Netflix working on Evo - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just installed Netflix from google market on my Evo, and it is running the movies now... But when I look for it on my tablet, I can not find it.
Anyone has one for the tablet that works?

I am running VeganTAB 5.1.1 and was able to push it from the web market to my device. haven't tried it yet, though...

Get incompatible device error. But check the forums - some people have found work-arounds...

Seems to only work on CM7 ROMs for the Gtablet with some build.prop editing.
Works great on my Gtablet.

where can i find netflix to download
i just searched android and amazon - but can't find it - is it under a special name?

i went to the netflix site and found a netflix for android...
link on the supported devices. the link crashed and went to knowhere.

found it...logged onto android market via web browser
found it.
market said it's not compatible with my vegan gtab!

This thread describes how to get it working on a g-tab

Editing build.prop worked like a charm. Watching "The IT Crowd" right now on Netflix.

Crackle working on GTAB - running VegaN-GB

Has anybody got "Crackle" working on the Gtab. Have not flashed back to VEGAN 5.1.1 to check but get the following error:
failed to load imc player, drm registration failed
Crackle works on my Galaxy vibrant 4g running Froyo 2.2.
Just wanted to know if any G-Tab community members have seen this error when they launch Crackle to watch the content?
BTW - Crackle will let you watch a ton of free movies and tv online.
Tried Crackle on Vegan 5.1.1 - froyo same error
Got a chance to reload ROM on Froyo Vegan ROM 5.1.1 and same error I encountered in GB Edition.
Anybody try this and working. Downloaded on my Samsung Vibrant 4G and works fine.
Crackle works fine on Vegan 5.1.1 Froyo.

Is there anything you did special to get to work - The app comes up but does not play any of titles when pressing watch now. I get the IMC player error + DRM errors.
I tried this on VEGAN 5.11 Froyo on 2 different G-tabs - same error....
No, nothing special. I am running the 1.4 OC kernal though. Don't know if that is why it works for me.
I am running Vegan 5.1.1 and pershoots 1.4oc Kernel. I cannot get crackle to work either. I also get the IMC & drm error.
Does anyone have any insight to get this app working? TIA
I get the same thing, for now the easiest solution is just to use the Crackle website
I couldn't locate it in the market (or amazon app store) running CM7.0.2
Can anyone upload the apk or a link to it ?
I could only find 1.0.1 online, I think the latest is 1.0.5
Thanks,
I second aasoror's request, please... Crackle is one of the few international streaming providers that let's Canadians access contact (are you listening Hulu) and that has an app for Android, but for some reason, Google restricts Canadians from accessing the crackle.apk in the Market...
A post of the apk for your Canadian friends please...
Was anybody able to figure out the error message's root cause. Is this like a missing install of IMC Player?
Thx in advance for the hel.

Anybody? Netflix gets posted with every update (and thanks for that)... but why not Crackle? Somebody, please share the most recent crackle apk?
It works great without any hacks on both my gTabs (1 running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3) as well as my Droid X.
Since several of you are asking for the apk here it is.
Thanks sjmoreno! It also works on Archos 70... much obliged to you...
Hi all,
Can someone please upload the latest version (2.2 - 6/29/11)?
Thank you!
Awwww
Requires Flash... Stupid T-Mobile Comet!
It's great to have something that works this time. I've paid for some different apps that just quit working. (moviestream, and tvstream) Crackle is working without a hitch. Thanks
Crackle also working on Caulkulin+Clemsyn Combo v6!!
Thanks, works perfectly on HTC sensation too...cheers!

[Q] netflix and hulu

Has anyone been able to get netflix and/or hulu working. I am a noob with a g tab. Ive installed clockork and VEGan. Now netflix says i need an upgrade and hulu says my device is not supported. It would be greatly appreciated.
Netflix has never worked on VEGAn (5.1.1 or Ginger).
Netflix, with their "there is an update available" has made Netflix no longer work on my CM7 Gtablet (CM7.02 Stable). While it did previously......it would not progress beyond the "there is an update available" screen and installing the official App from the Market (pulled from my Motorola Droid) will now fully load...it no longer streams as it did before.
Hulu I don't use but I believe a hacked version of the Flash app and setting the browser agent to Desktop instead of Android can make it work.
Here is the thread for the newest fixed flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077914
I recommend using dolphin browser and like mentioned above you need to set user agent as desktop.
Works good for me. Every now and then there can be some audio sync issues but that happens to me on PC during peak hulu hours too.
You can also use an app called "PlayOn Mobile" from the market, you'll have to setup the desktop version first which can be d/l from their site http://www.playon.tv/playon/
Hulu, Netflix, plus much, much more.....
It streams through your home network and I've found it works anywhere as long as I'm connected to wifi.
Update...
I upgraded my Gtablet from CM7.02 to CM7.03 and Netflix (using the Netflix market app, no build.prop edits) is now streaming again.

I switched from Vegan 7.0 to Cm7 Stable a couple weeks ago to get Netflix on my gtab. Since it's so easy to switch roms with nvflash and clockworkmod (after a couple bricking/debricking and successful installs,) I took some time this week to try out a few different roms.
Yesterday I went through 5 different roms (trying to find one that will handle plants vs zombies, nothing I tried worked very well, btw,) and then I moved back to cm7 stable last night and was disappointed to see netflix was trying to update but would never finish installing the update.
Since it would not work I once again tried out a different rom (Calkulin+Clemsyn's 1.5ghz froyo v.5.) Just out of curiosity I tried to install the updated apk netflix released this week (found it on xda) and I was surprised when it got past the install without even trying to update (though still would not play video or sound.)
Since I now had the new netflix apk, I decided to try it on a fresh install of cm7, I am happy to report that the latest netflix is once again working...just tried it. The version I am using is "com.netflix.mediacliant-2.apk" (but I think the "-2" might be optional.)
Google the qoutes with the term "xda" and see xda post/url ending with 1076150.
Ok able to get netflix on my g tab but now it wont let melog in. Itsays a newer version found and i must upgrade. When i press ok to upgrade, it says upgrade not found. WTF??????????? When i tap on "com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk, it says the applicatiion will not parse and it wont download.

Make sure you have downloaded the latest unhacked version. Uninstall the currently installed version and install the new (updated by Netflix) version.
That should do it.
I had the same issue. Running one of the earlier ones for a few days (on CM7.02), went and fired up Netflix again and it said I had to "upgrade to latest version". I did that by pulling it off my Droid and installing. It no longer worked.
I then upgraded my CM7.02 to CM7.03 and it worked just fine.
Clockwork wont install cm7.03. Many backups and installs and it still cant find the upgrade.
Netflix & Hulu
Netflix does work with CM7 Stable on the gTablet. Hulu works as well, it needs the Flash 10.3 installed.
I've noticed that hulu needs to buffer for quite some time before the vid matches the sound.
When I was on CM7 Nightly, hulu and Netflix ran perfectly but CM7 would crash on my gtab every so often, (the crash usually started with the widets failing)
Since loading CM7 stable dated May2011, it been running fine but hulu lags...
Thanks hope this others.
EDIT: *****Fixed the lagging in Hulu & Netflix******
I went into Settings>>>CyanogenMod Settings>>>Performance>>>CPU Settings
Here I set:
Avaliable Governors to PERFORMANCE (Smartass not a option),
Min CPU to 1200Mhz (was 216Mhz)
Max CPU to 1200Mhz (was 914Mhz)
I choose 1200Mhz as 1400Mhz had been a little unstable in CM7 nigthly (although I'm running CM7 Stable now) as Ive notice people reporting good stability at 1.2 Ghz. In short, setting the overclocking has increase performance in hulu and netflix which why I flashed to CM from Vegan. Good Luck to all....

Netflix Gingeritis Not Working

dopediculous said:
I didn't like the little notification toggle issues on IX so went back to VIII and now Netflix is saying there is a newer version that it must be updated to in order to work. The one that came with the Rom is the no device check, so I uninstalled and tried the other to at no avail!?
Do we have to mess with the build prob a bit to think our tbolt is a different device? I know when I did that, Netflix actually showed up in the market! So I'm guessing this may work... Any ideas? Thanks!

So... I made my device look like an incredible, went to market, installed update (because our tbolt GBs won't have Netflix in the market yet) after update installed to the "no device check Netflix .apk and the original Netflix .apk I get a little farther, but get an error about maybe my device being removed from acct (which makes no sense) or the device has been removed from Netflix. Wtf! Anyone else having Netflix issues?
4Geezy ON DopeDiculous's ROOTED TBeezy!
when I tried to rip the Apk from my Inc it was titled com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk
it didn't work on my TB running bamf2.0beta5. I did get com.Netflix.mediaclient-2.API from another thread in the general section and it works fine.
It might be the emulation of the Inc that is getting you an incompatible apk from the market.

Most stable rom?

I was using VeGen 5.11 forever, then the netflix app came out and the only rom that works with it is CM7. So I tried CM7 but have nothing but problems with it, sure netflix works, but nothing else seems to.
So what is the most stable with or without netflix support that I should be using? Should I go back to VeGen?
Thanks.
Many of the custom ROMs now support Netflix -- it works fine on Calkulin+Clemsyn's Froyo ROM, which includes full hardware acceleration as the GTab was designed for Android 2.2.
I took the same path, Vegan to CM7, and had problems also. Moved to GHarmony and so far I am pretty happy with it. It does support Netflix.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am mostly interested in finding a stable rom, I don't necessarily need netflix, I just want a rom that works.
On a side note, Sorry mods, I figured the general area was open for everything and just read that it is not a Q&A part of the forum, if you could please place it in the proper area that would be great. Thank you.
Netflix works on VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1
I just recently loaded netflix on VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 on Saturday expecting it not to work wild watching TV, but to my surpise when I look down at the screen the movie downloaded and ran. I was watching Netflix on the big screen, so I stop it and open it on the TAB and resume it to where I stop. SWEET!
[ROM][BL1.1] VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 [UPDATED - 4/11]
This ROM works with Gmail, calendar, and SKYPE too. I watch me, surf the net, etc....
I even hooked up a key chain GPS to it to check YELP and link my Droid X to it to get data and use Google Map to navigate.
Right now it seems to be a toss up between GHarmony and VeGen Ginger. One of my concerns tho is that it looks like VeGen ginger no longer receives any support (not as of April), perhaps that it not the case though as now people are saying they can use netflix on it and back in June I know it wasn't working, unless it was within the netflix app and not a change on the rom.
+1 for Calkulin+Clemsyn's Froyo ROM. It's as stable as I've seen and so fast...
New version Netflix
I had an older Netflix apx that did not work, this new one works. The app looks the same, but this new one actually works, with the exception of the search. I just go to the netflix website and add it to my instant and then use the app to play the movie.

I think they quit supporting the ROM, since other people on the XDA have developed Honeycomb ROM. I'm pretty satisfy with is ROM. I will get a new Tablet if I want Honeycomb.
So Vegantab Ginger works with Netflix. I am currently running CM7 but I really like Vegan GInger when I had that loaded.

[Q] CM7 & Hulu Plus?

Well... I am just full of questions right now. I am really loving having a standard Android style device but so far I'm not having luck with some of my core applications... Right now (after finding out I can't read magazines) I am looking for a way to watch Hulu Plus. I tried some methods of using Titanium Backup to restore it from a zip here on xda. That didn't work, still says my device is unsupported.
I have had some ideas about using the original build.prop that came with the Nook Tablet. I have gotten rather accustomed to ways of getting APKs that are not available to it.
Any ideas from anyone else would be helpful... If I can't get this to work, I'm thinking a rooted 1.4.2 device is fine with me.
Modified Hulu+ APK
This modified hulu+ apk will work.
Have you tried the stock APK from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23486852&postcount=3 ?
I don't have Hulu Plus, but the Netflix from that post works for me, while the market one has horrible A/V sync issues.
thanks for that thread link i had been looking for the netflix one and that thread had it for me!
Let me know how your apk Netflix performs, because on my NT I had the same experience as with the market one.
I actually changes back to rooted 1.4.2 on my Nook, the magazine issue is what did it. When CM9 gets further downnthe road, I may try it because there is a magazine app called Next Issue that works on Honeycomb.
Thank you all, for all the help, seriously.
