Netflix App for Android*!

[Fingolfin269]

Flixster has done this forever

I know it has but I don't want two netflix management apps.

The quality is fine on my Nexus S. Will this work if I were to travel abroad and connected through wifi?

Only if you connect through VPN.

App works on the Droid 1 stock froyo, but won't stream movies. Supposedly it works fine streaming with custom GB roms though.

Does not work at all on my Vibrant though.

It'll work on the Droid 1 and the Vibrant if you're running 2.3 Gingerbread. The key to getting it to work on current unsupported devices seems to be 2.3.

can't even download for my Inspire

what is the big deal with supporting more phones since most are pretty much the same hardware just different names

Part of me is glad this finally exists, but geez does it eat battery. Unlike the Yotube app which uses the DSP, this app doesn't seem to. On my Nook Color it leaves my CPU pegged (like when watching Hulu) which means that I would be surprised if I could watch Netflix for three hours.

Works on my OG Droid/CM7. As above, picture quality isn't as good as HQ Youtube/Vevo IMO. Have Gangs of New York going via 3G. See what happens to the battery life.

I'll have to get my wife to download it on her Evo. Too bad it doesn't support my Epic (yet). But her Evo does have a larger screen and a kickstand.

*sigh* If you had been following this at all, or just merely googled a bit on the subject, you'll find out quickly that it's limited to very specific hardware because of DRM needs dictated by the MPAA. People are finding work arounds to get other devices to use it, but officially there aren't a ton of supported devices. It's not because of slow hardware, it's because of encryption and hardware DRM.

i hope they push the dX OTA update to gb soon so i dont get the bug to root and rom this sucker just to play with netflix app. i bet when they do there will be some block from vzw anyway

Ya that works but it won't let me send it to my Droid 1 since its not officially supported I guess?

It was in a post above. Check that link.

Also to add, works fine on my Droid 1 with Pete's GB release.

There is no hardware DRM requirement (at least not with this version). If there was you wouldn't be able to stream on unsupported devices.
