NetFlix soon, Hulu sooner

Looks like the corporations may finally be catching up with the xda devs. Not really. They're just starting to get their heads out of their collective booties.
http://lifehacker.com/5729461/hulu-plus-announced-for-android-netflix-possibly-coming-soon

I dumped my Netflix account a while ago once they raised the price as I hardly used it. If they finally get out an android app for mobile streaming I may just reactivate. Looking more forward to an official Hulu app.

same here with netflix

I couldnt care less about netfliz coming to android as i have it on my ipod touch and i tether to my epic all the time. As for hulu the ios version apparently you have to pay for a subscription, kinda sucks, ill just use the free hulu apk on here,
However netflix would look nice on my 4inch SAMOLED Screen compared to the much smaller ipod touch retina...

I honestly can't wait for either of these apps as I have subscriptions to both. I use HULU for Family Guy, Bones, Greys Anatomy etc. I use Netflix for movies and Spartacus. AWESOME!

If were gonna get Netflix on our Epics, it's gonna have to be a hacked version as they don't plan on releasing it to the Android market. It will be part of the carrier crapware on second gen Snapdragon devices. It's pre-installed on the LG Revolution, at least it was on one a CES. They believe that the fragmentation of Android makes it too difficult to implement a DRM solution across all devices.

There was talk about Netflix back in November from some netflix boss. "Early next year" was what it said I think. Still not here seems to be a common theme....
Would sure be nice to have though.

I have total faith in our dev teams to port this ASAP. Heck! They could probably even prove their fears to be reality. Just saying...

Netflix would be awesome!

Netflix confirmed that they would develop for Snapdragon first. Another black eye for Galaxy S phones. Not that Samsung would even want Netflix competing with MediaHub, anyway.

I got rid of them also when they raised prices. I bought a Slingbox pro and got the sling player app and man I can't believe it took me this long to get this. It is pretty awesome and works very good even on 3g. I wonder if netflix will work well on 3g, but unless they start getting better releases you can stream it was a waste for me. With 4 HD DVR's from Directv and expanded storage on them all with Multi-room viewing the sling box and sling player is just amazing. Oops this is not a slingbox Dtv thread sorry

I'm definitely looking forward to Netflix on Android.

Looking forward to netflix, but there is no hurry like i said earlier, cause i stream it from my phone to my ip0d touch (wireless tether).
As for hulu app, i dont want to pay for hulu plus like the ipod touch version, glad there is the free mod in the development section.

Bet they both require 2.2.1 or 2.3

That shouldn't be a problem if you have dk28 installed.
Btw about nextflix, I think I heard something about it coming in the spring like around end of april or something. Not sure about that though.
I dont really care for hulu, but netflix would be interesting to see because I have an account set up for it.

Thank you for reminding me that it existed.

For those interested in streaming, I bought a Roku (you can get as cheap as $59.00), and I stream that through another port on my slingbox. So I have my DirecTV box and my Roku both streaming to my Android.
I am considering getting a Hulu subscription, then I can stream movies and Hulu from my phone (plus can play them on my PS3 and Wii).

Thanks for confirming. I thought I was delusional about the price change. I still love Netflix. I was thinking about it the other night. I don't have cable tv. I use Hulu for free, Netflix for streams as well as other websites. But I was thinking I could illegally download certain tv eps. Though it's really nice to just know they're there. Just as I was talking to my girlfriend yesterday because we've been having financial issues and I said how much do you think you spend average on Redbox. She says about 20. I said well lets get Netflix switched back on. It has been canceled currently because my debit was stolen. Really sucked. Carry zipped and chained wallets!

+1 on Netflix and Hulu
It always cracks me up to read about "Netflix not on Android yet" with the 2-3 NETFLIX ADs on every page, all over the xda Forums. like a little twist of the NetFlix Knife

I for one use netflix all the time. I watch it while im at work during downtime. and on the road would be great especially for road trips. the streaming is amazing on home pc or through the ps3. can you imagine this on out phone and even the tabs?

So no Snapdragon = no Netflix app for Xoom?

With all the new Honeycomb tablets and the majority of them being Tegra 2 based, is it really possible a Netflix app will not be made available to devices with non Qualcomm Snapdragon processors? I'm hoping this really is just a "Qualcomm first, Tegra 2 to follow" scenario. There will be a lot of upset Xoom (and other new tablet) owners if thats the case.

Well as I understand it.. it is a DRM issue. So the question is does Tegra have the DRM capabilities to satisfy the wanktards in Hollywood.

Nothing is stopping us from side-loading. Though since they are using some hardware level DRM stuff.. it is reasonable to assume it wont work on non-snapdragons unless the DRM can be fully bypassed.

It's a valid point in this thread. I'm a big Netflix fan and if the Xoom doesn't support the DRM requirements, it may drive some buyers towards other devices... However, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has the Tegra 2 as well.
Would really stink if we could only watch Netflix on our snapdragon cell phones, but not our $800 tablets.

It would be nice if Nvidia would come out and clarify whether or not this will be supported, considering that this applies not only to tablets, but a mass of upcoming phones as well.
As a side note: I'm surprised. I thought WP7 phones had Netflix support, and aren't they running on current-generation Snapdragon processors, or is this not the case?

Agreed. This is my current dilemma. I was hoping to lay in bed streaming Netflix WI to my Xoom, not to my EVO. Now do I wait for a snapdragon tablet instead? For some people a Netflix app isnt a big deal, but I dont have cable and I stream everything over my media center pc. So I was really counting on a Netflix app. Grrrr.

They're practically partners with Netflix being that NFLX uses Micrsoft Silverlight tech for streaming. Assbags.

According to Apple's new subscription service requirements, Netflix will have to be 'purchased' through the app store, so Apple can take their 30%. I doubt Netflix is going to let this happen, and may pull the app like others are threatening, such as Audible.

That's some good information. It would help explain why the Xoom and Tab 10.1 are Tegra 2 based. I hope Netflix gets something out soon.

Netflix is a boon to Android. But do they even have much in the way of TV? I got rid of netflix 6 months ago because I found their TV library to be incomplete. Certain shows were missing early seasons, and whole shows I figured they would have were missing. I also have that complaint about HULU. I wanted to watch Star Trek TNG one day when I was bored, and instead had to discover Babylon 5. I only watched it because I was REALLY bored and heard about it on The Big Bang Theory. B5 was meh.

The DRM SDK in Honeycomb is used so developers can interact with the hardware DRM generically.
I thought Honeycomb could support Netflix, but I think that is only a development interaction layer.
I hope I'm wrong.

Honeycomb DRM
It would make sense that Tegra 2 has some sort of DRM solution, because Google basically built Honeycomb on the Xoom. They would need some hardware there to test the DRM framework. Although, this statement is 100% speculation.

I did a quick check on the Tegra 2 specs and I didn't see any DRM reference. I'm also getting the Thunderbolt and the Snapdragon specs for the phone does have DRM referenced.
It would be nice to see a DRM official reference/screenshot to the chipset the Xoom has.

Motorola Xoom launches without Flash support

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/21/motorola-xoom-will-ship-without-flash-support-on-february-24th/

Looks like we both caught this at the same time. I found it on Verizon's site
which makes it pretty official.

Well i get mine thursday & i was hoping i could go to the market & use the current version of flash until 10.2 comes out..my dell streak 7 ran flash beautifully..hope that works.

I can not forsee that working. If it was that easy why would it not already me included. I am sure we will get support at some point but Google and Motorola are releasing a high end tablet and are doing so handicapped.

Relax, it will be updated
Just enjoy your web browsing experience without Flash for a while ....
Or you can "skin" your Xoom to look like an iPad for that ... LOL!
Just kidding.
I am not worry though about this Flash thing.
I more worry about the promised SD card support.

now i think somewhat of the "i am a apple, i am a pc" commercial
where the xoom is represented by a crippled guy.
just sad motorola your tablet sounds more and more "promising"
guess im going to wait for the HTC or other competition what they bring

I'm sorry, but they just shot themselves in the foot. Zero flash support on release and its expected sometime this spring? I'm done, I'm no longer picking this up. No flash is one of the main reasons I hate my ipad, I'm not going to drop more money on something just to wait for an update.

It clearly says in this video that Flash Player 10.1 will work. Also, I got to play with a preproduction xoom from the Motorola Rep at my AT&T store a week or two ago (what a nice guy, right?). He said it did run Flash 10.1 but it wasn't currently on the device because the unit had no access to the marketplace. I believe in this case, Moto/Vzn is referring to Flash 10.2.

Honeycomb is geared towards tablets, so maybe some apks won't load properly on Honeycomb as they would Froyo or Gingerbread. Plus, Motorola is pretty good at keeping their higher end products updated. It's not like they've refused flash now.
But I myself don't understand why there is no flash support for Honeycomb. Some apps like Launcher Pro, and ADW push okay with Honeycomb as far as I know, so I don't see why Flash wouldn't. Maybe it has something to do with Flash 10.2.

No one has support for 10.2 under Android right now. Plus that ad is directly from Verizon that popped up in the early morning, where as that video is from about a month ago. It's not lying really, the hardware supports flash. But flash isn't available. Could be something like they thought it would be ready by release, but Motorola and Verizon have kept pushing the release date of the Xoom more and more.

It brings to mind the cliq, they kept promising an update to it over and over and over, then after several months of lower and lower sales they just dropped it and canceled the update. Leaving all the customers that listened to them high and dry.
I can totally see this with the xoom, especially with the already high price.

So its also official that the Verizon Xoom will require a one month subscription on the Verizon network to activate?
What kind of BS is that? Although I plan to tether my phone not everyone will so I do not want to not have the option later on down to road to activate the 4G capability for sell it to someone looking to have it both. I am willing to pay for that option but to have to activate a subscription now while I can tether on another system is DUMB!
If they would have priced this at $699.00 they would have made a hugh impact on the market I think. They could recover through volume not clubbing people over the head with the $799.00 price then hit them up with a $50-60 activation of a 3G plan. I hope they don't plan to charge an activation fee as well. This would be illegal.

Like I said, Motorola is good at keeping their higher end devices updated. Plus seeing that it's on Verizon, Verizon is also one of the main reasons why Motorola devices on their networks received regular updates.

since this is a google experience device you will be getting your updates through google. you cant blame moto for software updates this time.

I have to agree. I've seen and heard a pretty good amount of evidence that Flash 10.1 will be supported out of the box. So long as 10.1 is supported, I don't mind waiting for a 10.2 update... After all, updates are supposed to make the product better, right?

If this is true, and Verizon is speaking out of turn. I think it's high time we gathered our torches and taught Verizon a lesson. I am really starting to believe they are in a conspiracy with apple. Price to piss off some people, forced activation to piss off more people, and now claiming flash isn't there. We know Verizon has higher hopes for iPad2 sales than for the XOOM.. so I think they are intentionally ****ing this launch.

ever since they bowed down and kissed apples feet, they have changed their tune and backed off pushing android phones. I have the iphone 4 on AT&T and it is a good phone, it is even better phone when you jail break it. VZW just played right into apples hand.
This was the only way for Apple to stay competive w/ android.

Netflix.....that is all

I look at the specs, and all the pretties between the Xoom and the iPad 2 and the only thing I am envious about is that damn netflix. I am very very disappointed we don't have it at release and really no word in site about when / if the Xoom will get it.
Oh, and that magnetic cover is kind of cool.

Xoom will be getting it as it was announced for Tegra 2 processors. Who knows when though.

Yeah I hate waiting for the native Netflix & Hulu apps.
PlayOn could be a good alternative in the meantime, but the Xoom needs Flash for it to work. It's subscription based and a little pricey (about $40), but it works great on my Droid X.

Can't agree more. They need to get Netflix done, NOW! Even the Nintendo 3ds will have Netflix. Windows phone 7 has it. This is ridiculous.

NetFlix will be probably be released on a device-by-device basis as they figure out how design their software around protecting those who have the means to protect themselves

Netflix is kind of a must have app for me in my personal usage. I like to use it while on break at work. I have an iPad and I had an iP4 until pretty recently and they both play Netflix and Hulu really well. I have an Atrix now and love it, but no Netflix kinda sucks. I want to get a Xoom and give my gf the iPad but I want some Netflix action. If the lapdock dock for the Atrix wasn't so overpriced I'd pull the trigger on that because it will at least work with Hulu's normal site.

My question is what does this mean:
Pluggable DRM framework
Android 3.0 includes an extensible DRM framework that lets applications manage protected content according to a variety of DRM mechanisms that may be available on the device. For application developers, the framework API offers an consistent, unified API that simplifies the management of protected content, regardless of the underlying DRM engines.​
And how would that affect/help Netflix

With the recent changes to Apple's subscription requirements, doesn't Netflix now have to offer a subscription for the same price or less in the itunes store? Since Apple takes 30% of all those purchases, I wonder how long it's going to take until Netflix gets pulled from iOS entirely.

I'm pretty sure the only reason we don't have netflix is because of Dalvik. It's incredibly hard to obfuscate your code enough to stop people from figuring out how you're decrypting the video stream. Now that processors are coming out with security features built in, they won't have to worry about that....
That's my thought anyway.

I hear you, but note that PlayOn allows use of standard Hulu, meaning you save the $7.99/month of Hulu Plus. For me, that's well worth the $40 first year cost.
Can't wait for Flash, for this reason alone...

The sad thing is that all the delays are related to the DRM protecting the movies on Netflix, which are all readily downloadable all over the internet in higher quality long before they ever hit Netflix instant watch. It's like they're wasting their time for no real good reason.
And to make things more sad, the unavailability on our Android devices is probably going to lead some people to piracy as a way of getting content on their devices. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

Hopefully we will see this soon as I think the media end of things is what will attract many consumers. The iTunes, Hulu and netflix support makes that a compelling product for many. I hope that Netflix starts the avalance of media support for Android.
