[Q] um...Netflix? - Kindle Fire General

Installed CM7, then Netflix from the market. All it does is add to my instant que.
Does netflix not work....or am I seriously brainfarting?

I have CM7 installed on my KF and have no trouble with Netflix. In fact, that's on of the reasons I bought my KF. Movies que up and play just great. I've been watching a lot of old Sherlock Holmes movies...on my KF, iPad, Galaxy Nexus, and several TVs.

There are a few apps out there that just let you manage your Netflix queue. Are you sure you downloaded the full fledged Netflix app?

Are you using the correct Netflix app from the Android market?
This is the official app:

On cm7 its working if you can't find it just use the amazon app store

Netflix

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.

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).

Netflix showing compatible in android market

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but today when I was browsing the android market through the browser I saw Netflix and went to it as my droid x is compatible and was going to have it send to that device when I noticed that android market had my A500 listed as compatible also. It sent it to my A500 and installed. It launches without any warning about non-compatible device. Though I get an error while attempting to stream. Anyone else get this also?
tryed looking up the netflix app 4 my a500 not showing for me
I was able to install the app from the market, but when I tried to stream it says,"Sorry we could not reach the netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit netflix.com. (11000)"

I don't understand why they would rather have it working on phones first before tablets..I can't watch a damn movie on my evo 3d to be honest
i don't even see the app. I downloaded it a while ago and when I click the app it says this version of application is no longer supported (12008)
WTH the evo 3d has netflix now. I know this tablet is way better then some of the ones they support. Lets go netflix get your mind right

MAXGO

just incase anyone was woundering. MAXGO will not work on xoom either, which i dont think was a big shocker cause it was devl by the same people.
i removed device checker, and just like hbogo it FC when you try to login.
ahh man, you got my hopes up for a second there with that title... yeah no official maxgo, hbogo or netflix apps for the xoom.
maybe christmas...
Netflix works fine bruh...

Netflix works. Just pull it off your phone and side load it to your xoom. Works great! If u don't have android phone let me know if u need apk if u can't find it on here and il post the app
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
It seems strange that the best use case for these apps (Honeycomb tablets) seems to be the least developed... It seems especially strange that Netflix has the compatibility in place, but won't update the market's compatible apps so the app shows up when searching the market on a tablet.
Maxgo works well from the full site in flash. HBOGo however studders too much in flash to be usable. Like all here, I would appreciate a native app for Android supported on the Xoom. This continues to be a stick upon which Apple fanbois can use to continue beating upon us.

Where are the apps?

Hey All,
Just picked up this xoom and it seems like there are no apps in the market, well the official ones like Hulu, HBO, Flickr,etc.
I'm running Tiamat
Any help thanks....
There are literally hundreds of thousands of apps in the Market. I don't even...
Obviously,but the main ones are not listed. I got the hulu apk and it says device not supported.

Honestly, those mobile configured apps are great for phones but for a larger tab you can profit by using the browser for hulu, fb, etc. Netflix app does work now for the Xoom.

Kindle Fire, Amazon Videos

Hi,
I'm not sure if possible, is there a way to sideload the Amazon video app on the Xoom? Or is it possible? I have Amazon Prime and would like to watch the free movies/tv shows with the same app the Fire uses.
Thanks,
Good idea, since the Fire was just rooted there's probably a system dump over on the Fire forums.

As a workaround, the browser works very well to view Amazon Prime videos as long you have Flash installed. On my stock 4G 3.2.2 system, the video was prone to the occasional stutter. But after rooting and overclocking, The video is flawlessly smooth in full screen HD.

^ this. Also appears that people who are rooting their devices are breaking the app, same with us and the ability to rent movies in the market apparently. Amazon won't let devices that are rooted stream from Amazon Prime.
But I guess we just wait and see. I have Amazon Prime also and would love to just have an App directly for Amazon to utilize it.

Tried on my root'ed Xoom, just get a Force Close every time I try to do anything. I did try on my root'ed Galaxy S2, and I just get the error message about it not being able to play on a device "configured" like that (aka root'ed).
I am curious if anyone with a non-rooted Xoom has had any success.

Just constant FC on my Xoom when I try and select anything as well. Was able to load it on the G2 but says same thing about the configuration.
The Kindle Fire OS is based off of gingerbread so maybe that's the reason for the constant FC on Honeycomb? I don't know.

I unfortunately do not have Verizon service on my Xoom as I travel too much for it to really be useful, since most countries don't really use CDMA so I'm sorry I can't answer that question. Funny since I've restarted the damn thing force closes when I select something to watch.
Also on a side not I'be read that KindleFire users are losing streaming capabilities when they root.

I had the opposite experience when I tried it on my LTE-upgraded, non-rooted Xoom. I can browse the app, but selecting anything results in a force close.
same here on a rooted x00m4g just need a way to login and not force close when i try to access something. Hopefully someone can hack this apk like they did for the netflix app.
Unrooted stock Xoom WiFi. Installs and operates, but FCs whenever I try to watch or buy anything. Needs some tweaking to make it work on the Xoom, evidently.
I have a non-rooted xoom Wi-Fi and it FC's every time.
Has anyone been able to get Amazon Video to play on the Xoom w/out FC?
