Is there any hope that Netflix will play on the iconia?
I would think that it would be a better choice to make Netflix work on tablets before phones but this just doesn't look like the way it is going to play out.
Can the iconia just not play video good enough or just being ignored by Netflix?

got an idea if anyone can do it
So I was messin around abit yesterday and had some brainbstorms yesterday. If you run Linux you can't run silverlihgt hence no Netflix via browser. However if you install the add on called moonlight through Firefox or chrome you can do a work around via desktop on PC and stream throuhg the browser. I believe the browser on the tab is a variant of chrome. Would it be possible to rebuild moonlight into an addon or apk for the browser either in debuged desktop compatibility mode as a work around. Thoughts?
I think back in April, the mono guys ( before most were laid off ) showed off a preview of moonlight for Android & it was good... but then they got laid off...
Anyway, I'm sure we'll get Netflix on our Iconias as soon as Netflix is able to guarantee DRM'd playback so the studios won't jump all over their butts.
Has anyone else seen the recent news on the Netflix app in the last 24 hours?
Version 1.3 adds support for 16 new devices, with the only Honeycomb tablet being a Lenovo one. However Xoom users report very high instances of the APK working on their tablets. Most Iconia users have reported the still remaining 12001 error. However you can no longer download Netflix from the market. I have rooted 3.1 and no go for me.
Several people have requested that the people trying it on the Iconia list their ROM / root status, however few have listened.
I'm on rooted OTA 3.1 and I manage to DL the Netflix app before the update and before they banned it from the market on the Iconina and when I open the app it prompted me to update. Attempted to update but I get the "the request could not be found" error from the market.
Even attempted to play with the version I had and I still got the 12001 error.
Btw, here something official from Acer:

Confirmed working with minimalist 3.2 and Asus Netflix patch also working with Acer stock rom 3.2 and Asus netflix. And I don't get any force closes which is awesome

What she said. I've been watching NetFlix movies for a few weeks now on my Iconia.
works for me fine on my wifes non rooted A500. I also have it working on my Transformer nonrooted
Here is a link for a version that works on all devices no patch, no extra lib. If you have Netflix installed already then clear data and uninstall first.

cleared data from app, uninstalled, cleared cache partition from recovery, installed the "Netflix on all devices" apk, Error 12001.. guess ill have to stick with the patch for now..
This is working for me. Stock Iconia, 4 hours out of the box (Android 3.0.1) Rooted, no OTA updates. Netflix also did want me to update but I pressed cancel.
Running stock 3.1 rooted and have tried the official Netflix 1.4 app plus the one posted in this thread. Neither work....Hope either Netflix adds support or someone hacks an apk correctly soon.

+1. Tried em all to no avail. Don't feel a patch that cripples other functions of my device is a good one and will wait. Come on Netflix, get with it already...Hulu too...sigh.
DRM is what keeps us from bootlegging stuff isnt it? ive got netflix working on my a500, with a force close for the back camcorder. rooted. see below for versions.
someone want to help me understand DRM? i know it is to protect the people that make money from netflix, but since i have it working on my a500 and there is no DRM for the a500 according to netflix, what does that mean? how does DRM keep me from making copies? i installed the patch to my .so file. which i have a copy of the original if anyone needs it. but what does the patch do exactly? im not trying to rip off netflix, but i woukd like to understand how they are able to stop so many of us from accessing netflix.

I know a lot has been tried in terms of getting Netflix working on the A500 with 3.0.1. Has anyone who has updated to the leaked official Acer 3.1 ROM tried Netflix again? From what I understand it should work May also work on the community ROMs based on the leaked one.
Seems to be available in the app store now. App works, but throws a 12001 error when you try to watch a movie.
isnt that the drm error
i get same error too.
I also get this error. I'm running HoneyVillian 1.02.
So after seeing that the transformer got netflix i went and tried the solution with out any changes.
*I take no credit for these files or figuring this out. I was just the lucky guy who decided to flash this first
1. Download both files
2. Install the netflix apk
3. Reboot Recovery
4. Install GT10.1Netflix_patch.zip via CWM
5. Reboot System
6. Enjoy
*************************
What the patch is doing is renaming the libnvomx.so in the /system/lib/ to a .bak
Then placeing then new one into /system/lib/
If there are any problems then you can use the libnvomx.so.bak so go back to default.
The libnvomx.so file is from a Xoom. Which does seem to work for our devices
*************************
So there it is folks... if you like it and it works well for you just tap the "Thanks" button for me
Pardon my ignorance, but how is this any different than just installing the APK file from yesterday? Who was this not working for (ie - what rom?)
Really no need to go through that much trouble. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177969
The difference is that this should work with the Netflix updates to the app. So that you will not have to wait for a modded apk every time
What is in this patch file exactly?
Netflix up and running
I installed Netflix on my SGT today. Works perfectly. Didn't realize how many TV shows they offer (besides movies). For two bucks a week, it's worth it.
Does anyone know how to get this to work on the tab outside the US?

Thanks a bunch. Once I updated to UX I'd been having issues with my old .apk not working. Great! Now if I can finally get wifi tether working I'll be a happy "tabber".
Is there a problem that you are having?
Also is netflix in your country?
Should this fix my 12001 error I keep getting? The patched 1.3 does not work for me. I keep getting the same error.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I've had the stock APK running just fine on HC 3.1 since I got my tablet last week.
I'm not rooted or anything, running nothing but the latest ROM update from Samsung, which is 3.1 of Honeycomb and I installed the offical APK of Netflix 1.3 and it has worked just fine, other than a lack of having video in correct HD settings.
I know this will take care of the 12001 error issue.. As for the HD issue. It did help me and a few others. I haven't had many people say anything about it. But that if you would like to try as well that would help me see if i can do anything about it, (if there is an issue).
The patch.zip simply renames the former file to a .bak just in case of any negative issues
Okay. So I have the stock apk installed and it runs well. My only issue is that I don't get full hd. Has this update fixed the hd issue for anyone?
Also, if/when Netflix launches official support for the GT is there any way to undo this? (if necessary)
Be aware that the "stock" apk is not working on the LTE version. It will open but gives an unable to communicate with server error.

You have to get a account from Strong Vpn.
I am paying 7,5 usd a month.
When you have the account from Strong , setup your device to use a vpn, and all your traffic will go thru that vpn. The ip address of the vpn will be an us one, and and netflix will allow you to sign in.

Thats part of the beauty of this... its takes the original libnvomx.so file and renames it libnvomx.so.bak and then places the new file there. so that when the Offical app comes out you can simply revert back.. when that comes out i will add another zip to revert back to make it simple on everyone...
I am looking into the HD problem as we speak....

I guess, for some reason 3.1 OTA is an I/O update. So far I/O tab owners haven't received the TW update yet other than that 11 MB update that locked the boot loader. I don't know if there's an 3.1 OTA for the retail version, that can be ODIN to get back the unlocked boot loader and then update the TW. In the mean time, you can install the TW posted by Doc, as I did and wait for the next update for the I/O tab owners, and flash that update when it's available. .
So far everything is working fine, even the Google movies, except for Plex. One of the guy, Darrin at Plex forum said that the fix won't be coming in near future. May be they should share their codes with some dev on xda, and I'm sure the issue would be resolved a week or so.

The one there seems to be from the IO version. Once you flash that one, you get the update for google movies, but not the touchwiz update.
I tried this stock 3.1 several times already but always get the 11mb update. I'm going to return CWM to stock and see if that changes anything.
I'm going to give it another go!

Had the same problem after installingfile called hc ota 3.1 from one of the forums.
I had to restore to my last backup (original 3.1) and then declined 11.2MB update, connected my device to kies and getting update throw it.

Same output. Still getting the 11mb OTA and Kies does not allow updating or even transferring files.
I finally gave the UEKMB+ROOT a try but I deleted the superuser.apk to unroot it
Works perfectly and KIES does say I'm running the latest firmware version and now able to transfer files using it
Hopefully when they release the next firmware I can use OTA.

I'm using UELMB+Root, and I have the movie tab in the market. What you can do is, go to accounts and sync in the settings, remove the account and add it again. Also, clear data for market and videos application. Then open the market app, follow on screen instruction. Then open videos and choose your google account. I guess this should fix it. If not, go to CWM, clear cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot.

Not sure if WiFi Direct was in the settings before but its in there now and you can turn it on.
If you didn't have Play Store it replaces the Android Market icon with Play Store and appears to add/replace Play Books, Play Music and Play Movies.
Not sure what else it does under the hood. Someone confirm that WiFi Direct was in there before?

If they based the kernel build on the source tree for the TF101G, mempodroid is gone and unless you backed up su with OTA RootKeeper you'll lose root permanently - that is, until some other local privilege escalation vulnerability pops up (which could take a veeeeery long time).

At least we know they didn't even take the time to look at the .config changes I sent them. Sheesh.
Bottomline: you'll have to wait until the sources for this kernel are out, then you'll have two options:
add CONFIG_L2TP=y to their shipped .config and rebuild the kernel for yourself (tricky)
wait until someone else on XDA does it if you don't like playing with cross-compilers and the like
Oh, you'll need root and CWM as well
I haven't tried to download it bc I am at work, so it is waiting for me when I get home but what Android o/s is it? Still 4.0.3 or did they take initiative and put 4.0.4 on it like the Xoom recently got that seemed to fix all their problems?
I'm running Toasted Marshmallow since it seems to be the most stable ICS ROM (I don't want all the bugs associated with the 3.x kernel). I've been running it for about 6 months with no problems at all until today when I went to try Hulu Plus. When I open the app, I get the following message:

What can I do to resolve this? I'd really like to use Hulu!
Just a follow-up here...is the DRM error possibly caused by the fact that my phone is rooted? Is it a known fact that Hulu/Hulu Plus only works on non-rooted device?
