Well it'd be easy to see where the traffic is coming from or going to (just have a traffic sniffer sniff the traffic coming from the iPad). But it's likely Netflix has some authentication on the iPad app otherwise anyone could just spoof an iPad browser-agent and get access.

The thread "Netflix on N900?" with eleven posts has been merged into this thread.

Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?

Does any know how the Blockbuster on demand app work?

http://www.blockbuster.com/htc

Unfortunately, it is probably a Java app, so I doubt that we will have it available or ported to the N900. However, Nokia and Intel should work with Blockbuster to ensure that there is a way for us to get Blockbuster movies in Meego!

Edit: Ah, I just realized that the HTC is a Windows Mobile phone. That means this app is probably also using silverlight. (Those Microsoft guys are quick to stamp out possible defectors.) However, I noticed that they have some movies compatible with the Archos 5 tablet. Does Archos produce a Windows based tablet besides their Linux based ones?

Petitions weren't meant for this sort of thing. Who do you people think you are to just assume you can volunteer someone else's time and money towards developing an application?

I have a PC at home running all the time. If I use RDesktop to connect to it I can watch Netflix on my N900 screen, at a framerate of 0.1/s over 3G.

So, is there a way to severely cut the resolution that RDesktop uses, to boost the framerate?

Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?

Ok, when I get home from work, I will try this:

and see if I can use it as an input for some of these other streaming programs like orb or knots and see what kind of netflix performance i can get. assuming that this will capture video and not just give a black box.

Were you able to get those codecs to install somehow, they wouldn't work on an ARMEL device like the N900 as the codecs were compiled for x86. But that's okay because Moonlight doesn't support DRM, so Netflix won't stream anything to you anyway.

You have captured the real reason for asking NetFlix to release the Linux package - DRM. It is a sad fact that as long as there are people trying to make money from their intellectual property there are people who are going to attempt to not pay for it. So DRM makes it possible to provide the milk without giving away the cow. No doubt a streaming application provided by Netflix would preserve the difficulty in mis-appropriating the content.

I've been a subscriber to Netflix since they had 7800 titles in their catalogue. I would really enjoy being able to watch a short or cartoon on the N900 to fill in idle moments when I am tired of playing Angry Birds. I would like to see that application come from them.
