I've looked through the forums and only see this referenced in a sideways manner.
[Q] Any confirmed sightings of Netflix streaming on an HDT HD2? The "Watch-It-Now" feature, not the trailers feature.
I see a few possibilities.
1) Wait for Android to release Netflix client, then boot droid to run netflix.
2) Boot Win7 and download netflix from MarketPlace.
3) Load Win6.5 ROM patch that gets either Uzard or Skyfire fast enough.
Problem with (1) is that Netflix has stated that their Android app would be device specific, not device agnostic. This means a Android clone phone wouldn't run it
Problem with (2), I've heard no confirmed reports that Win7 ports were stable enough to stream Netflix, or Fair Use enough to use Market Place.
Problem with (3), I don't see that anyone has done it. I have streamed Netflix through Uzard on the stock ROM, but it's running at about 1 frame-per-second with no sound. Definitely unwatchable.
So thanks for the forum, hopefully I've missed the glaringly obvious.

Uhm...no. Until there is native Silverlight support, WinMo will never support Netflix streaming, as Netflix seems to have no intention of producing an official WM client. The best bet for streaming in my opinion is to either wait for a WP7 or Android client and then boot either OS and run it from there.

Figured, but thought I'd ask.
About WP7... Am I paranoid, or will Microsoft target people using WM7 bootlegs on marketplace? They really stamped down on XBox 360 homebrew. I figure they will know exactly who I am as soon as I go to marketplace to grab netflix, and that netflix will know exactly who I am when I stream videos. {edit} And by "who I am" I mean an HTC HD2 owner running WP7 which Microsoft and HTC had explicitly forbidden.
Thanks
PlayOn client was just released but requires 2.2. I wonder if anyone can get it and upload the apk so we can test it on Nook Color with 2.1 on it?

tried it on my Nook Color, doesn't work with the Plex server version for Windows. I can see/browse my media but as soon as I hit play, it stops and drops the connection.
Also, ripped my quite large DVD collection and I have over 100 movies in a list. Large collections will crash the server immediately. Obviously not fully baked yet.
Didn't experience crashes with Plex server, works well for me both on my nook and my iphone. Quality wise I find Airvideo works better for the iPhone. Also note that Plex is smoother in Nookie Froyo than it is in stock nooted form even with a 900mhz overclock on the nooted system.
In the end I'll stick with plex for now since I really like the scrubbing of metadata it does for my library.
Not sure if the libary issue you had soricon was due to too many entries, for me I have 30 tv shows with various numbers of seasons each all organized into folders ( TV\Show\Season X . . ). Plex server is running on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, system is a 2.5Ghz core2duo with 4gb of RAM.
Here are some great alternatives to netflix for your touchpad.
Hulu , works great but you may need to patch your browser to make it work.
epctv.com , watch live online tv, I watch CNN live on here.
crackle.com , they have a big selection of movies. Its not netflix but hay its free.
zinc.tv , you really should check this out. Online media center for your touchpad. Watch all kinds of shows for free with a great interface.
Epixhd.com - Great alternative to Netflix.
some of these sites may not work with ad blocker installed.
if anyone can think of others, please share.
tv.blinkx.com
and
sidereel.com
they host LINKS to sites that host the episodes so as far as I know (I could easily be wrong) it's legal.
If you have a hbo subscription wwwhbogo.com.
EPIXHD.COM works great on the TP. Just watched The Captains on it in HD.
thanks for the links!
rlee
This is a GREAT list!
Any idea how someone would be able to watch/listen to NFL games on the touchpad, or even at all? We recently moved 2 states away and won't be able to follow our local team.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably using espn online since it's flash.
Also, al jazeera english has a live tv stream for news on youtube.com
"wwitv.com" EXACTLY like that. Its a crappy site but a great way to watch live broadcasts. I'm watching Fox's live broadcast from NY right now. Decent framerate, always live.
there is also orb streaming for the touchpad - (http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/294298-orb-media-streaming-awesome.html)
I've use orb in the past with dishnetwork, works great.
im looking forward to netflix finishing their switch from silverlight to html5 video. they already did for chrome os. when everything is sorted out on it, itll be open to linux and the others soon, and hopefully we can watch it in the touchpads browser soon.
Is there a patch on Preware for adding Hulu support to the browser?
I use p2p4u.net lot of sports and local tv stations for America
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
the app video flood hd is really nice it has all the links you have listed and a lot more all wrapped up in a easy UI, and there is a Hulu fix in preware, for who want that.
If you're trying to add Hulu support, make sure you add these testing feeds to Preware.

Netflix is not currently available for WebOS devices. The forum at slickdeals suggests to reply to @Netflixhelps on Twitter and request an official release of the Netflix streaming app for WebOS.
Hulu is also not currently available for WebOS devices. There is a workaround I found posted, but that I personally have not tried. I will edit this post after I try it to let you know how it goes. Google "prewarewebosbuzz Hulu". First result.
You can stream video content from your PC to Touchpad by using Tversity. From slickdeals:
1. Install Tversity media server on your laptop/desktop.
2. After installation, add the files you want to view on the library tab. To add an avi file, go to Library, File system, Files and click add item on top.
3. Open cmd prompt on your computer, and type "ipconfig" There you should find your IP address. Note this down.
4.On your touchpad, open a web browser, then type in :41952/flashlib after your IP address. For example, h t t p : // 192.168.1.0 :41952/flashlib
There you should be able to browse your folders to find the video you are looking for. One problem is that you can't rewind/forward etc.
Again Slickdeals:
Amazon Video On Demand/Prime Videos works runs rather well. Audio holds up well but you might need to use the pop out function on the player over full screen to get it to fill the screen. It might lag when first starting it up but pausing and allowing it to buffer will allow it to self correct.

or you can install kalemsoft media player http://www.kalemsoft.com/site/demos/com.kalemsoft.ksmplayera_0.3.7_tp.ipk using the webos quick install program that you used to install preware on your touchpad. dont install it from preware, itll crash.
Hp Touchpad

Anyone know if there's a way to get Silverlight video content to play on Android?
Silverlight is a Microsoft product...
Also, haven't seen anything regarding it.
unsure

What exactly does that provide?
I think netflix uses it on pc internet explorer. Netflix works onthis tablet now. Don't know if it means they use silverlight, hope someone more familiar with netflix development knows.

Sky Go on my laptop uses it. As there is no Sky Go app on Android tablets, I thought it may be workable through the browser if it can support Silverlight. Doesn't look possible though sadly...

If sky want to compete with netflix then they should stop discriminating against android.

remix os is great for some productivity stuff but since i have tried it for a week but no way around it plays videos on youtube or anyother streaming app or site so lets assume that this is a bug and i hope devlopers at jide will try to remove it in upcoming update. but until then if you want to play some video offline you can use vlc android app and it works fine on remix.

Having this problem too, and from what I've seen in the forums alot of people are facing it as well.
As a temporary solution, try BSPlayer. It's the only video playing app I tried that works at the moment. A bit clunky but functional.
Hopefully this will be fixed with the the coming updates =)
EDIT: I tried VLC player, but for some reason it crashes the entire OS for me xD
its to do with the graphics...my system can play full HD videos and 3D games like CSR2
try this....it might help:

I can confirm that on my Intel Core i3 with integrated hd 2000 YouTube works fine, video playback is fine, but on my older 24inch msi ae2400 that has an Amd 4670 mobile gpu video playback doesn't work and YouTube doesn't work. So i think its to do with the Amd video drivers, not sure if NVIDIA cards have a better driver, but intel gpu's seem ok
Youtube videos stream when I request the desktop version of the site in a web browser. This is not a graphics problem. There seems to be something wrong in mobile mode and something right in desktop mode. The browser proves it. Youtube and all those other apps must be running in mobile mode and that is where it seems the problem is. Try it... . Run Youtube in a browser in Desktop Mode --not mobile mode. Request Desktop Mode in a browser. @aayush97 @StormShadow_94 @freelancer81 @p3dboard

Good that you took the trouble to find the solution to the problem.
For me, I can't use internet as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Maybe install opera/opera mini and see....that's what I use anyway.....I dislike stock browsers.
Or better yet, use the official youtube app...more feature rich and stable than browsers.

You need a browser with "a request desktop version" option. I don't think opera mini has this option. Moreover and probably a topic for another thread, in relation to your wifi problem, you could use somebody's android or apple smartphone to create a mobile wifi hotspot for your remix os computer to connect to. It will work. All smart phones have a mobile wifi hotspot.

thanks for the suggestion....about the browser.
opera mobile or opera mini (which i am using on my note 10.1 has that option.
regarding wifi hotspot.....if my pc has no wifi, how could i connect to any wifi hotspots?
anyways, i am not using it (RemixOS) as a go to OS yet....just trying out....so...no need for internet.
thanks again!
I can play videos in Chrome and VLC just fine, however MX Player simply crashes when opening the video (even the Remix Mini video). The laptop I'm testing it on has a Core i5-3317U with Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Thanks for the suggestions =)
I forgot to mention that despite video playback not working in the Youtube and Facebook apps (haven't tried others yet), they play fine when viewed from the web browser. On Chrome, clicking and holding the video itself even pops up a "save video" option; an added bonus =P
For me this is how I use Youtube and Facebook on Windows anyway (through Chrome not the standalone apps) so it doesn't bother me at all. I play local videos using BSPlayer and they play great and they have subtitle support.
Only thing I'm struggling to get working are games. Not one single game works and an OS crash is always caused. I'm using an Nvidia gpu (GT 315 to be precise..... I know it's a very crappy one xD). Hopefully we'll get better compability in the coming updates =)
Intel Mobile GME 965 Express Graphics Card (Compaq 610)
Installed 3.0.201 Still problems when playing Netflix, Youtube etc videos from the app. Video freezes very soon while audio continues. When playing videos from Chrome browser no problem. I have a Compaq 610 with Intel Integrated Mobile GME 965 Graphics Card. When will Remix support this?
Cheers,
Patrick
problem is the video cards. to at least be able to watch youtube, just open the youtube app, click on the three dots top right of the video window and choose video quality of 360 or less and you will be fine.........
