Netflix full hd - Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Guides, News, & Discussion

Netflix finally works in hd 1080 on Samsung tab s5e for me with the latest app. The tablet must have been add to the whitelist.

Nice. Do you get the "skip intro" button when watching? For some reason my tablet doesn't show those at all.

Silly question, but how do you know what resolution you are getting?

On Netflix search for test pattern. It will show the definition.

This device is not supported by application.
Netflix is up to date. It worked two month ago...

Hi this might be helpful
If you down load Quickshortcutmaker app from the app store then,
Type in 'video enhancer'
It will take you to a hidden video setting you can enable.

Yes, it is a silly question, IMO. But in one sense it is a VERY important one. With all of the "stay at home" orders, we have more an more people depending on streaming for entertainment. About the only thing to do. This is causing major bandwidth problems for the entire internet. Europe has gone so far as to ban 4k streaming from providers such as Netflix. So, if you can't even tell if Netflix is 4k, then why in the name of all that's holy, are people WASTING bandwidth in order to use something that makes so little difference!!!!!!!!! :crying:

It is only "the way of the world" for the me generation. I'm 80 yrs old and it certainly is not the way of the world I was raised in. I was a little kid during WWII and even our little pittance of an allowance went into buying stamps for our war bonds.

Got my tablet today but when i started the app it says update it but playstore says it is not compatible with my device.

[APP] Netflix from LG ROM Dump

http://www.androidcentral.com/leaked-lg-revolution-system-dump-has-netflix
I was able to login and browse/manage queue.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150 Modded apks. No need to edit build.prop. Worked on my NookColor.
Could be an interesting way to manage your que on the fly but until netflix fixes their standardization codec issues with android thats probably as far as we are going to get
It wouldn't let me watch anything. I got excited for a second. It said "sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (1005)" I wonder if anyone has any idea's on how to fix this.

How did you install it? I tried installing it through Root Explorer on rooted stock and got a parsing error. Froyo and above only maybe?
Edit: Installed w/out issue using Root Explorer on my DROID. I can't believe there's still no Netflix queue management other than from 3rd party apps. Although once the streaming gets the "go" button, it'll be a slick app. I was given the option to resume an instant movie I was just watching on my Tivo but it started loading then took my back to the instant queue page.
The streaming failure has nothing to do with codecs. Netflix has a DRM protection implemented on the app that currently only supports a very limited amount of hand selected processors and firmware. In order to enable streaming were going to have crack the DRM. *braces for a long night*

Same here. Boy does this make me happy though knowing were close to being able, I hope. Been waiting for this app for so long. Dying to see how long ths takes.
Update, it looks like if we can get the lib files for the apk that seem to be missing, you can create a work around with a modified app.

You don't need a dual core......you "need" a chip with baked in DRM.....or patience to wait for someone to break the DRM.

Hey, np. Been wanting netflix fot some time myself, so I keep up on the state of things.
Here's the whole story(as I understand it). Netflix wasn't allowed to put out anything for android or any linux, due to lack of integrated DRM. The new chips that are coming out have a DRM scheme baked in at the hardware level.
What this means for us...gonna have to wait for someone to create a method to lie to the app, telling it that the DRM is present. Also, there will need to be a software based replacement for the DRM module, for decoding the stream.
You would think they would give up on DRM. If they can make it, someone will break it.

I thought about that already, but it was from AndroidCentral.com and it was ripped from a LG ROM..... so its probably good.
Im guessing nothing ever came of this release? This wouldve been so great to have on my nook.

Technically the release worked, but Netflix killed it at their end, so no other devices could use it. Once they turn it back on.... who knows.

Netflix

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.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

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.

[APP] HBO GO with HDMI support!

Update: So apparently this has been cracked by HBOTroll1, all thanks to him. You can find his thread here. Unfortunately I have dumped my photon because of Motorola's failed promises. It was a great phone but I will never again by from this company. I also do not have HBO GO anymore because of this issue but I might get it again to try this apk. I am reposting a direct link to the apk here.
This has been confirmed to work on the Photon by others. Also if you have an MHL device to try this on that would be appreciated. I am not sure if MHL is a problem to begin with though...
Disclaimer: To my extremely limited knowledge reposting this does not violate any copyright laws, which is not my intention. My belief is that this is a lack of functionality in the program which has been fixed in this apk. If such is not the case, HBO please contact me so we can discuss this error in your program.
MinceMan said:
I just got HBO GO, I know Game of Thrones is f*****g awesome as **** *** *****!!!!
Anywhoo... I tried plugging the photon into my tv as the PS3 does not yet have an app and HBO GO refuses to play video with the HDMI plugged into it. Does anyone know any way to stop the app or the system of realizing that the signal is being sent out?
I would be willing to put in a lot of effort into getting this hack to work but I don't even know where to start. So any advice would rock!
RANT: I know they have a reason for disabling this but for realz I can just torrent their shows so when I'm paying I'm not going to try and rip off their stuff. I mean there's a reason that I'm paying!
RANT EXTENDED: I hate all of this DRM like bullsh!t that makes it more difficult to be a paying customer then a priate. I mean you can just go to isohunt or thepiratebay and search for game of thrones 720p. Then download the playstation media server and install the extra codecs and whatnot they recomend. This will let your computer transcode the video files so that the ps3 can output the video over your network. Wifi N can handle the video great and plug in a hundred foot Ethernet cable for $13 and get beautiful streaming with 5.1 surround sound.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any kind of workaround for this. I remember having the same issue. Think I tried running HBO from browser in Webtop mode but can't remember if it just didn't work or if it worked and the video was bad quality.
Probably better off downloading vid from the net and installing to view locally.
what we need is to get our hands on the earlier version of the app
I've heard people report it USED to work using a combination of the first release of the app and something called Xternal Display (which just mirrors the image on the screen.)
I know sprint t.v doesn't work either on HDMI out using stock mopho .

I can't believe you're brave enough to use isohunt and piratebay. Those are the two most well known trackers that get people busted.
Game of thrones is full of win, though! Can't wait till finale gets upped. I'm dying to watch it.

I'm guessing that it check the version number and would want you to update. Though if anyone has an older apk I would love to try this out!
I have version 1.3.1, I just installed version 1.7.1 and installed this version and it still plays fine, haven't tried hdmi out using version 1.3.1 yet. But I'll upload it tomorrow, I'm away from my computer right now
I got it working perfectly
I used splashtop on my Macbook which also works on PC to get it working everytime without fail. I have a video on youtube that shows me doing it but I am a newb so I can't post link. lol
sorry everybody, i thought the thread was dead but here is the hbogo 1.3.1 apk, just fyi it gives out the original error message saying that there is something wrong, not the new one stating the program doesn't allow hdmi out.

Onlive

Has anyone else been having low-graphics "problems" with the Onlive gaming service? I tried 2 games (Darksiders and Dirt 3) and both of them had really low quality image, especially the Dirt 3. Do you have any suggestions how to make the graphics better, or is there any way to do it? (connection speed shouldn't be a problem, have my transformer connected to a 100mb/s Wifi, so it's going the max it's wifi port enables)
I included some photos of my screen.
E: Original problem/post in the quotes (thanks for the help once again)
Hey,
I was looking at some transformer prime videos from youtube and saw this cool app called Onlive which I found useful for our tablet. Sadly I live in Finland where it cannot be downloaded for whatever reasons..
So my question is: could anyone give me the proper apk? Or tell me where I could download/buy it?
Thanks!

You should try contacting onlive. I have the same problem. On my xperia play, the quality is great.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA
I think it depends on the time of the day. I play onlive on my tf300t at work sometimes during lunch around noon and then on my break around 2:30 and it's a llittle choppy sometimes. BUt at least it still runs. Connection sucks at home sometimes. I know it is better on my PC though. But I notice after work if I go in the break room it's PERFECT. So it could be peak hours.
As long is it doesn't freeze or come up with the message about connection not strong enough. That killed me when I first tried playing it at home. I always had to pause it as soon as I sensed lag. Otherwise i'd die.
My lag senses were tingling.
Response that I got:
Good Day,
Thank you for the screen shot. We do use video compression to stream our games, so the quality will be different than playing a game locally.
I suggest keeping your network as clean as possible when accessing our App. Be sure that no other apps are running and no other devices are connected to the same wifi network, if possible.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you. Have a lovely day!
Best regards,

Yeah, doesn't make sense. I had some issues with the NE/NO game last night (I'm a Pats fan), very skippy and the audio would come and go so I'm glad I'm only out $20 bucks for the package. Watched it on my GFs Tformer Prime and had the same issues.
