So it finally came out but only supports a limited number of handsets. On the official blog they say there is no consistent video playback mechanism on Android so they have to test with each phone. Seems dumb that they wouldn't test on a Tegra 2 phone right out of the gate, since that would essentially mean compatibility with ANY Tegra 2 device...
APK
Anyone have the apk? Would like to test on my atrix.
i bet you it has far less to do with playback on each device, and more to do with locking down the video feed for each device.
I think most if not all the supported handsets right now have qaulcomm chipsets.

Qaulcomm was supose to have hardware level drm first in future chipsets

Meh, don't care about netflix anyway.
Working great on my buddys Evo 4g. Still a little choppy compared to the iphone but its a start. Hopefully with my faster data and dual core the atrix will handle it.
They got it to work on nook color by just editing the build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
And then rebooting.
Has anyone else tried this?
Ya didn't work for me
neone else?
There is another thread about this. I played with the build.prop on atrix, comparing it to my evo with cyanogen7. I copied all relavant info I could think of, but it didn't work, and it broke swype. There are a lot more fields in the atrix than the evo.
With no edits I can load the app and manage my queue, but I get an error when I try to play. After I edit, the app never even loads.

Care to elaborate? You don't mean that you can stream Netflix on an Atrix, do you (and if by some chance yes, how?)?
On my atrix it says your "device is not supported "

I am using that also and have the same problem. It's better than nothing though.
This modified APK works great for me. I just watched something over 3G, we only have 1-2 mbits here in DC and it looked GREAT, no pixelation or artifacts.
The picture is using the full display but there is a quarter inch green bar at the bottom. However, the bar is just overlaying the picture like a filter. It might be where the CC would be. You can still see the picture underneath.
So great quality for me even over 3G, full screen with a green bar at the bottom. Once that bar is gone, thats it I would say.
Update: ok, sometimes, objects or parts of the picture have a green or pinkish shadow. But it is definitely still watchable.
Yeah I tried the modified app as well. Green bar on bottom. Lots of pink and green in the picture.
Glad at least we have SOMETHING..hopefully someone will fix the issues soon.

Figured with all the snow we got, and salt on my car it was time to get it washed.
So i tested my Atrix Recording out with 720p.
Its the whole car wash, so if you dont want to watch/listen you get the idea of how clear and awesome it is, give it, to atleast 1:55 seconds
Atrix Video Recording Test Make sure to change it to 720p, It Matters!

that there is nice Awesome in 720 just not a big Motorola fan lol
That background music was great...well, at least until 1:55!
Who's the artist?

Hi I'm wondering whether the Vega has multitouch problems like the desire and nexus one, also has anyone played games like Nova and how does it run and is it playable with the multitouch.

What multitouch problems are there on the Nexus 1 and Desire phones?
Can't speak for the Vega exactly but the Mobii is limited to 2 fingers, a 3rd one will stop all touch processing.

Strange, while making the video it went wrong just like the N1. In the middle of the screen it's very hard to reproduce the problem. At the edges of the screen the chances of crazy stuff happening increases.

The EXACT same thing that happens on the Nexus One happens in the VEGA, when the two circles align in the same axis, they "boder" each other. To play games, like Brother in Arms i use the left-up corner for movement, and to right-down corner for camera. If you look for a TOTALLY game experience dont go ahead.

Did a search and really didn't find good info. My friend has a Droid x that is running cm. Is there any way to enable mirroring? I have an Evo and it was just an app away for me after I went to aosp. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know CM ROM does not support HDMI, You have better luck with Liberty v0.9
As far as I know the hardware does not support a mirror mode. I could be wrong. The only HDMI I have used is through RealHDMI, and it leaves the screen from that app on the phone while displaying my current activity on the TV.
There was a long discussion with the app dev explaining why it was impossible to mirror the display. Maybe we need a custom kernel?
I think its in the FAQs for realHDMI it says its a hardware issue...

Thanks for the help. I will pass on the info. I think he said he could show his gallery but nothing else. Damn bootloader! Haha
GPU in the DroidX does not have the processing power to output to the screen and hdmi out at the same time without affecting frame rate?
Might work for still shots and lower resolution videos...

I have the P6810 but ran into the same problem in Skype. I have the Skype version downloaded from Market.
It varies, when I make a Skype video call it opens full screen, sometimes during the call the screen goes into a smaller screen overlayed on top of the full screen.
I can only guess its a Skype software issue.
Its bugging me so I may have to do a hard reset to see if it sorts it out as I can't get any answers from Skype

I use my tab for skype fairly often. It is definitely louder than my GS2, but the speakers are still mediocre. I can't compare to a Nexus but I wouldn't go in with high expectations. Audio quality over bluetooth is better, so you can always hook it up to a decent bluetooth speaker if it's a concern.

I'm interested in knowing this too. I tried this workaround and it doesn't seem to have worked for me. However, it was a bit hit and miss in terms of finding an "old" version of skype.
My video calls go as follows:
1- Fullscreen on connection for about 5-10 seconds
2- Image shrinks to half size leaving a "border" which flickers with whatever was on-screen when the picture chaged - annoying
3- Today after about 10 minutes the border went away. This is the first time it has gone. The image remains a small window, now with a black border.
So, if anyone has any bright ideas...
Google skype version 2.1.0.46 and install. Run it and try video. Should be full screen. Then goto market and update Skype.

Hey. I'm new here Thought i'd see if you guys could answer a question for me.
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the resolution of videos playing in the nexus 10 youtube app are? I haven't actually got my nexus yet, but I imagine it's the same as my S3, where the player only has a "SD" and "HD" option.
Is the HD just equivilent to 720p? Or will it choose the highest possible resolution for the video? I'm asking this because watching youtube videos in 1080p would be really nice
Thanks!
I am curious too since it does not lt you select.
Pretty sure it's 720p on the app for HD.
I'll do a test when I get home later.
I've been wondering that too
Youtube app will render videos to Hd720p. If you want full 1080p you'll have to use the browser.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies.
That's annoying Would be nice if google could update the app for tablets so we can view 1080p videos without having to use the browser.
Google should update the app and give you the option because the browser page is not good in my opinion slow laggy and hard to use with a touch screen.
Why make a Google product and then hinder it with low quality video stream. Honestly its one thing that annoys me with with his tablet how soft videos look from the YouTube app. It does not do this amazing tablet justice , lucky I have nice images to look at lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yup, 720p only.
Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

If google says jump, youtube says how high. They are their subsidiary.
With the Nexus 10 and its supreme display resolution I guess we can expect an update to the YouTube app pretty soon. I expect a 1080p option.
Yes, 1600p would be nice but don't forget at this resolution/bitrate many people won't be able to stream it anymore, at least not in an acceptable time frame.

It was a sarcastic question hence the face. Thanks for joining in on the conversation.
Nexus 10 doesn't come with radio for data hence me asking as if his Nexus 10 did.
I hope this explanation clears things up for you so you aren't confused by sarcasm.
Yeah it would be nice if they updated the app, but I suppose 720p isn't too bad on a 10 inch screen anyway.
Youtube only supports up to 2048x1536 at the moment anyway. Hopfully 1600p youtube will come eventually
Youtube 720p looks surprisingly good on the N10 to me. If they add a 1080p option I definitely hope 720p is still selectable.

Well, let me answer with some numbers:
I have a really high quality video on my N10 (the Timescape Trailer), it's 1440p and 33.5 mbit/sec worth of data.
Even with high compression a 1600p video would be like 10-20 mbit/sec or around 40 mbit/sec in very high quality.
