new update/netflix now working

[dubge]

Well I got an update this morning and Netflix is now working on stock non rooted transformers. I have 3 in my household and it works on them all after the update. The Netflix app still does not show in the market so you will have to side load it to get it on your transformer.

Enjoy

Yeah you need to side load the latest version.
You can get it here.

[DEV] Netflix patch for Asus Transformer - xda-developers

Just get the NF 1.3 app, don't worry about the patch.

Can it be played in HD using the HDMI out? Someone mentioned that market movie rentals cannot, due to some licensing restriciton so this would be a pretty good advantage

I will be testing this in the evening when I get home from work. I do know that the market video rentals do not allow this. Audio works, just no video

At work now. You boys best not be messing with us...

Now to just get Skype video calls working on the TF and I'll have netflix and skype options on both the tablet and phone. Mu, ha, ha.

Mine is working too. I wonder if they'll be closing the "hole" later.

Why would they close the hole? Its an update by Asus to get NF working, this and ad hoc

Just got the update and a dock update at the same time. Going to try Netflix now.. It still not in market though. Replying to see how the dock typing is and seems like the lag is mostly gone now.

 

[VydorScope]

WOOT! Netflix works now. I used the apk of my Nexus one, and no XDA patch or anything.

 

[mknollman123]

Yeah buddy I now have no complaints left for the LTFD good on ya Asus!

 

[Suntan]

Good stuff here!

My internet connection died half way through the dock update and now my dock won't work at all, and when I check for additional firmware updates it tells me that there are no additional updates. Please help!:-[

I've been streaming Netflix all day long since this update.. I'm definately even happier with my TF.

yes, i just tried and and the videos play over HDMI, as for them being "HD" thats another issue, but they do play though. The video quality is still that same resolution that you get for phones, which is somewhat subpar on the transformer screen, and even more so on a large screen tv.

That might change when Netflix releases an official build for TF. The APK we are using comes from the phones.

Sorry for the newb question but I have a non-rooted transformer, how do I sideload the netflix app?

Could someone give me a link to the download?

Do I need to put the device in recovery mode (& how do I do that?)

Anything else?

thanks in advance, this will make my transformer even better!

See the link on the second post. It gives the link to the download that someone at XDA posted. Just download it. When it is done downloading, click on it in the lower right part of your screen (or find it in the download folder), and enjoy.
