I tried playing a video and it stopped and i got the notification "DRM license required"

I got it from the regular market. And get the same DRM message. I guess Netflix decided to put the app out to us but didn't test it.

Re: Thunderbolt officially Supported by Netflix

I also get the DRM license required error when trying to play anything. Or after a few minutes it will kick back to the app's home screen. Is there something in the forthcoming Gingerbread update for the TB that the app is expecting and fails without it?

Edit: apparently the stock TB still lacks the drm needed for Netflix as mentioned here: http://androidforums.com/htc-thunderbolt/378504-netflix-now-market.html

Got the same here.

Wow, it's like they didn't even test it. Fails on my stock, mr2 Thunderbolt. Try to start movie, no messages, tries to start streaming, then goes back to my queue. Sucks. No matter on wifi or 4g. Sucks.
