Netflix Streaming

hammester · #1 (**permalink**) 05-13-2011, 08:43 AM

So a app for netflix was just released that allows certain android phones to stream netflix. Has anyone been able to do this on the TP2? I downloaded the APK and I just get a device not supported message and then a white screen.

Nope and it probably won't happen, unfortunately.

If you know how to hack the build.prop file in system.ext2 to make it look like like one of the 5 approved devices you may get it working.

What is 'the hard way'? I edited the build.prop file as well but every time you reboot it changes back to the default settings.

Don't bother, I edited my build.prop, app shows up in market, downloads installs, runs, logs in, but doesn't play video. We have video codec issues currently (HQ youtube anyone?) so it doesn't work.
