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 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).
I was just thinking about the whole movie rental thing not being available to root users because they are lumping us all in with thieves. How's this for a solution?
Instead of making it where we can't rent movies, can't they just make it where we aren't able to download them to the device (in other words, no pinning.) and only make them streamable? I would be happy with that. I mean, it would suck for flights and stuff where you don't have a connection, but It'd be better than the solution that they've currently got going.
Thoughts?
screw that they get no money
the movie industry can continue to screw themselves over
Yeah I dont understand... it just gives people a REASON to Pirate movies.
"oh I cant rent this movie on my tablet? Fine then I'll just hit up a torrent site"
Expecting the media copyright holders to be reasonable might be a bit naive
Google has to go along with whatever crazy **** they demand to license their content.
I have no problem whatsoever paying for a rental. I pay for netflix, hulu and frequently comcast on-demand stuff already. If I want to watch a movie on my tablet though, and the easiest thing to do is hit up usenet, then so be it. It usually downloads faster that way anyway.
If they want my money, they just have to make it convenient or at the very least not annoying...

Amen, brother.
Has anyone tried Amazon's video service? Not sure if it works on the Xoom / if it uses a special player.

On another thread someone said that rooted Xooms could rent Google movies, just rent them through the web-based market. I haven't tried it yet.
web market works
Web market works for movie rentals through the native browser, helps to be logged into YouTube with the purchasing account through the browser as well. Also u have to set the quality lower if u didn't purchase the HD version. Works fine on my rooted 3.1 xoom. I have the hulu 10.3 and I believe the root 3.1 included the ua-string. I get errors trying to watch it through the native video app and I can't figure out how to open it in the native YouTube app, but full screen works fine through the browser streaming.
Same applies to watching it through browser on any computer too, we should get more then a day to watch it through...
Just purchase mega viewer pro... problem solved lol

Does it allowed to be downloaded/pinned? I'd like to find a solution for watching offline as I travel often.
All this is going to do is make people want to pirate movies. If it isn't easy to just purchase the movie than people are just going to go through other routes to get it on their device.
They are targeting root users, root users are the ones that know how to get stuff on the device without having to go through the market. In my opinion they will for sure lose more money by doing this.
No, I was not able to get flash to install or anything crazy like that. Adobe should be releasing flash for ARMv6 processors sometime soon, so until then you can sit tight and enjoy partial flash support (Yes, you can stream TV shows from Hulu!!!!) using Puffin Browser. It is paid app available on the market, and while it's not perfect, it gets the job done. Video playback is a little choppy, but if you let it buffer things play somewhat smoothly.
Does it work with megavideo?
Yes it works with megavideo but it is choppy and lagging a litle bit, also you can't use the fullscreen mode.

Mmmh... I'm not going to buy it if it's still buggy...
AFAIK Puffin uses cloud computing to render flash... nice one btw!... But I'll not use it by any means for facebook, payments and anything that involves passwords and credit card numbers until im sure that they have secure servers or something...
I will neither condone the act of pirating software, nor will I condemn those that do. I will say this though. I'm sure that one can find many a paid app's apk file if you look hard enough. There is no credit card required for curiosity.

Nexus 7 is just been released in Singapore, and I'm wondering whether it is worth to buy it without access to Google Play Music, Play Movies and Play Books.

Yes, the Play Store's apps make it amazing by itself.
Let alone the ability to side-load things anyway, so this doesn't effect you.
Also like the above poster, there are VPN tunnels etc so you can make it think your US.
I've tried VPN in my SGS3,but not sure if they're safe. What vpn do you guys use?

Does Justin tv viewer app work on nexus 4 ? Does anyone has new version of justin tv viewer app apk file ...
Thanks
Why don't you try it?
UPDATED:
December 8, 2012
and is compatible according to GPlay Store
By justin.tv you probably mean twitch.tv? If so twitch has been working just fine forme. Have been streaming league of legends for a while now on Xylons Rom. Just search up twitch.tv on the playstore it's free.
You should google that.
I looked at the play store page and it says it's compatible with all of my devices including my Nexus 4.
Don't expect to be spoonfed everything! You're new here so I gave you a break....learn to search for answers before asking simple questions. Simple questions are a waste of bandwidth and server space.

Agreed
@narupls: Twitch and JustinTV are two different things. They are owned by the same company and are very similar. Twitch is primarily for gaming and JustinTV is for the non-gaming side of things
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS50dmNoYW5uZWx2aWV3Il0. is the app that OP was mentioning.

Thanks for clearing that up, I am just so used to the gaming side of justin.tv so I thought he meant twitch cause they made the merge of the gaming section of justin.tv over to twitch.tv.

Same here, I'm used to twitch. Stream some games from time to time and use it to mainly watch tournaments during the week and weekend. About to watch some NASL when it kicks off in two minutes actually!
Some people still use JustinTV, I remembered watching soccer on there a few years back. I still feel that the TwitchTV Android App needs to be improved, the iOS version is so much superior. Right now theres no support for your user account (whom I'm following) and there is a significant delay on the stream using the app when watching what you watch on the desktop.
