...
WTF is the point?
I'll just watch it on my PC's big screen instead...this really is stupid..If I'm at home why would I watch ANYTHING on my phone's little screen when I can just watch it on my PC or laptop?
I watch sports highlights, Family Guy (Fox.com) etc. on my phone when I'm on the road on 3G..but if I'm home I'm not gonna use my phone when my PC offers a wayyyy better viewing experience.
Playon is a waste of time and money. It would be excellent if it offered Hulu/Netflix WITHOUT having to stream from a PC.
I downloaded yesterday, and it's ages better than the old stok music app, but i feel its really "heavy" its the app that runs less smooth on my phone, somehting im bummed about is that the album art looks too small, i want it bigger ala winamp also the widget is HORRIBLE , it's been the same since android 1.5, we need more choices, there's not even a previous track button on the widget!
What music app? Android one or HTC? And choose htc music widget, it have back button.

I'm not sure. I'm in france, I can't find Google Music application on the market. Of course I still can install it with an apk but it's different...
Unless you're talking about stock music player and not google music service ?
HTCs player looks much better.
its a lil bit slow.
also dont like the landscape interface.
so i just got my invite to the beta. has anyone else got one yet? the only android i got is the epic. i heard that only zoom owners were getting it. now it looks like they are letting others use the service.
I signed up but haven't heard anything, if they are inviting other epic users hopefully I will get one soon!

I also got my invite today. Ran through the "get started" on my computer but haven't messed with it on my epic yet.
Argh, waiting very anxiously for an invite! I need a way to stream my music library, but I don't really like how you have to upload every new song manually for Amazon MP3 Cloud Service.. Plus I've been having issues where Amazon uploads the same song multiple times for some reason. Hopefully Google will ease my pains! lol

You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result
Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000
The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.
To bad the Music streaming doesn't work on the Epic
At least not on EE03
Google Music app just got an update to 3.0.1.
get it on the Market.

I got invites on my 2 accounts today
tried using it... stopped getting sound on the first play and it gives me a google maps FC error. very beta
I personally use Amazon Cloud Player. It's been working well for me.
Looks like it's working on the stock epic.
I have all music that was on my home laptop listed and playing on my phone.
I haven't used all features yet but basic ones are OK.
Hey everybody,
Just curious if there was an ability to listen to the songs without dl'ing them to your phone... a streaming feature if you will. I think I had heard there was but I may have been hearing about something other than the google music beta.
Thanks

So i uploaded all my itunes playlist songs to google music using music manager and then downloaded those songs into my nexus 4 using the google music app.
However there is a serious problem.
Some of the songs are completely different. Like i listen to a specific song and it plays some random song i have never ever heard of and not even remotely close to the song title.
Or some songs it plays a different version of the song... like the same song but by different artists even though i never had any of those songs in my computer.
And thirdly, even if some songs are the right songs, the swear words get censored!!! WTFF!!!! GOOGLE swapped my explicit music with some PG-rated retard music that censors every swear word even though the original song in my computer doesn't.
Why the hell is google messing with my songs and how can i stop it?
Bump. Album covers are also jumbled up.
Lol
Do you have issues using other music players too? Try Apollo.

No problem with Apollo because I have to directly transfer music on to it. But I lose all my playlists I made using iTunes which was transferred over in the same state by Google music. I can't play music on Apollo from Google music, none of the music I downloaded show up
First off watch the language.
Second android has issues with everything apple and that includes iTunes play lists and songs gotten with it. This was done on purpose by apple.

That makes no sense. I uploaded songs to Google music and when I downloaded them, how can some of them be completely different just because I used iTunes playlists?
Bump
You were given the explanation, and you reply "That makes no sense".
So I don't think bumping the thread will solve your problem. Might as well re-read zelendel's post.

I dont think you can do that with google music and keep the same playlists.
please tell me if that is possible.
Although I do not personally know the correct answer to your question, I do believe whatever issues Android has with iTunes file format is only compounded by you trying to transfer play lists. Try the songs alone and see if that works first.

Have you tried doing it on a stock rom as from your sig you are using a CM rom. CM changes alot of the coding from what Google releases with the Nexus.

Certainly possible. Just copy all your music files/folders in a forlder named 'Music' on your sdcard. After that, the music app will pick all of them.
Souce: it works for me on my Nexus 4. :good:

That maybe part of your issue. As Google takes a strong stand against it. At this point at am out of suggestions. There is one with same device that has it working. And replied to this thread. So might need to see what the diff is.
You might have been better off not mentioning they were pirated as XDA doesn't condone pirated anything.
