[Q] Anyone having problems with netflix.apk? - Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps

Hi everyone, I am running kahlpowers miui v4 (yes I know it is an old rom and am about to upgrade) but I am having problems with the netflix.apk from the market. When I play a video, it doesnt play smoothly at all. The video buffers fine but the video looks REALLY laggy and the audio is out of sync. My connection is fine because I am connected to wifi. Is anyone else getting this issue too? and if so, what rom are you using?
THANKS...
[Netflix app version 1.3.0 build 246]

I have switched in the last day to CM6 and I am still getting the same issues in that rom with netflix.

CM7 Netflix and Flash

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!

Does the Starburst ROM have Wifi problems?

I recently installed the Starburst ROM, and I noticed that I get a lot of "network error" messages when I try to stream from Amazon MP3 cloud. I never had these issues on stock.
Any advice/help on fixing this issue?
Also, I wanted to post this in the Starburst ROM thread, but I don't have enough access yet.
I'm using the StarBurst ROM and it works good for me in my visible 2.6 and 5GHz
networks. I know some android devices has problems with channels > 11 but my GT with the Starburst ROM works fine. Both Youtube streaming and Spotify works.
Yea, Youtube works fine for me too. So maybe this just a problem with Amazon MP3?

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

It seems to depend on the user/hardware. I haven't seen the lag or synch issues on my TP running xron cm7.
How's your wifi speed?
I think netflix just updated the app as well.
im having the same problem. so i went back to cm 7
Same issues here. Running Xron VB2. Tried my wifi connection as well as 4g off my phone and quality was not so great. I also have the newest netflix app.
Check out the XRON thread in the developer's forum. He's up to B2.2 now. I just rechecked my netflix and it ran flawlessly.

[Q] Any non-TP owners having trouble with Netflix (garbled video)

Hey all,
I wanted to see if a problem with Netflix is unique to the HP Touchpad running CM11 (4.4.4). The app works fine when browsing for titles, but as soon as I try and play anything, the video is garbled for 30-60 seconds (audio is fine) after which it magically works (although I think there might be audio/video sync issues at that point). Is anyone with a different device/ROM seeing this same problem? I haven't tried it yet but others are saying that going back to an older version of the Netflix app (pre the updated theme) makes everything work fine so it seems like it's the app, not the ROM/device.
