[Q]Netflix playing in fast forward - Nook Color General

Anyone got any ideas on this? I can't find much info about this glitch. Youtube plays fine but Netflix just plays in fast forward.

Read around. Have to change your build.prop file.

Changing the build.prop file did nothing. It still works the same way. Everything plays in double time. It's rather amusing for a few seconds and then extremely annoying. Anyone have any other ideas?
Solved! Changed the build prop from Samsung to HTC. Works great now.

Tried this with no luck. Still chipmunks! Market says it will work with NC

you need to reboot your system after making that change. Assuming you are running a .32 kernel, the build.prop change WILL work.

I am running [Kernel][Eclair][Froyo][CM7] Dalingrin's OC kernel [6/09/11].rebooted, reinstalled still not working.

Make sure that the changes are actually saving. This video (not mine) was pretty helpful.

Use
Vision for model
HTC for manufacturer
Works for me every time.

I have noticed this with my nook color as well. The HTC Vision fix didn't help. EDIT - got it working. Would changing the device type adjust the resolution at all?

Not at all. That is set elsewhere. Regardless of what your device think's its model is (HTC vision or Nook), it knows its resolution is 1024x600. There is no database relating specific model strings to specific screen resolutions.

How did you get it to work? I tried and could not get it to work. I'm wondering if I'm taking some of this too literally. I used Root Explorer and changed to this:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
Should I remove the "HTC <space>" that is in front of Vision on the ro.product.model line and leave it simply as:
ro.product.model=Vision
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

zoomy942,
Thanks for the link. I had already downloaded it and was migrating it over to my device when you replied. I tried it and get an error notification when I try to install it. I even tried using Astro and AndroZip to locate and install it since the standard installation app didn't do it. I was able to do it with other apps, but am running into a snag.
The only issue I'm suffering is that Netflix, while it playing audio/video, sounds like The Chipmunks on crack by playing at 2x-3x speed instead of standard. Any ideas on these questions.
-Steve

hi again. what error are you getting? That will help us get to the bottom of your troubles.
PZ

It's not even installing. There's no install prompt like in most sideloaded apks. I don't get it. My friend got it to work on his Nook Color, but I'm stumped. I hhave wiped the cache and then uninstalled Netflix, then sideloaded the version on my Droid 2 running Liberty 2.0 and it even updated from the market. Each time I try it I get the 2x-3x speed issue. I will log on from my laptop and try to copy the exact error I get later.
Again, thanks for your help.

Look up how to install APKs via Astro File Manager. Once you have that set up, you can easily install APKs without dealing with adb.

I didn't see one posted in the Captivate forum. ANd the reason why I posted it here is because I think the Evo users tweaked it for their phones. It's working for them.
I think we might have to tweak it as well.

So? According to Netflix this should not work on any device with a Hummingbird processor regardless of what ROM it is running. The only aspect of "working" that anyone cares about is streaming an actual movie. Anything else is just more FAIL.

New CNN App, others, not showing

I am getting tired of some of the quality apps not showing up in my Nook Market. I am using CM7.
eBay, Gowalla, Amazon, now CNN (and a few others) do not show up. I have to Bluetooth them over from my phone to get them installed (and even then it's a pain when they have an update).
Anyhow, will this ever be fixed? Can the dev's somehow fool the market into beleiving that the Nook meets all of the requirements so that all of the basic missing apps show up?
Just curious if there is ANY hope in the future on this....
I believe i see the problem. I went onto the web market, and looked at the permissions, and i think it all comes down to them requiring this:
"# Hardware controls:
take pictures and videos"
Somehow, you would have to make the nook tell the market that it can take pictures/video, which should then make it compatible. I don't know how easy this is though, so i will leave it to a dev..

There are 5 or 6 apps I use on my Droid (1) that I cannot locate in the market on my NC because of this camera permission. VERY FRUSTRATING! I'm sure the devs will create a workaround for this eventually (i hope!)...
I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Please. I would really appreciate it very much.

Well, yeah it'd be nice if they could just disable the camera feature. Apps crash if you force 'em and they try to use the camera, so caveat emptor

I didnt try the CNN one yet (I tried it on my phone and it was ok, but nothing like the HC on the Xoom version) but I got Amazon on my nook with Cm7 without any problem, then loaded all my apps that I had from my phone.
I loaded it by going to Amazon.com and loggin in, then it loaded to my device pretty easy (maybe one more step, but easy).
Battery on Nightly 40 was not good, i left it at 64% last night and when got home from work it was 8%. Waiting for the recharge now and then will load #41 and see if anything is better. Sorry for the long Ramble on the amazon question.

The eBay, Amazon, and Gowalla apps are all on the amazon market, have to tryed to download from there? I am without my personal computer for a few more weeks or else I would look into the problem for you, it should be a simple code change to get it to work on CM7.
Here's the apk for CNN that works on the NC.

Could attempt it on a test build on CM7, works there from what it looks like.
Just wanted to chime in here on the subject.
Did some searching today and it lead me to the threat linked above, downloaded and flashed through rom manager. First boot took a bit longer than it usually does, thought I got stuck in a boot loop. However, I can confirm this works on the lates pre-alpha cm build!
I had to create another google account to test it out, but low and behold it actually works!
I didn't see any other posts in the thunderbolt forum acknowledging this so I thought I would let you all know.
A family member of mine has a stock tbolt and I got the latest BAMF GB Tom on mine. She texted me today and by her info in the text I had the green video camera. I hit it, it called her and I could see and hear her. She doesn't live in a 4g area nor hooked up to wifi at the moment, but for whatever reason, like I said I could see her and hear just fine. So looks like it might work from 2.2 to 2.3 with better circumstances. Hopes this helps.

I finally got gtalk video and audio working for two way calls on gingerbread
The solution has been out, but I guess I just didn't do a good job of googling. Flash this Google Package File in recovery after wiping cache and davlik.
You can also just read the thread where I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793. The same file is listed under "to install" step#2, Alternate3.
After installing this, my Gmail app was missing so I installed it from the market. I had to install the thing twice before it finally worked b/c it force closed on me with the first install.
I haven't tested the calls on wifi yet, but it was clear on 3g. Only gripe I have is that the camera view is rotated.

I am having the same issue, Hulu plus says the device is not supported. I found a different flash.apk from another forum that said it would get hulu to work, but no dice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
it probably doesnt detect CM7 as being a thunderbolt. sorta like we had to trick the netflix app also. it runs on mine running BAMF sense 3.0 RC5 but force closes. I am thinking some hack will be needed to run netflix and hulu+ both.

Yeah hopefully someone can figure it out so we can rock some Hulu!
Its because we are blocking ad and modifying the hosts file.
you need to have adfree installed and hit revert to repair the hosts file.
