You're not losing that much... they're 5 low def movies (stupidly enough, since we have an high def screen), not even 720p.
Free stuff is always welcome, but if you had the PS3 or Vita the last one (with the Xperia Z) gave you 25 euros that went directly in your Sony Entertainment wallet... that was something!
They told us we should be getting an early copy of Elysium, maybe that will be HD, who knows...

How come?
They all go in either the internal or external card, in the Movie folder.
They have a weird extension, but if opened as video Mx Player can handle them just fine, and I bet VLC will play them as well (there's no point unless you have an SD monitor, since they are not HD films).
Oh, once downloaded you'll find "ROOT/LICENSE" folders in your memory, don't delete it, it contains the keys for the movies to be used in the "Movies" app (I guess drm/X-Reality related stuff).

Yeah got it fixed yesterday - realised the issue was because my PSN account was registered with a US address because I previously bought content only available in the US. Created a new AU account and it works fine

Netflix is here for Android users!
I've packaged up the APK into an easy little installer that takes about 5 seconds.
Have fun!
EDIT: This was pulled from an LG Revolution dump. It doesn't allow you to play anything streaming yet. But it does allow for everything else.
Sooo close!
I got really excited when I saw this. Can't wait till its all ironed out and ready to go.
Thanks for this! Can't wait until we can get streaming, and also Hulu Plus for that matter. Down with traditional cable!
Cant wait til I can actually stream lol
Is this new? Its been leaked for about a week or more and I already installed it. I really thought this was a working version and was pretty happy.

The original post from this discussion was from a week ago. Someone just commented and bumped it.
Might be a stupid question. But do you have to pay for these movies?
If yes, why not just use the regular Netflix service.

If you have a Netflix account then you can stream "Watch Instantly" movies over the phone, just like you can on the computer or Roku box.
i thought the deal was that you'd need a phone with the right drm capabilities before being allowed to stream? Not saying it won't get hacked for other phones, but i'm a little skeptical that we'll be able to just pull an apk and get streaming.
Just downloaded and tried it with my Atrix and Netflix account. Streaming is allowed and videos start to load, but after a few seconds screen goes white, then flashes back to Netflix main page.

Streaming is not allowed. The app hasn't even gone official yet. The app is trying to stream but it can't because it's not enabled yet.

Not really I just copied everything from the SDCard over to my old one. It appears to download the license after you sign up for the service. It doesn't seem to be downloading it. Maybe the license can't be downloaded via wifi. I will try it after it gets done downloading Spiderman.
Also so you can view 3D pictures with a NVidia Card and 3D glasses, Nice!
The movie is on the SD card. It's 1.76 GB. I haven't tried using 3g to download the license, as I haven't activated the phone yet.

DRM FTW
All DRM has ever done was make things more difficult for non pirates, perhaps driving legitimate purchasers to piracy. The pirates aren't going to pay for it anyway and now paying customers are reluctant to as well.

Same error. I figured I'd run into issues when I copied the SDCard contents. I have an extra 8GB Class 6 and replaced the included 8GB Class 4.
My Evo 4G had a Class 2.

i bought a blu ray drive for my htpc.
after countless stupid ass hdcp errors, firmware issues, protection issues, etc i said **** it and have downloaded torrent 1080p rips ever since. havent purchased a blu-ray since.
I have a feeling it's due to the device not being officially "released". If you need to check out 3D video/pictures, check out the preloaded gallery photos, or search youtube for "3D". There are some cool vids out there. I also already downloaded an imax 3d movie and it looks spectacular.
Yeah, i'm guessing the DRM license isn't valid until the 24th
Is there a way to make it work on the gs2? I copied the apk from my infuse but says it can't connect to server, something like that. I got Netflix app working great but now I need this.
Thanks
I even went further then you did. I signed up for a Media Hub account using a Droid Charge at Costco. Then Media Hub on my SGS2 lets me sign-in, store credit cards, and shop but won't let me buy anything. I'm sure it'll be on the U.S. variants so maybe we'll have better luck then.

I found the Media Hub APK on one of the other Samsung XDA forums and installed it. It wouldn't let me do anything. I used the Droid Charge to set up an account. Media Hub on my SGS2 recognized the account I already set up. It still won't let me buy anything though. Samsung Movies from the UK is pretty cool too. It won't let us buy anything because it recognizes the phone's outside the UK. We're orphans.
That worked! Got the right apk and its all good, thanks!

You are able to access previously downloaded media and purchase new? Like some of the others I can browse but can't purchase... I was set up previously on the Charge and Infuse and already have paid for movies that I cannot access on the SGS2.

Consider the deal broken. I think the Samsung servers are reading something off the phone and can tell it's not a valid device. Maybe one of the devs can figure out what data that is and spoof it. If not we're out of luck. Maybe things will change once the U.S. variants start to roll-out and we can install their APK.
Has anyone managed to find a solution for this? It seems odd that the AT&T branded S2 has this built in but those of us using the international S2 are locked out. Has anyone managed to edit the apk?
Just a reminder to those like myself who typically leave the paperwork in the box. There's a $25 media hub voucher good for buying various tv shows on the Samsung Media Hub app, many of which you own forever. It's a free credit and it expires 1/1/2012. Actually the expiration depends on when you activate it. It appears to be 90 days out...
So use that thing!!
[EDIT] Sorry, missed the part about being only for TV shows.
Ha, I just went through the box and found it accidentally.

Mine isn't greyed out. I don't feel like buying any movies, I download everything, newsgroups and verizon fios=epic. So I don't even feel like downloading anything. If I could just figure out how to transfer massive bluray files onto my phone/sd card...that would be awesome.
Movies are not grayed out for me either. I haven't tried buying any, but it does prompt me for a code. Tested on about five using rent and buy.
And yeah, I download all of my movies/TV for free . Fios FTW!
Too bad it expires. It would be nice if I could add it to my account and keep it available in case I'm on the road and missed a show and want to watch it quickly. Oh well, I guess I'll find something to buy in the next few months.
Also, Samsung had a web signup form for people who purchased their devices and want the $25 credit. I wonder if I'll get another one since I signed up.
Totally missed this. Excellent -- I'll hold off on uninstalling Media Hub (for now).
Movies won't be greyed out. The gift card will be and you won't be able to choose it as payment option when purchasing movies.

Yes, wi-fi is everywhere.
Didn't know about the network restriction requiring wifi only. I was a bit curious why the $25 voucher said, as step 1, to make sure you were on wifi. Probably some deal they brokered with AT&T. Damn them. It makes no sense since the devices already support streaming media. But my earlier comment was more along the lines of being away for business, or vacation, etc. and wanted to catch a show I missed.
One of the reasons I bought this was for the tethering ability (for my Galaxy Tab 8.9). Since it too has Media Hub, and would connect to the GS2 using wifi, I bet that I could download the movie/show on it using the phone's 3G. Might have to test this out later tonight...

With the $25 credit, you can only rent/buy TV shows. You have to be on wifi to download anything. Going to download and watch some shows then remove Media Hub.
I see what you mean now.. at first I thought it was grey out at the movie page.. then it was actually grey out at the purchase page.. only TV shows.. argh.. so hard to spend the $25 then.
Yes sorry i wasnt more clear. You can only use it for tv shows. I downloaded the charlie sheen roast from comedy central and saturday night live since they are all an hour long and the only thing i find worth it.

I have premium to,now for three years, never have had problem whit my devices,include my ipad, but unfortunately Sony Tablet don't work property, and this happens for all the honeycomb tablets, check around!
Sorry about getting back here.I'm stuck in Bangkok amid all the floods and aint been able to get online for about 4 days now.
I contacted Spotify and they told me that only the Premium version is supported in tablets.They also said that there were no immediate plans for tablet support for ultimate customers which is a bit of a bummer cause I only wanted it to use on my tablet.I'm not really sure if Spotify is worth 10 euros a month
I have premium and it works ok but it is clearly not optimised. For some reason I can not sync tracks for offline play on my tablet but that could be something to do with the number of devices I have on my account.
I will not wait anymore, so today installed Wimp and works very well and now I can synk my music offline,is not so pretty but the music sounds good! So maybe I will say bye spotify!
