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).

$25 credit + transformers for unsupported countries

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

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.

[Q] no gapless playback in Google Play Music app on Google Play Edition Galaxy S4

Hi -- I'm finding that gapless playback doesn't work properly on my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4. An album that plays seamlessly on a friend's Nexus 4 plays with clicks and brief gaps between tracks on my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4. Are others finding this behavior? And is there any way to fix it or is this just a bug that Google has to address?
Thanks, Alan
I believe its a small bug that needs addressing, I have the same.issue, so don't feel.alone..sometimes I wonder whether my.next track is coming on. Aha. It'll be fixed at some.point!

Cool -- Thanks! Are you using the Google Play Edition version too? Do you know if this afflicts all GS4s, or just those running the Google Play Edition software?
Thanks, Alan

Sorry Alan, just saw this post. I don't have the GE edition, mine is just the international version. So I believe it affects all versions of GS4. Shame really.
I'd guess this is application-specific. Gapless playback is working fine for me on my S4 GPE using an app I developed.

Netflix won't work after root

I rooted my NP and put Pure Nexus on it. Looks great..but I can't get Netflix to work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and reflashing GAPPS to no avail. It opens and immediately "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try to restart the application (-116) . I restart it, only for the same thing to happen again. This is really very frustrating. Hoping someone can shed some light on why it's happening. Thanks.
Anyone? One of the reasons I bought a Nexus Player was for Netflix. I have it on my blu-ray player, but I can't really stand the way it looks on there.

I have the same issue on a tablet. I tried team blackouts latest Netflix and that one will install
Netflix just came out blocking it from the Google Play Store if they notice your device is rooted or bootloader unlocked. Currently you should be able to play, they did announce that it will BLOCK playing going forward on rooted unlocked devices. I can't believe it!

Where did they announce they will block playing ? Hopefully magisk hide will fix this issue. I love watching Netflix on my tablets. I'm not going to unroot them for anything.

Not sure if this is true where you are...its the carrier package that can determine the resolution of playback limited it too 480 instead of taking advantage of the full abilities of the screens resolution...
I'm in the US..
But i have the unlocked version and is connected to the wifi ....

L1 DRM is not the only requirement for Netflix. The device needs to be "whitelisted" by them. See "Netflix in HD" here:
https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939
It looks like they did not whitelist the Snapdragon 632 processor, even though they did list 630. Netflix is annoying like that.
I cannot find Netflix in Google play store
Hi there,
I have a Moto G7 (US version) with Amazon Alexa Hands-Free – Unlocked, with its firmware totally replaced with the Stock US retail firmware. Everything is fine except I cannot run Netflix. I cannot find Netflix from Google play store. I tried to download several netflix apk files from apkmirror.com and install them but all of them failed to run with the message that the version of Netflix is not compatible with my phone.
Does this happen to you? Which version of netflix did you use? Where did you get it?
Thanks.
I found this version to work Netflix 3.16.6 build 5382 (arm) (Android 4.0+) https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netfl...6-6-build-5382-android-apk-download/download/
