Hi,
recently I wanted to stream content from my PC and my archos asked for the cinema plug-in.
Actualy several question came into my mind as I thought about bying it:
1.) What exactly is it? Just some codecs - so the archos default videoplayer can play MPEG2,..?
2.) As I don't use the stock ROM - will it work on custom rom's too (UrukDroid)? Dont't think Crayogen will work as it doesn't has the archos player app - am I right?
3.) Wouldnt it be more easy to use another videoplayer instead (-> different ROM usage possible, cheaper then 15€ propably,...) ? Can u give me an advice wich app is worth it if so?
4.) What about hardware decoding then?
5.) What about UPNP capability of other players? Already had UPnPlay - but seems to be qute slow atm.
6.) Oh and one last question abut the Plug-in: I read its enabled in several stock Rom verion atm - did they disable in latest 81 again or is it still enabled?
Well - hope i find some help.
greetings

1) Actually we all have the codecs, the plugin just watermarks the device so the codecs are "free" so we can use it.
2) I dont know if its gona work on Urukdroid, i think no because urukdroid have its own partition..
3) The other video players arent so good as the archos video player because the most of them doht have 4)&5)
6) The cinema plugin is disabled on firmware 2.3.26
Tip:
I have the openAOS boot menu with Urukdroid as normal os and the archos android 2.3.26 for watching movies from my hdd
(You can find instructions in my thread at general section)
I know that since the 4th to last firmware it is free for everyone, don't know if it's been blocked again in the last version but it still works in urukdroid, that I can say for shure

The cinema plugin was "disabled" on firmware 2.3.20 and 2.3.26
In the newest 2.3.81 you need the plugin.. so on 2.3.20 and 2.3.26 it was a failure from archos
I bought the plug-in.
I tried first to install the plug-in on urukdroid but got an error.
Also after 3 times. Then I switch to Android directly the plug-in installed successfully. Back to urukdroid and tried once, but still the error. Then I checked the plug-in status in the settings and saw that the cinema plug-in was installed. Tried to play a video with ac3 audio and was working.
I ordered the plug-in on pluginsky.us for 15$.
I received the key after one business day.

Hey guys - thanks for all your help...
So I think i stay with the version of Lenn for now and perhaps buy it one day if we get a propper upgrade to at least Gingerbread.
Lenn can u provide a link to their servers containing FW .36? can find it anymore and I sadly overwrote my file on my HD with the .81 FW

EDIT:
Damn - another problem showed up - dunno if it happens for any of u - but the default video player f***s up my sound somehow.
The whole sound sounds strange and blurry unless ich change balance completely to one side - then it sounding "hearable" but still not right (btw the balance deosn't chance the balance actualy for me)
What i tested for now is:
Uruk 1.0 with default Video player: sound crappy
Uruk 1.0 with RockPlayer: sound crappy
FW .81 with default Video player: sound crappy
FW .81 with RockPlayer: sound fine
Well as this is not topic regarded anymore we better close this thread and i open a new one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16066988#post16066988
Well personally I think its lame that Archos does that ****.i
With that Cinema Plug-In...
I just convert my video's with Hamster Free Video Converter it has a special feature for the Archos 10i but it works fine with Archos 70it.
Just Google it But here is the link to the site I have scanned the files : OK .
Well here is the link : http://videoconverter.hamstersoft.com/en/
If you have the money buy it if you want to save up and buy a case use the Converter...
(Hit thanks if helped )
I bought the Cinema plugin because some 40% of my movies were AC3-encoded. Didn't feel like paying $15 for it, but in the end I bought it from archos.com.
Then I installed UrukDroid 1.5 and saw that the plugin was recognized. It would have been pretty sucky for it not to work in UrukDroid.
so here is my sick question
if it works: buying and then use UrukDroid; shouldn't it be also work then to inst v2.3.20 or 2.3.26 of stock FW and run any UrukDroid?
EDIT:
will try just download the FW:
http://update.archos.com/8/gen8/gen8_2.3.26/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
2nd EDIT:
k - seems i have to downgrade for - let see if this:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...8-device-28-32-43-70-101-2-0-71-2-0-54-a.html
works.
3rd EDIT:
downgrade work - plugin of .3.26 sadly not - even its telling registered (perhaps this is also the freeplugins)
I just want to point out that every player has UPNP and SMB capability on the Archos, even if it's not obvious. Just navigate in the filesystem to /sdcard/network, which is where the mountpoints are.

well y i find the network folder "/mnt/storage/network" or "/storage/network" wich should be the same symlinked propably
Thanks for this - nice to know.
Anyway it brings me back to another / old problem - as all what is in those folders are "not_allowed" folders due to unsufficiend rights and the missing capability of my archos to connect to win7 shares
Hi there guys,
I am new in this forum and actually new in android devices so i have this issue i think that i will be able to find the help that i need. I got this app which i bought with the tv box which happens to be a Geniatech atv 310, with an arm cortex a9 processor. The apo worked perfectly fine no problem at all the device had android 4.0.4 ics version. After two weeks i bought to my brother an another tv box, and i thought i will just give him the same app and we could both use it ( i bought him a: android tv smart player mini pc, works with android 4.2 jelly bean, it also supports full HD ) but when i installed the app, i get the audio but the video says: unsupported video. Any chance i could edit this app make it compatible for all sort of tv boxes or any other solution you might offer, feel free to fill me in. I have tried mx player, mc player codecs, and vlc, real player nothing at all.
Ps: the app is with tv channels, i guess they are streaming channels i have no other information how it works and stuff.
Good afternoon everyone,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done, because is blacklisted server side, but I'd want your opinion before giving up.
Is there any way to run the Netflix apps version for Android TV on non Android TV devices?
I've downloaded "Netflix (Android TV) 4.0.4 build 1716" (com.netflix.ninja_4.0.4_build_1716-1716_minAPI22(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk) from APKMirror, it installs itself well, i can login, it starts but as soon as i play a movie i get this error: We're Having Trouble Playing This Title Right Now, tvq-pq-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
I've searched in a lot of forums and it seems like nobody has been able to find a workaround.
Netflix understand that it's not running on a "certified device" and it blocks the playback.
Is there a way to bypass this?
My device is rooted so i could even change some system files, to make it look like another device.
I've got a Probox2 Air with regular Android, which is great for me, but it's a too difficult to use for my parents, with the smartphone version of Netflix and the air mouse.
In this forum the app modder simply says "Problem - Non-android TV boxes are blacklisted": http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index....ndly-apps-modified-to-work-on-regular-android
In the thread, a lot of people are in my same situation.
I've alredy tried to uninstall all the Netflix app, clear data and cache, logout and login, but it has been useless.
I really hope you can help me somehow.
If not, i think i'm going to sell the Probox2 Air and buy a Xiaomi Mi Box 3, but i'd really like to save the money and the time.
Bye!
I had the same issue and i just found a workaround which is a great solution to force HD and ultraHD on L1 and L3 widevine devices.
find bellow the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/netflix-hd-ultrahd-ultrahd-dolby-5-1-l1-t3535349

I'm sorry dude but:
- That APK doesn't seem to fix my problem. That's about forcing HD but i don't care about HD, i want the Android TV version of the app.
- It seems it has a malware in it:
I signed up just to warn you all this contains a virus.
Currently only the below file is effected.
h t t p : / / 1 9 9 . 1 7 5 . 5 3 . 2 1 / n e t f l i x l a t e s t . h d o n l y . a p k (Force Enable HD only)
Im sure he will change that seeing that im saying this now.
its a trojan

This all seems pretty suspicious to me.
Hi there,
I bought a android box trongle X8, with a great performance spec (2G RAM/ 16G ROM). However, i found a problem using Netflix as It apears the error message tvq-pb-103 (1.10.5005.CODE_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Then I did my first research on the net about the error message, I learned more about Netflix and its new way of authentication in order to stream HD and UHD using widevineCDM, classifying L1 for certified devices and L3 for non-certified devices. I found as well your post that mentioned the same error message but no solution or workaround.
Then during all the day, I tried a version of Netflix for normal android (not TV) that works but the quality was SD. and after that, I found the link I have just posted to you, and I tried it by deleting the spaces between letters and it works and the quality was HD.
I was trying to share what I find as there is limited articles and person who are talking about this issues and there is no solution.
About the link, there is no trojan, or I am not aware of it, I downloaded the tree links and used tested one by one. I kept the ultraHD and it works as mentioned by the link owner.
I wish I could help, and of course, I would like to have an Android version that will work for my device as well, so I will keep looking if there is any update.
Kind Regards,
Nass
In that case, sorry if I was suspicious. And thank you for your effort.
Could you confirm that the APK you liked is a mod for the regular version of Netflix, not the Android TV one?
The version is the regular version. the version that we use on the smartphone, which is not the same of course than the android tv version, I agree.
Ok! Thank you anyway.
Best regards.
Sadly, I've found no solutions form this problem.
I had to buy a device with Android TV, the Xiaomi Box 3, which is great for my parents.
If someone finds a workaround, please let me know, I would love to have the Android TV version of Netflix on my Probox2.
Bye!
I gave up, eventually.
I did a new research recently and I didn't find any news, it still seems there's no way to use the Android TV version of Netflix on a non Android TV device.
So I bought a Xiami Mi Box 3, which is great.
Cheap, with updated Android TV os, good performance, comfortable remote and certified by Netflix.
I've discovered there's also an Android TV version of Google Play Music that is way better than the regular one, that's pretty unusable on TV.
I too have a Xiaomi Mi box 3 on my main tv its awesome. I have a MXQ pro 4k in my bedroom I installed a custom rom I found on freaktab that runs Android TV you cant tell the difference between the two by looking at them the lower spec MXQ pro plays Kodi, Plex, YouTube and Pluto TV flawlessly however NO HD Netflix its stupid I pay for HD Netflix and have a device powerful enough to run it but They go out of their way by putting extra blocks to prevent users from using their app just doesn't make sense to me.
Hi cscott1!
Could you please leave us here the link to the custom ROM you're talking about? It would be nice to give it a try!

Yep, that's the main point of all of this matter.
My Probox2 was powerful enough to use Android TV Netflix app and HD streaming but Netflix doesn't want me to do it. That's silly. Anyway, they're the ones in command.

The fact that I couldn't find a working Netflix apk for Android TV for my uncertified device irritated me so much that I decided to make my own sort of lol you can tweak the settings of Titan BETA skin for Kodi to look and act very much like Android TV Netflix here is what you can make it look like.

That's seriously really cool, mate! Congratulations!
Maybe if I had seen your work before, I would have kept my Probox2.
Thank you for posting in this thread.
Someone will have the apk mod of 3.2.2 netflix Android TV mod from the wetek forum, mega links were canceled.
I have Magisk + hide + lioemcrypto module + L1 and L3 would like to try if this apk works, very interested in the design and not in the resolution.
Hi januxool, no, I'm sorry, I didn't save it anywhere so I haven't got it.
Remote Crontrol issues Original Netflix don't scroll episodes menus
The Netflix works with the Original Remote Control? Can I change episodes 18, 20,21 with the original remote control or I need to buy a Mini-Keyboard to scroll on netflix episode menus?
Bump.
Still no way to get this working?
I'm sure with a rooted device there's a way to trick Netflix servers into thinking I'm using a certified box.

There is....... It's called Terrarium.
I've had this box almost a year and it has worked okay. It's still on Android 6.0 (ROOT) (what it came with)
It black screens google play until i force close, then works. We just got a new 4k TV and the various random bugs here and there plus my hatred of the Media Box launcher has made me decide to upgrade to Android 7 and set up a custom rom with android 7 and a better launcher. I really like how it looks in this video www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?time_continue=2&v=NhdQltHVSGo superceleron put out, but he doesn't have any 2/16 variants i can find.. I have rooted almost every phone and tablet i've owned, and I've switched a few Kindle Fire 1st gens to 5.0 so I'm comfortable with a brick risk.
I bought it from BG www(dot)banggood(dot)com/H96-Pro-Plus-Amlogic-S912-2GB-RAM-16GB-ROM-TV-Box-p-1117115.html?cur_warehouse=CN
How do i know which maker and version it is exactly so i get the correct rom? there are a few makers of the Amlogic s912 TV boxes and i don't know how to tell which one i have. it looks like an alphawise but it doesn't have alphawise written on the top.
I read that i need to take it apart to get the color of the board to further determine the correct rom.
I'm looking to run the 4k netflix but read it's unavail to rooted devices for some reason, I prefer root for backups and adblockers etc. can i hide root from netflix somehow?
am i wanting to install TWRP and load rom from there or use the update program that came on my TV box. how would i be able to backup my system and what app would i use?
If anybody has any links to some guides i can read up on that would be greatly appreciated, This will be my first time putting a custom rom on a TV box.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am new to XDA. I rant into a problem with my newly purchased Android TV and wanted to mention the problem here with a hope to have some help. Kindly note that my TV is a Singer 49" 4k Android 8.0 TV. It is the re-branded version of Skyworth 49U5A model.
If I install Netflix I get an error code ui-800-3. I tried all possible fix related to this error code that I found in Google. But did not help.
The SoC is MediaTEK MT5891. I found a app named com.mediatek.partner.netflix (Netflix Launch Service app). Not understanding the purpose of this app. Can anybody explain me what is the purpose of this app?
Also is there anyway to run Netflix Android TV version in my TV based on the information I provided?
Many thanks in advance.
I have the same issue. Was it resolved?
