Through a lot of searching, trial and error, I finally got Netflix working on my Droid original version. I installed the netflix apk with device checking disabled (you can find it on this forum) and then made just 2 changes to my build.prop file. I set ro.product.model=Droid
and
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola.
Success!!! So, wondering if I could do the same on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab. Installed the apk, changed the build.prop file and gave it a go.
Almost Success!!! The streaming actually works. I have tried all the other methods and never got the movie to stream. With this one it does.....problem is that it is running way to fast. The audio sounds like it must be 10 times faster than normal.
Another step.....sooner or later I'll find the secret.
If you used the version of the Neflix apk with the device check disabled you shouldn't have had to modify your build prop at all.
I installed it on my Droid X and it ran beautifully without any mods at all.
The device check only gets you as far as allowing the Netflix app to actually load completely. There is further wizardry involved to actually get streaming to occur. I can attest to the fact that I have tried at least 8 modifications of the build.prop file, with the only one allowing streaming to occur being the one that matches my Droid. Honest to goodness and cross my heart.
With disregard for the Netflix apk entirely, does Netflix allow streaming of their media directly from their website? Another words can you simply login to your web based account & access the media there?
I've never used Netflix & have no plans to join, but I figured if I could get the web version of Crackle to work when the Crackle.apk didn't then the same might hold true for Netflix. Of course it doesn't resolve the current problem but at the very least allows one to enjoy streaming until the issue is fixed.

Finally got a movie to stream using your settings. Thanks! Same result though, sound is way too fast. After reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-954843.html
Thought about changing ro.board.platform= from tegra to whatever it is for the Droid. Do you know what is listed in the build.prop? Anyway thought it might be worth a try.
Im seeing the sped up video and sound as well here. Using the pre-packaged netflix apk on CM7 nightly 85.
maybe it's just me but when I went into the market today it said that there were updates available for netflix. I downloaded them and now when I run netflix it takes me to the "login" page instead of saying this device is not compatible.

They released an official update in the Market that doesn't do the device check. I don't know if that means it's wide open now for all android devices or not though for folks that have a Netflix account.

My netflix running on CM7 about 2 days ago was working and now its not apparently because there is a new Netflix Update on the market.
Is there a reason why I can't search the Official Netflix App on the market using my GTAB? My build.prop is already modified to Nexus S. Maybe someone can post the Netflix APK since it is probably detecting my device as not supported.
Same here, using the new app, starts loading, flashes briefly, then back to the queue. Just installed flash 10.3 ,still no go.

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens.

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.
Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.
Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.

Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).
Now that this is out...will this be able to work for the Eris, or no cause we have arm6?
I got it to load and start streaming but no sound or audio and the time stayed the same. Restarts after a bit. Hadn't tried changing the build.prop yet though. No pc around. Some folks say it works on original Droid though.

Netflix on the Eris
Here's an interesting one. I tried to download the apk to my Coby 7015 tablet. It immediately downloaded the apk to my Eris. Go figure.
Installed fine and loads up. When I start a video, I get a dark screen with the "pause - fast forward" control bar at the bottom then it goes back to the netflix home screen. No audio. No video.
Logcat shows: D/TAG ( 3163): Not Android 3.x+ with drm.play.
I'm in the same boat on Gingerbread. Black screen with controls and then it eventually resets to home screen.
I downloaded the apk off of google, it installed fine and it brings everything up, but when i try to play something all i get is a message saying "the netflix service is not available on your device. please check netflix.com/netflixreadydevices for info regarding support for your device"

so far, the app runs, and it looks as if its going to start streaming, but i just get a black screen with the pause botton. Idk if wifi will work ill try it when I get some, its on 3g now.

but do u think for the eris it will come and still have the support being as its an old model?
The Eris will never have official support from Netflix. Basically, there's a set of DRM libs baked into the officially supported phones. These hacks are attempting to trick the app into thinking the phone is a supported phone with supported DRM libs. However, it's not working on the Eris even with the build.prop mods. I'd like to see a logcat of the problem, but I really believe it has to do with the DRM libs not being satisfied and possibly crashing media libs like most older devices.
I'm waiting for somebody to just package a fake build.prop and DRM spoof into a modified Netflix app. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know what the Netflix servers check the app for. MD5 and DRM version?
I can't even get the apk to install. I've downloaded it, but I get no option to install it from astro or from the downloads menu on the browser. How do you install this damn thing? I even downloaded app installer, but it doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid apk.
Works fine for me. The only thing is that the app itself is massive compared to all the other ones I have. Due to the fact that it sucks down a lot of memory and power, I think I'll be fine with the Netflix app on my iPod/iPad/Xbox/laptop/whathaveyou

Many thanks to Dizzy's IMEI fix!!!
Great program to get an IMEI number on our NC and allow apps like HBO Go to work.
Great thread (Dizzy's) on this in the Dev forum. It was a little intimidating for this rookie but I figured what the worse that could happen. Took me two tries (cause I had an old Java version) but now I have HBO working, more comfort & knowledge about the NC with ADB, etc.
This forum is fantastic!!!! I knew if I got in trouble there would be help on this forum. Thanks for all you guru's out there who have made this possble.
You're lucky...I can't seem to get it working for the life of me. I altered the framework file using the latest IMEI generator from Dizzy and that worked fine but when I run HBOgo, all I get is the spinning cursor and then an error telling me that "some videos are not available at this time" or something.
I've updated to the latest CM7 release candidate over the weekend hoping that would solve it but nope.
Perhaps my kernel or flash version need updating? I really don't know what the problem is...everything else on the Nook works perfectly.

Have you downloaded the LCD Resolution app? I read a thread here somewhere that said to get that app, then change the density to 160 and check the box that says to do it every time you boot. This makes your market app work a lot better. I was able to get HBO Go from the market after doing this. If it doesn't work for you, I'll post the apk.
I upgraded from my nexus 5 recently and put hulu + back on this device like I've done for years now. Whenever I try to play a video with the service, it plays the opening ad(s), gets to the point where the video I requested should play and nothing happens. Looking carefully, the 10 second rewind button just flashes on and off but the video never plays. I've done Google searches all morning and all I found is a Facebook page showing that this is a known bug but no one has offered a fix. I've uninstalled, cleared data, used the older version from Dec but no dice. I already emailed Hulu like 3 days ago and no response. I'm running stock but decryption is off. Any ideas?

If you use a root explorer, or adb you can mount /system rw
Then delete vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Reboot and DRM will work again.
I was able to do this using the file explorer in TWRP.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. This fixed it for me. Does the OS recreate the file when the first program needs it again? Why does this happen in the first place?

I honestly don't know. I assume it's a file having to do with DRM. That's why it allows you to play ads and not the DRM-protected shows. The original post I referenced does not go into too much details about what it does and why it wasn't working. Since I have recent nandroid backups of my ROM, I figured I'd give it a shot. Thankfully it worked without any issues (so far, at least).
