Netflix on prevail

[frowelishnu]

FINALLY got netflix to work on my samsung prevail!!!!!!!

When I saw Carben's message I figured I'd give it a shot - IT WORKED!

Check: xda-developers - View Single Post - [APP][Updated 6/21/11] Official Netflix for the procedure.

Edit: Just get the latest client from posts below. No need to edit build.prop.

Love this phone (and forum)!

yea netflix added support for a bunch of new phones, including samsung 2.2 phones..

told ya thats all it needed

So that method didn't work for me? I edited the build prop and installed the app, but every time I log it the app closes to my home screen. It doesn't say anything about force closing. I am low on space. Could that be it?

Nice. Now I need a netflix account. Or not.

Im impressed that it works, but a/v sync is pretty off. I dont need it on my phone that bad.

You can run the update when it tells you to update....since your build.prop is edited you can download the updated version through market.

heres the newest apk

After you update it and you login to netflix, i was able to revert my build.prop back to the original shabbymod one and it still works

When I choose to update the app it will open the market and bring up nexflix, but it does not have an update button. Does that mean I dis not edit the build prop right?

heres the newest apk for everyone
com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk

^netflix app worked for me too but unfortunately a/v was way off and lagged a lot . But it does play.

 

[maskedviperus]

Yep, this newest apk you dont have to edit the build.prop at all . However, there are issues with a/v sync being WAY OFF. Anyone with some knowledge wanna edit the apk and fix it somehow?

I found my issue!
The tutorial says to change

ro.product.board=machimachi

but the picture shows to change it to mahimahi. mahimahi worked perfectly!

I don't know if we had to change it at all. I put machimachi and it still worked.
I'll restore my old one and see what happens.

Edit: Yup, it worked. Sorry if I led you astray LAWETTE.

It works! Cool. They finally got it. it does have the old Godzilla sound sync problem but the picture looks good and very few video problems at all. Luckily, I got in on this thread late so I did not try to edit any files. It just works.

It is a biggun' though. I watched it for a while, backed it up with Titanium and then uninstalled it. I doubt I will watch too many movies this way, but it may come in handy in a pinch if I ever have a long wait somewhere and very bored.

Netflix sent me an email today asking if the picture quality was OK. LOL.

did anyone have issues with there camera? i did after doing the changes to the build.prop.

i get a camera error "cannot connect to camera"

Does anyone one have the stock build.prop settings?

Thanks in Advance
