Netflix App just auto updated. I have been able to open and play 3 movies.
Wanted to make sure everyone knew that I am not a dev. I did not make this nor did I modify the official app.
I originally used this as a queue manager but noticed that when I opened it today it auto updated.
You can find the APK here.
Its in a zip. Do not flash. its one of my quirks to zip everything.

Very interesting, has anyone tried this?

Still Not working for me
Tried this earlier tonight. I could not find an update for my already installed Netflix app. Netflix was still throwing up the server error when trying to stream.
I did not try the zip file nor did I attempt to download it.

I had tried and if you look across the net apparently it was working for evo's and eventually netflix shutem down lol. awesome though should be sooner than later that we get a working app for netflix.

I tried this as well, no luck but I did get an email knocking off 3% from Netflix because I couldn't get on.

"Sorry, the Blockbuster server cannot be found. Please make sure your device is connected to a data network (3G or Wi-Fi) and try again."
....... nope. haha
Kinda sucks..... i like Netflix for their FREE streaming with subscription.... but hate that they have delayed new movie releases. I like Blockbuster's online rental service due to getting new movies right away.... but they charge like $3-4 for one streaming movie. It's also nice that blockbuster has game rentals.... but lame that you have to wait like 3-6 months apparently before any of the new games are even available, but from my friend's experiences, GameFly isn't that reliable either.
*sigh*

Not working for me. Says need network connection and i have full bars not to mention im on wifi.

It was working for me for a minute. Where it usually says will be working in so and so days, it went straight to a.screen where it said thankyou for trying the app and they will let you try 1 movie free I guess. I just opened.the app again and your right now it says, the wifi 3g message. I should of tried to sign up when it was supposedly working.

I have downloaded the first version of the Blockbuster app 2.0.37. It will let you download the app from the market, but when you open the app it goes to a connection error message, saying it needs to be connected by 3G,4G, or WiFi. I then tried using WiFi to use it and it said it is connecting but then gives another error message saying carrier undefined? . Is this app ever going to be up and running!

I get the data error also, but not before first getting an error code 12012. Anyone else get that?

Yes! Finally got past all those error messages when trying to open the new Blockbuster app. First had to go to Blockbuster.com to register for a account, credit card ect. ,after you do that, you are supposed to verify your account with a numeric code they give you. Then your device will say activating, then brings you right to the Blockbuster App online store. Before the app went online it said on the advertisement app page that Atrix owners would get 1 or 2 free rentals, when the app starts working. I wonder how we get those free rentals? I will try it out now and post results, should stream well im guessing because of the Atrix's high res screen.

I get a tamper detected as root error: This device will not be able to download or plaback Wdieine ecrypted content.
So it looks like if your rooted you will not be able to use this app.

Ya I guess not, iam not sure if the Blockbuster app works with root. I just did a return and have not done the update yet, and it is now final working for me!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I don't think it really detects root right. I had rooted my phone but did the update and lost root. I still have the super user icon but any programs that require root don't work, yet I still get the error with the Blockbuster app that says root was detected. Pretty weak.

Youtube

You guys,
i was messing around online and i got the Froyo build of youtube to work on the continuum. all you have to do is,
1. Get astro or something simalar and delete (or rename) the stock youtube app.
2.Download the attached apk.
3.find it in astro and install.
4. reboot and enjoy!
feel free to post if there's any problems.

What are the advantages of froyoutube? Is it working 100%?

well , it is mostly just a ui facelift, its a little easier to navigate. the only issue that im aware of at this point is that if you login to your youtube account, it throws you into a force close loop.

I signed in and I'm not having any force closes or anything else wrong so far

Noice. i have no idea why its doing that to me, maybe youtube cant verify that im running Froyo?

Damn. I was hoping that maybe it would support the Shows on youtube There's a butt load of funimation anime on there as well as quite a lot of other things I'd love to watch, but you can't

Wait. Never mind. It started force closing after I restarted my phone :/

Grr. So frustrating.

Yeah, these issues are known for this build.... I would wait until we are on froyo to use this

Watching rented movies from market using google videos

Hi. I've looked everywhere for the answer but cannot find anything relevant. I downloaded a movie through market rental. Went to google videos to watch it. But I've tried several methods and keep getting the following message:
"There was a problem while playing (31)"
Tried force stop, phone restart, reinstall app etc.
Any suggestions would be greately appreciated.
Thanks again.

I thought I remember something on movies from google not working on rooted devices. Not sure if it does a check for SU app. Might be able to rename it and have it work?

I remember hearing about that too. Not sure if the error message in the OP is referring to the root condition. But Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper (available on the Market or on XDA) might help. It has the option to temporarily unroot the device.

There was a fix for this a few months back, Try searching for it on PocketNow.com

Sorry guys I forget to mention that I am on official rom, no root.

Did you find a solution?
I have the same error message on my Archos 70 IT, when I try to stream "Transformers 3" in the app "Google Play Movies".
The Archos, however, is rooted.

Rooted can not play Movies :(

I think I am stuck but I wanted to make sure. I have done searching but all I can find is older posts. I just got my Nexus 7 and I installed CM10 last night. I just got the movie Ted and I got the digital version but it can only be played through Flixster / Ulterviolet. When I try to open their apps it see's my phone is rooted and will not allow me to play a video.
Is there any way around this? Would like to play Movies on my Nexus 7 but trying to figure out how to do it.
Thanks for any help.

thats their security, so no one will steal their movies. you can use google play movies. root, no problem

Well That stinks. Wish the was a way to use the OTG cable and not have to be rooted. I just do not want to have to pay for the movie again in the play store.

You can attempt a temp unroot, or see if somebody has released patches for those apps.

I had exactly the same issue as you did and I solved it using multirom. My internal Rom is rooted and one of my additional roms is stock google unrooted. When I want to watch movies i boot to the stock rom and I can watch films from flixster and guess what I also have Ted! Multirom is awesome.

In searchig on other places then XDA I found this on Droid Forum. Might give this a try.
OTA Rootkeeper. Use this app to "hide" root from other apps. Then unhide root after watching movies so you have the advantages of being rooted. Might try this first.

I tried root apps and they failed. I use sky to stream tv and whatever method I tried to hide root the app always came back with your device is rooted. flixster may work with root hiders. Good luck!

Ok just did this on my Infuse phone to give it a try. Both my Nexus 7 and Infuse are running CM10 roms. Flixster did not work with it rooted in my phone. I used OTA Rootkeeper and did the temp root on it and it worked on my phone!!!! Hope this will work on my Nexus 7 tonight. I do not see why it should not. This is perfect!

Yes I think it worked for me on flixster but some other streaming apps will still state root. Enjoy Ted!
