CM7 Netflix and Flash - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running latest CM7 and have tried about all the netflix apk out there.
None worked so I gave up.
Closest I came was audio working, black screen (no video)
Today I was browsing the internet and the same problem occured when trying to play an embeded youtube video. (audio but no video)
So now Im assuming its a problem with flash?
If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Netflix doesn't use flash on android, they stream stuff natively using stagefright and the OMX media framework. Though those 2 problems could be related, it's not due to flash. It's probably a problem with the system media libraries, but plenty have gotten media to work just fine on cm7.

So how do I go about making it work?

No idea, I would read through the CM7 development thread for related issues to yours. I don't use CM7 right now since it's too unstable so I can't debug and tell you directly. I just know what it isn't from my own messing with netflix and debugging it from trying to port the needed libraries to froyo. Some else might be able to chime in and give you a solution
Are you running the latest version of CM7?

yes running latest version

I got CM7 and NetFlix works perfect for me.......
CM7 06152011
Kernel - 2.6.35.13 Nerozehl Dream 2.0.3 Beta_AOSP+
Baseband 1.16.00.0223r
Netflix - Ver 1.2.1 build 843839-1.2.0-30
Hope that helps!

[Q] Youtube HQ Elelinux

I have flashed Eyelinux 1.8 and for anyone wondering it is really great and i would strongly reccomend it.
I have the youtube app but it doesn't play video in HQ. It plays it fine when HQ is unchecked but when HQ is checked it just plays the sound.
What is the fix for this?
I heard some people saying that they got it to work in another thread by installing an older version but i'm not sure which version to install!!
Please help.
Thanks
I've got exactly the same problem on my Hero with Floyo 1.2.0. But I don't know how to fix the problem...
Salu2
maybe this has something to do with the infamous "black screen"/out of memory bug in android 2.3? Just a wild guess.
I still have sound playing.
The annoying thing is they solved it in the other thread but i can't post there because it's a development thread.
I'll try a PM
It is not a bug with Ele's rom but an incompatibility between our Hero and the HQ decoding. It does not work any GingerBread Rom, as far I know. I just turn off the HQ to continue enjoying my videos...

[Q] (Q) Calkulin+Clemson 1.5 ghz version 5 video trouble

I have installed the calkulin+clemson v5 combo and it works great....Super fast and stable. However, whenever I'm browsing the web and come across a video, the browser crashes. Doesn't matter which browser (the default or dolphin HD.) The whole reason I have a Gtab is to browse the internet, so not have internet videos on this rom is a killer. For example, an embedded youtube video will make browser crash but using youtube app on same video will work fine. Any local video playback is also fine. If no one can help me this can someone recommend a better rom for ONLY browsing the web and sometimes (rarely) playing local videos? Thanks for any help!

Can't speak specifcally about v5 (which is bl1.1 branch), but I am running calkulin+clemson combo v6(bl 1.2 branch) and I have no problems. I can view any flash video from any site; Neflix, Youtube, Hulu, Amazon Videos, Crackle, etc (except Neflix & Crackle from their apps) from the default browser). Have you downloaded the lastest Flash?
It won't let me install flash 10.3 probably because of some compatibility issues. I'll check out version 6, wish me luck 'jumping the gap.'
Could someone link me to the proper way to go from bl 1.1 to 1.2?

If I rememeber correctly, I couldn't do a direct upgrade either...had to uninstall 10.2 then install 10.3
Wow aabbandanza. I just finished installing bl 1.2 clemsyn caulakin Ver 6. And I checked to make sure the embedded videos didn't crash my browser and it crashes . I came back here to post my depressed thoughts and I see that you had first uninstalled 10.2 and then downloaded/installed 10.3. Well, I did that and videos now work! I was turned off by doing something like that because in the release notes the OP mentions that flash VER 10.2.x.x.x would come pre-installed and I figured that I shouldn't mess with that version because it was the only one that would work....silly me. Thanks for solving my problem. Moving to BL 1.2 was totally unnecessary. I could have taken the 30 seconds to uninstall and re-install flash for the same effect! Thanks guys!

[Q] Youtube Not working in HQ mode Nightly 177

Does anyone have the problem or have a solution to the problem of YouTube not playing when in HQ mode on the Nook Color in Nightly 177? The error message I get is "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry". Turning off the HQ mode while holding sideways let's me watch in the lower resolution. I finally updated from over 100 nightlies ago where HQ did work but had the battery drain issue...
Thanks
~J
Got the problem as well. You can go to YouTube on the web to watch better quality videos.
Oh, and by the way, it does seem to play some HQ videos.
I am having this same problem.any fix yet?
What version of YouTube are you running? I was having issues with 2.2.14, so I'm running an older apk, see this thread for the download info;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209653&page=3&highlight=youtube
ok I have found the solution for that.
Use the YouTube apk that is in the manualnooter 4-6-16 using rootexplorer just extract it and install it on top of whatever version you have.
FYI I think its version 2.1.6 .

Pandora slow plays every other song & Hulu runs choppy..

Hi All:
So I've checked the different threads / forum topics and while some users have reported this issue on certain ROM's Q&A sections, I dont belive this to be a specific ROM issue as I have installed 2 different ROMS (VeganTab 7.1.0 and CM7 REPACKED - currently on CM7 repacked both ROMs are BL.2). I believe both roms are based on the same verison of droid.
With both ROMs, I;ve tried the following:
ISSUE:
With the newest Pandora installed, play a station. The 1st song plays fine, the 2nd song, play reaaaaallly slow. If you press the skip >> button, the next song play fine, the 4th song will play very very slowy
FAILED TO FIXES
1 - Change ROMS, by NVFlashing DETOX (on goodintentions website) partioning the hdd, doing wipes and flashing ROMs
2 - Cleared Data on Pandora, uninstalling Pandora and redownloading from the market
3 - restoring Pandora from TiBU, clearing Data and relog in.
On another note, I've notice HULU, doesnt play as well as it used to in a Default Browser, Dolphin and Puffin. You can start a show in any of them, video play back is choppy (audio is fine) and after the 1st commercial, the browser will freeze and lock up the device.
Other than that the both ROMS work fine but am looking for input on the issue to remain on these new versions of droid.
Thanks
anyone else experiencing these problems?
I have all these issues and would love to find a fix for it...
Im using VeganTab Ginger Edition right now, when playing Hulu the video will get choppy but the audio plays fine
When this happens sometimes the video will simply stop playing or switch to a black screen
the video will stop everytime the show starts up again after a commercial
sometimes the commercials will even have the video stop playing
If I change the video quality, switch from 288 to 360 to 480 and between when the video stops playing or freezes the video will return
I recently switched to vegan-ginger 7.1. I have the pandora issue but have not tried hulu yet.
I think a lot of them are having the pandora issue but have not seen any fixes for it.
I got the issue after 7.1 also - initially not every other song but in an attempt to resolve the problem I installed latest version Pandora app. Now the symptoms have worsened and I have the same issue - every other song plays slowly.
I tried installing the Hulu app - it plays OK but low res. Netflix did play one movie fast motion, but I did not associate this with the pandora issue and did not look closely.I have not had a repeat. Crackle and Youtube seem OK also.
I tried same fixes as nyciz - NG. Will try factory wipe this w/e - but to be frank i'm kinda getting tired of messing with it. Has anyone found a music app that is as good as pandora that works on vegan 7.1?
Ok so I got my issue resolved but it was by loading the older Vegan 7.0.0
This isn't a true fix but I get hulu and Pandora working.
Caution, this version has issue with new market. I froze old market with TiBu to resolve.

I have heard it is GB... but i run GB on my SGS4G and have no issues with Pandora. I don't want to role back to the earlier Vegantab.
I had "fixed" it once, unfortunately, i don't remember what i did.. (big help i know) If i am not mistaken, i used a difference kernel with the Vegan ROM... I have since tried a few diff ones to to avail.
I guess either the devs don't see this as an issue, or they aren't having it. Pandora is HUGE for me, i use it all the time... would love to have it working on my Tab...but i lack the patients, time, and knowledge to try to find a fix... HELP US DEVS AND ALL YOUR AWESOMENESS!
Pandora Songs Playing Slow as Well
I have a Viewsonic GTablet running CyanogenMod 7, internet solely through wifi, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I thought at first that Pandora was running a slow version of the song but I was mistaken. The first song will play normal and whenever I skip to the next song, the new song will play fine but if I leave it alone, it will play slow. Netflix is the only other streaming app that I've used and it hasn't had this issue. I'm extremely new to the Android platform so any help would be highly appreciated.
It's a bummer since I love Pandora.
Like I said in my post, either no one who has the knowledge to fix it cares, or they simply aren't having the issue.

Same issue with Pandora
I'm having the same issue with Pandora playing every other song slowly. Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1. If I go back to running 7.0.3 then the Pandora app works fine. I've gone back and forth several times. I've tried removing data and uninstalling the app, but when I reinstall I get the same problem. I had wondered if it were something with the renaming on the device from harmony to smb_a1002, so I tried to change the build.prop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any where with the problem.
Any input or help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.
Had no issues running Pandora on non Ginger Vegan. Updated to 7.1 yesterday and am having the exact 'slowness' issues stated above.
Amazon Cloud player is NOT having any speed/slowness issues...
Regular device music/playlist plays fine.
Any fixes yet for Pandora??
Nope, no one seems to care...I sold my g-tab... lol

Ok guys and gals I think I found a fix:
I sideloaded the new pandora (not on market, just google it) Pandora 1.5.4 Black version. It seems to work fine with no slow down of the songs at least all day...will edit if it fails.
EDIT: AGGGHH it did it again I notice it works fine if you skip but if you let it naturally go to the next song it slows down. It was working fine earlier.......ok I give up....
Did not work for me either. Thanks for posting

I know for a fact that Pandora 1.5.14 works just fine on Vegan 7.0.0

Netflix completely useless all the sudden..

Hey guys.. I don't know what's going on but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm currently running WTSB 1.9 on my 3vo with a stock kernel and my netflix app just so that work well anymore. I used to have basically perfect video and sound on it.. Now the video is slowed down to what appears to be about half its regular speed but the audio just keeps on going at regular speed making it very unwatchable. This happens on 4g or WiFi.. Both of which used to give perfect results. Could it be the rom since I updated recently? Something else? Videos saved on my sd in HD still play perfectly so I know it's decoding right. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if the rom is at fault or not, My netflix works just fine, I am using Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_deodex from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321452 I have tried many roms always end up going back to stock, thanks to this thread it's easier to go back to stock and not have to restore my data either.
Only way you will know if it's the rom or not is to try another rom, then test netflix, if netflix works then it was the rom.
