Netflix and Mango - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I cannot for the life of me get netflix to stream movies even after live activation on any Mango rom. Anyone else having the same problem?

Can anyone get it working?

I couldn't. Just think it's another of the many bugs of green mango.

whats wrong with androids version of the youtube app ?
Some of the early android hd2 builds had an issue with a green line at the top of a video. This problem has been solved and the youtube player works brilliantly.
in the winmo youtube player, i like the history-function, which i don't have in the android one.

I would love to have the winmo youtube app. Honestly, the android app is not that good in comparison to it.

NETFLIX

Where is the netflix app for android, i heard it got released a few months ago but i wasn't interested back then, i am now though... so where exactly is it?
there's not one at this moment, it is still being tested for mobiles and i think only a few of the android tablets have it

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?

No work-around that I've found yet. You could always borrow someones HD7.

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.

YouTube slow?

Is it just me, or is the YouTube app really slow to load videos? And when I skip ahead or go back, it just refuses to go, even after twenty minutes of "loading".
I went to go to the play store to give a comment that is was being slow, and then I realized it said the app wasn't compatible, and the YouTube app we have isn't the same as the one from the play store.

I have this same issue. Youtube app is so slow in loading videos that it is unusable on my Nexus 7. Using Youtube via browser is a bit better but still way too slow. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Btw, what do you mean by different app? I think nexus7 yt app is certainly the same app as the one on Play store..
Not for me. Videos start streaming nearly instantly on the YouTube app. I jut tried a random HD video. It started in ~one second. I tried changing the location slider and it responded fluidly.
In fact, this is one of the things I like a lot about the nexus 7.
I have noticed that while Netflix is very responsive its try difficult to get the position slider to nudge just a little forward or back.
Stock, rooted.

That is strange because for me, it just keeps "loading" forever when I try to watch a video (the menus and search etc. still work nice and fast in the Youtube app).
Maybe I should do a factory reset to see if that fixes this issue. My Nexus is stock, unrooted. I love the way this tablet handles but this issue is driving me crazy..

I've noticed youtube videos take a while to start but once they've started there's no buffering issues and skipping to different parts works fine,
It seems Nexus 7 doesn’t like my internet connection / wlan router (Cisco epc3825).
When using 3G connection (using my Galaxy Nexus as wlan access point), Youtube works fine. But with my 40mbps cable connection, it’s a no go.
This sucks, especially since my 1st gen iPad works fine using the same connection. I guess there is no workaround other than to buy a new wlan router - anyone know of one that would work well with Nexus7?

EDIT: I switched to Zyxel router and everything works fine again.
Guys, i had the same problem and i just went into play store and deleted the last update.... There are a bunch of bad reviews for the latest update... Give it a try, it might work for ya as well ^-^
I tested with the stock rom and it loads fast. With custom roms it loads slow. Check it out.....

Netflix stuttering on cm10.1 nightly 6/19 with direct inject 1.0.2

Hey I'm running the 06/19 nightly with project direct inject 1.0.2 and I'm not sure if this is rom related or not but I'm getting some really weird stuttering going on while running my Netflix app. at first I thought it was Internet related but I turned everything off Internet related except my nexus 7 and it still was happening. then I thought app related but it runs just fine on my Samsung epic touch 4g no stutter so now I'm kinda at a loss I've uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. Anyone else having this problem? I really don't want to start from scratch with this tablet but I use Netflix a lot on here and the stuttering at times makes video almost unwatchable every 5-10 seconds. Any/all help is much appreciated.

Apparently this was a software problem after all and has been fixed (st least on my n7) by Netflix

I too had this problem. I tried running like 4 different roms and still had the netflix stutter. I just updated to the newest version of the Netflix app today and no stutters.
