[Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
There is an interesting petition for making Netflix available to Linux users:

Netflix on N900?
Since two days, Netflix can stream on the Apple's iPad; an ipod/iphone version is expected. Is there a chance for a Neflix streaming application for Meamo? Can this be developed by the community, or do we need to ask nicely Netflix to write it?
PS. I do realize this is a US specific problem mostly... |

Tough luck. They still don't have an application for Linux. I believed that Silverlight was the reason, but apparently that is not so, otherwise they wouldn't have it on the apple's devices. I guess then it remains to see if Silverlight will make its way to N900...

Re: Netflix on N900?
I would buy into netflix for that luxury

Re: Netflix on N900?
well netflix on my computer only requires silverlight and I had asked this question and there is some package similar to silverlight which will make netflix play the movies and shows. But I cannot find a link to that package you might have better luck searching for silverlight for N900, since N900 uses regular desktop kind web browser if we get a silverlight we would not need an app for it we can directly stream.

Does anyone know what format the movie files are?
Are they DRM-ed? |

Who knows, maybe Netflix is using HTML5 for the iPad *shrugs* |

Re: Netflix on N900?
I wonder if the iPad app is in fact using HTML5 if there's any chance the content can be accessed sans iPad. I'm gonna act like the chance > zero...

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

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

Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
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:
http://www.splitmedialabs.com/vh-vid...screen-capture 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. |

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. |
Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
Hello all .... when will there be a app for maemo?
Like this one: here >> I just wanna manage my queue's. |
Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
Err.... if all you want is to manage your queues, why don't you just use netflix.com?
|
Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
Yup, I've used my N900 to manage my queues.
Does anyone understand the Roku well enough to tell me whether it would allow me to broadcast video to my N900? The most current Roku says it makes video available anywhere in the area via wireless using the Wireless N protocol. |

today,
can we play netflix on nokia N900. I have netflix account and tv cable. it would be awsome to be able to play stream netflix. to my knowledge the current problem is silverlight not being supported for linux. Anybody knows otherwise willing to share experience? |
Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
Could some one explain to me how netflix is possible in Android without Silverlight, being installed in many unauthorized devices (like the nook color) but still is an impossible in the N900?
Any ideas? |

Re: [Maemo 5] Netflix on N900, anyone?
Via Nitdroid on the n900 is the only method I'm aware of (besides RDP or VNC to your desktop machine.)
