Has anyone gotten Netflix working on the S tab?
I've been trying since day one to no avail...
It doesnt work on tablets, at least not the Sony S or the Acer Iconia. (i only own those two, and it doesnt work on either one.)
Same problem here. Maybe with the root we could apply a patch. Also skype video is a problem Don't know if it is connected with some video library

It works on plenty of tablets. I just returned the thinkpad tab, worked fine. Also works on my gTab.
I have been able to install 1.4.1. It loads up fine, only issue is when video is launched.

Exectly same problem here

Same Here 1.3, 1.4 and 1.4.1 all got the same issues (error 12001)
My tablet is still on 3.1 honeycomb, I don't think upgrading system to 3.2 will help. Keeping 3.1 as long as I can just in case root comes out to fix video in netflix and Skype.

I got this tablet yesterday. I think the fix will be identical to the one on the transformer once we gain root (i.e. adding the missing lib)
I dont think its the Tab as much as it is the apps... cause Netflix didnt work, and for video chatting Tango, and Skype doesnt work but, google+, or just using video chat within gMail works fine.
Official skype works with video now - i hope netflix their example and fix video too.

I've tried Movicha and for whatever reason the PC only receives the audio from the gTablet, not the video.
I've also tried vTok. I'm able to get A/V on both devices but the picture is rotated on its side (and, no, turning the camera doesn't work).
I just now tried Yahoo Messenger as well and it has the same issues as Movicha (though I realize it's in beta and only officially supports the MyTouch 4G and EVO)
Is there any other way to do video chat with a PC on the gTablet?
I don't know what to use either. Been messin with video chat between gtab and PC all week.
What I've discovered:
Yahoo --> PC works kinda
I could never get the video addon to mesh with the yahoo msngr app quite right, had to reinstall for every use on tnt lite and with vegan 5 won't work at all
when it did work audio was unreliable and video eventually got unusable
vTOK --> best audio but video was atrocious
movicha --> seems like it would be best but I have same problem you do and can't receive audio from pc to droid either (dont have web cam to test right now).
I guess fring worked with skype last year until skype pulled support so verizon could have exclusive access or some BS like that.
In other words bad news all around
Try tango
Edit: Sorry looks like its cross mobile platform but not on pc

Here is a version of yahoo messenger that works.
PS - If at first it doesn't work, change to back cam and then back. Or shake the device. Or do something. If you just give up after 2 seconds of trying, I highly recommend you get the ipad.

I read that Skype finally updated their Android app to allow video calls. We use skype on the netbook, and I look forward to being able to use it on the gtablet soon for video.
Has anyone tried the new release of Skype yet?
At this point in time its only for gingerbread and is available for only four devices.

Couldn't it be tricked to work by some build.prop edits like netflix app ?
So I tried this on my tab and I only get audio. Funny thing is that it doesn't work on my DROID at all. Cool think is that the website works fine via standard browser. Watching mib over wifi right now in 480p

Btw if anyone wants the app to mess around with it let me know and ill throw it up.

droxid,
Could you upload the apk for it.
So this is the app that I got off the market and sideloaded on my tab.

My issue is that I get audio but no video. Let me know what you guys get.
On a side note....video through browser works flawlessly.
audio works but picture doesn't.
Has anyone had any luck with this?
Works fine in just the browser.
There is a new version showing up in the market for Honeycomb tablets.... but it won't allow me to download it. Says it's a "developer test".
I read an article that it's now available for the Asus Transformer. Hmmmmm. Wonder where.
Also, it's advertised as coming with the new Sony tablets.
Hello All,
Has anyone gotten Hulu to work on Honeycomb? If so, which modded version of Flash did you use? What browser and settings?
I am currenly using Flashback ROM Alpha 5.5 (Android 3.0.1).
Does anyone have information on when Netflix will be available for
Honeycomb?
Thanks,
Paul
I have not tried it yet but netflix updated today to support a tegra 2 hc Lenovo tablet.
try it and let us know.
Do you know where I can find the app (.apk) to try this? It's not in the Market yet.

no sorry I do not
I installed the Modified Netflix app where the device check is disabled.
I am able to see Available movies, My Queue etc properly.
When I try to watch a video, I receive the following error:
Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit Netflix.com (1005).
How about Crackle? I have the app on my G Tablet and it keeps saying it has been disconnected. What do I do?
Newest netflix update works on honeycomb gtab now

Edit: I can not confirm if this works, as the app says overloaded and will not fully load on my gtab running GtabComb b3.2
Edit 2: It works! The video quality isn't the greatest but it works. woot

Crackle works on my CM7. But no go on Flashback or Gtabcomb. With the Flash from the market on the HC ROMs, I get only audio and with the hacked flash the app starts to play the video and then backs out, just like it did initially when the Netflix app came out.
I will try the .apk and let you know what I find out...thx
I am running gtabcom 3.2, puffin browser, and flash 10.3 from the market. It works great on hulu, not sure on nextflick.
Netflix Works on Flashback Honeycomb ROM Alpha 5.5!!
The video is a little blocky when watching the first 10 - 15 seconds. After the video caches a little, video quality is quite acceptable.
Here is the link to the .apk: http://www.multiupload.com/XTEWL8CLCZ
Awesome!!!
Can't get hulu videos to go full screen, but at least its working. Thanks for the info.
Gtabcomb 3.3 runs the market netflix app perfectly.

if you do a search in the forum I think someone posted the netflix apk.
Hulu and Netflix
Don't have any experience with Netflix, but Puffin browser with Flash from the market will play Hulu videos. But Hulu videos are choppy for me. My 2cents worth.
It works!
I confirmed this app works on vtab GE edition. Thanks a bunch for the link from droidlife!
DICE player for Android plays videos fine, after ICS, but there is no menu button anymore. No way to turn on/off subtitles, or choose subtitle files. Also, there seems to be no way to remove the bottom status bar while playing a video. Has anyone been able to find work-arounds?
This sucks.
Send a mail to the developer so he knows what he need to work on. Hopes its a easy fix for him. Diceplayer have been the best player just because of its many and easy settings when it comes to subtitle and more.
Does anyone find a workaround or it is up to the man behind Diceplayer that needs to fix it.
Start to miss HC more and more.

There's no need to panic, keep in mind all these apps were wrote for either gingerbread/honeycomb.
ICS has just been released (this is the second device)
for apps as popular as the dice player, I'm sure they'll be writing a version (or altering the old one) to play nicely with the new OS, just gotta be patient.
Yeah I know. Everything just need some time.

The settings are only viewable if you open the DICE player app by itself (i.e., not from a file manager). As far as I can tell, those settings are not doing anything.I changed the font size, and it has no effect when I actually play a file.

Yeah, I know I can find the settings inside the application.
I talk about the menu/options key that you can access when you are playing a video. And the subtitle size can't be changed. Aside that the video playback works great as usual.
Have mail the developer and told him about the "problem".. So know we just wait.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
just a heads up
this is not specific to dice player.
about 40% of my apps no longer have menu buttons.
there is no alternative that I know of.
they just are not compatible with ICS
ICS is totally sucks. Did live up the all the hypes. I wish I never updated my to ICS. HC was working great for me. After updating to ICS, all kinds of issues...screen flickering very few minutes, some apps totally don't work anymore.....
ICS Feels more like a phone OS. HC felt more for tablets.
Now with ICS there no need for tablets specific apps because the phone app should work. This means that we won't see any apps that take advantage of tablets bigger screen. I still think it would been better if we got one OS för tablets and one for phone. Now we with tablet just will get phone apps because that's the idea with ICS that phone and tablet are the same.
Back to Diceplayer. Just received a mail from the developer and got a test version. Now we have menu button and the subtitle size can now be changed.
The status bar still shows. But that should be a easy fix. He don't have a ICS tablet so it's hard for him to test how it works. But now when he now about it I sure he can work something out.
Really hope he gets a paid version up on market soon, so he will get some $$$
We need to remember that ICS only been out for 1 month. And only runs on 2 device. Remember how long it took for HC to get good support. I am sure that if we just give the developers of apps time to fix and update there apps to support ICS it will become better.

Im confused. I just used diceplayer on ICS and it worked just as before?
Same issue for me.
I tried MoboPlayer and Rockplayer and both work, but don't have sound for some reason. However, at least Rockplayer plays in hardware mode for me now.
BSPlayer lite seems absolutely fine.

When playing a movie tap the screen and look top right, there should be a menu button there. Now white ICS that is gone. But he is working to fix it asap.
The app works as before just that the menu button is gone and that the status bar don't go black

Oooh ok now im up to speed, thanks.
I can still select audio/subs when it first starts the video, so its still very usable imho.
Just give it some time I suppose, same as with all other now borked apps.

The status bar still shows in BS Player lite.
Got a other test version from the developer of diceplayer. In this everything works like in HC. Can access menu when playing video and the Android status bar goes black as it should.
Haven't heard anything from the developer when he planning to update the app on Android Market. But sure it won't take long.

Have sent an e-mail to the author - the subtitle font size doesn't work under ICS. Font family, color works as expected though.
Has anyone been able to video call on Skype? I just tried it and it wouldn't work.
I have the option checked in settings. I tried clearing the data and cache. I even tried a reinstall after a restart.
Any time I try video, it tries to start up then just goes back to a regular call.

Worked for me. I called my friend's ipod touch with skype.
No issues here as well. Used it several times.

All you guys had to do was enable it in settings?
Just used it myself without any problems ... Don't remember any settings I made, it was pretty much just default after install
Idk. I tried everything short of doing a factory reset. It works until the other person answers.
Autobots, roll out! Sent from my Transformer Prime!
did you make sure to go into settings to enable it? go in there and check it off. prime is not a supported device but if you click video chat in settings, it will work. plus they just updated so it might work even better now.
If you read my OP, you would see that I do have the option checked.
As it turns out, it won't work at all with one person and it acts funky (upside down and at a 45 degree angle) with another until I go to the notification area and hit the video call notification.
although skype works fine,
ive had people on the other end complain that my camera keeps focusing in and out.
so sometimes they see me clearly, sometimes not .
anyone else faced this ?
I installed it and change nothing on the settings. It work right off the bat.

Skype works fine on prime. Just make sure you go into settings to enable video calling. As I believe prime isn't an officially supported device. But pressing THST option will enable video calling and it'll work.
Tango, Fring, & Oovoo video calling also works on prime.
I was able to make Skype video calls and use Google Hangouts, but the sound from my mic is really poor. Sounds a little like a mouth full of cotton. I was hoping to use my Bluetooth headset (Sony MW600, A2DP) , but could not find a way to get it to use the mic.
I haven't seen other comments about mic quality, do I have a hardware issue?
