I just got to Korea today and i wanted to put a movie on and go to bed but Netflix doesn't work in this region. Is there a known work around?
If you look at some of the rom's, you will find many netflix and hulu patches.
Cant promise they will work, as I don't use them.. i dont do netflix, or such...

no luck on a modified apk for this purpose, just finding modified apks to work on unsupported devices. good thing dice player finds my 2tb HDD or i'd have nothing to watch lol.

It seems the apk for Netflix has been leaked can't seem to get it to work fully but maybe someone else can.

I was able to install and launch. I can search movies and manage my queue, but I get an error if I try to stream. Looks more like Netflix is blocking it than a system error.
It would be great to get Netflix streaming.
Netflix DRM on Android
Netflix not streaming seems to be a DRM issue. More info in this thread.

Amazon Prime bought Netflix of Europe,try their 30 day free movies on their instant video page,3000 movies so far, Free!
I use it on my A7,its great.After free trial its only $79.95 yr.
That s cheaper than Netflix USA and Blockbuster.
Thanks! I am a prime member but didn't know vids could be played on my elocity.

Netflix - Amazon Prime?
I am also a Prime member and can stream videos just fine to my Mac or my lil netbook, but when I try on the A7 tab, it returns a message that Amazon does not have this set up yet for mobile devices. I've even tried signing in through various browsers to the full Amazon site, but each time it seems to recognize my device and says it's not supported.
If you are running something that allows you to stream videos, please do tell!
there are some alternatives to playing hulu / netflix on your mobile...
PlayOn makes it possible to stream from your pc to mobile/tablet.
TVersity makes it possible to stream from hulu.com (no netflix i think)
on your tablet, use something like Skifta to play the DLNA stream, it works.. i tried it with Tversity / hulu.com .. not perfect, but it works..
maybe someone got a better dlna based and cheaper solution?
Netflix app released on market work with several devices wonder how we can make the a7 look like the evo 4g.

if it rely on "DRM" , A7 does not even support it at all..
my port "Blur" do support it, but not sure if its 100% implemented correctly from my side with directories and apps running.
A7 stock firmware has not support at all for DRM media.

I'm confused. I'm able to run Amazon Prime video no problem on mine. I don't remember if there was a app on amazon or what (my fuzzy brain seems to be telling me that there was a download prompted by Amazon the first time I went to the video section).
Just got my GT10.1 4 days ago. I am using Dolphin HD as a browser as I hate the native browser and it has easy access to full desktop mode. Anyways, I wanted to report that both Amazon Prime video on demand and Xfinity's website with all of its on demand offerings work flawlessly!
Also, I highly recommend the thumb keyboard app,awesome once you get used to it also with a very supportive Dev...
All I can say is who needs an app for that, I got the whole damn internet...suck it ipad
Cheers,
Jb
thanks, I didn't even think to check if Amazon prime video worked.
Xfinity did not work for me. I got a message saying I needed to download a special player, but could not download it (of course).
Weird xfinity worked this am, this afternoon tried more links and some required silverlight which obviously won't work on the tab,some use flash but couldn't get working this afternoon. Oh well at least prime VoD works! Will try the hulk flash and see if that works...
I am in desperate need of Silverlight on my Galaxy 10.1 tab. Please tell me someone has a workaround...
Anyone able to get Moonlight to work?
has anyone booted up a new nexus on an unsupported country? what i mean is for countries where there is no play movies, books, and magazines.
just curious if i will get it.
someone is bringing me a nexus from the US to Asia.
I would assume that seeing how your Play Store doesn't support it, you won't get it. The credit I'm not sure about though.
That is, unless you use a proxy or some other means to enable it so that you can get it. You may need to permanently use the VPN/proxy to watch the movies or read the magazines though. However once Play Music is enabled, you can use it anywhere without a proxy/VPN, you can't buy songs though.
Play music isn't supported too. But since I was in the US when it launched ..I can access it here.
So I'm thinking it may work but I won't be able to buy other content.

In the UK we can't get them but, a little fix is out there to allow you to get them all.
I tried it on my GS2 and it works.
Here is the link DroidVPN
Enjoy

Hmm, perhaps though I don't believe this works for Play Movies, Books, Magazines, TV Shows etc. but I may be wrong.
Could also just use Titanium Backup to defrost apps that are built-in (Wallet, Play Magazines, etc.) and use them. Thats' what I did.
I can't overstate how impressed with this little box I am. I picked one up last month on a trip to the US (I'm from Canada) and thought I would play around with it and see how it would work in Canada. With Unblock US and an Amazon account with prime I have been able to access all my prime amazon content on it. As well as US Netflix, Hulu, ETC.
XBMC is very easily sideloaded onto it as well, with or without being rooted which opens up a whole new world of content and goodies.
And once rooted you can do even more cool stuff. I followed guides to add the google app store, remove unwanted menu options, change the launchers, add game controllers, move apps to external drive, and much more. I just installed Google Play Music and now I have complete access to my google music account on the FireTV which is very cool. I'm sure there are tons of awesome apps that work on the FTV. Another favorite is Droidmote Server so I don't keep having to unplug my external drive to use a mouse or keyboard (which many google apps need)
I sold my 2 Apple TV 2's for a very nice profit and I'm going all Fire TV. The only advantage I think to the Apple TV's is if you have itunes and are invested in the Apple Ecosystem which I was not. The menus and everything are much speedier and my ATV2's were prone to random crashes while in XBMC which drove me crazy.
I'm really looking forward to playing around more with this unit and seeing what all the development community can do with it. I think its already awesome and it has a ton of more potential.
question for you
I am in Canada also and use unblock us. Have you tried using the A&E, Lifetime or History Channel apps? For whatever reason they wont work and I am wondering if somehow they realize that you are not in the US. I have no problem with any other apps. Trying to figure out if its a Canada issue or maybe an issue with the app's of fire tv.

don't you still need a US credit card address for Unblock???? if not how did u set it up??
unblock us
You don't need a us credit card address for unblock us, it's a Canadian service from a Canadian company. You need a US credit card for the amazon service.

Those particular apps aren't working for me either. They just crash back to the home screen. I think its a Canada thing as unblock.us does not officially support Fire TV yet. If you get yours working let me know and I'll do the same.
Ok that sounds great, thx.

So Ive been looking around I dont see any FAQs in terms of Amazon fire TV add-ons. I seen some videos online where people were using Kodi, what exactly is that? Plus XBMC and they were viewing movies that were ?free? to watch and Tv shows as well? How are they doing that? Plus I seen an Amazon Fire TV on ebay for 225$ that offered free movies, shows etc. Thats over $100 retail price for something Im sure they just downloaded into the Fire TVs... Just looking to get some knowledge on these, thats all.
thanks.

Try using search as there have been a few threads that will answer your question. Not FAQs, but there are posts.
Yes, you can use xbmc & addons to watch free tv & movies. As for the person selling the AFTV for $225, probably not a bad deal as soon you won't find any rootable AFTV's unless someone figures out how to root the current versions. You can still find the older versions of AFTV (and by versions, i mean firmware versions) around for $100 or less.
Thanks. Can you tell me what the firmware is?

No, because you are senior member here, and to me that means you actually can look the info up yourself. I don't mind helping people out, but you I think are just being lazy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793823 6th item will tell you how to install from other sources. Doesn't matter which firemware you have, if you have the one that lets you turn that option from the developers menu, cool. if not, do what it says in the link.
And all this **** is posted on these forums, I suggest you go looking thru them. Though why we don't have some of them stickied makes me wonder...
Honestly I'm at work and wanted to get something going . it's hard to search on my cell, honest truth. I planned on doing more later

I'm sorry, for whatever reason I have a bad attitude today. I shouldn't be taking it out on others.
I don't think the rootable firmwares have the "install from unknown source" in the developers option. I'm pretty sure that came in the unrootable firmwares, which you'd have to have the custom version installed.
But that link I gave you will show you what you need to do on yours, will need a mouse to use the sqlite app. Takes a few to understand the UI for it, at least took me a few.
And while I tend to use usenet & thepiratebay to download my shows, I found the 990.ro add on for XBMC/Kodi seems to work very well. I watched the latest Supernatural using it.
There is an add on thread for XBMC where other addons are mentioned. I'd look for that.
Thanks brother

made an error, it's 990.ro not 990.ru
And I think that the mods would be quite happy if you would keep conversations like this on PM level. Filesharing and streaming of illegal content is a big no-no here!

Going to point out that no one is talking filesharing here, and as for the 990.ro site being illegal streaming, no way of knowing. They could be doing something illegal, or maybe they got permission to share all the TV/Movies they got. But either way, it's a plug in you can get from the SuperRepo (spr.nu) repository for XBMC/Kodi. And I'm sure they wouldn't do anything to facilitate piracy.
Yeah I was talking about channels on the fire TV that are free or you can pay for. And getting setups like xbmc that are intuitive etc. Thanks
