movies for skypad Can anyone help me find movies that I can download for my skypad? I thought it would play Amazon prime but it doesn't seem to work, at least not the Streaming video. I also read that Netflix will work with a 2.1.1 download, but I can't seem to get that to work either. I think it's a great little product for the price, but I'd really like to let my kids watch movies on it. movies for skypad Can anyone help me find movies that I can download for my skypad?

Nope. I e-mailed the company and they said that I could download a video to my computer and then transfer it. I haven't tried that, and I'm not sure how I would even do it. I was hoping that I could just stream directly to the Skypad.

Try mp4 movies, also AVI. I've got a few of each type downloaded to my skytex alpha and they both work great. Good luck.

To stream to a pad the video has to be coded to stream to a mobile device. Currently there are not a lot of sites that do that besides youtube and netflix. Netflix 1.2.2 will work, but now you need to download the version with the update check disabled because even though Netfliz continues to break support for every update they make, you now are forced to update, which breaks compatablility. Google the version with update disabled and you will find it.

You have several options for this, here are the two I know will work:- Get DVD ripping software for your PC or Mac, and rip some DVDs and transfer them manually to the pad. I use the MP4 format and they play fine on the Skypad Alpha (thought the battery life issue is a problem). Note, while the laws on this are fuzzy, it is generally accepted that you CAN make copies of DVDs you own for your personal use. - Go through the process of installing the Market on the Skypad and rent/buy them through the Android Market

I have tried repeatedly to download Netflix 1.2.2, both on the pad itself and on my PC. I've had no luck whatsoever. If Anyone can provide me with a website that would allow me to download this, I would be extremely grateful.

It's the stupid DRM copy protection garbage they've been adding recently (called "Flash Access"). That broke streaming for both the TouchPad and the Playbook as well as Linux for much of the content on Amazon (most shows and some movies so far, and growing). There's a relatively easy workaround for Linux, and the updated Flash player on Android should also work, but it's not so easy to fix on TouchPad or PlayBook. This is not a rumor, it has been confirmed by Amazon customer service. If you don't like the direction they are heading, feel free to let them know, or try contacting HP to push for an updated version with the Flash Access DRM module.

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

Just want to post to say I have been having the same problem, all of the other Panasonic apps work dine but Netflix did not. I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 as suggested above and it started working right away. How did you figure this out?

As far as I've been able to find out. You cannot get amazon movies using this player. I know there are quite a few movie apps including Netflix & Blockbuster and some others, but Amazon is definitley not one of them. Hope this helps.

You put A200 in the question, though this is on the A500 page. However, the answer is the same. At the current time, I can see now way of viewing your Amazon Prime Movies and TV on any android device, except for the Kindle Fire Tabs. Though I have not personally confirmed this, there is supposedly an iOS app capable of streaming Amazon instant content, so that may bode well for the eventual release of an Android version. Until then, I'd recommend either Netflix, or Vudu, or both! Vudu's movie selection is amazing, and prices aren't too bad, plus not monthly fee's. Netflix, on the other hand, has TV shows coming out the wazoo, and for $8 a month, I get more than my use out of it. Good luck!

These questions don't work that way. No one's monitoring them. These are questions for other users to answer from their experience with the product. That said, I suggest you get Amazon Prime so you can get everything in two days (plus it's now rivaling Netflix with all the included movies/TV you can watch for free).

I did not do anything other than set up the player to my wireless comcast internet stream. Then went to the Netflix app on the player and linked it to my Netflix account. I have a Bose Lifestyle system that shows what the audio stream is. Netflix has a limited amount of movies that are streamed in 5.1 and not all HD movies Netflix has are streamed in 5.1. Suprisingly Amazon video on demand has less titles but more are in 5.1 sound so it's dissappointing that this player does not stream Amazon in 5.1.

It's not that it does or doesn't work with Amazon Prime... it has nothing to do with that. IF you have Amazon Prine streaming on your Ipad, this will allow you to see it on your TV. All this does is put whatever you are seeing on your Ipad onto your TV screen.

Don't know about Netflix, never tried. But Amazon prime will not work unless you are using a kindle tablet or other Amazon instant video compatible devices like Xbox 360, PS3, Roku. Will tell you that this is really a piece of junk, horrible battery life and I have had to reset it several times because it stops working. For some reason Drop Box will not work on it either and I have that on everyone of my other mobile devices and computers. Good luck.

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

Sorry to split hairs, but the server issues are on Netflix's end. Netflix has had server issues since they upgraded the interface the first week of June (they've since stopped rolling it out to all users). It seems to only happen during prime viewing hours though. If you are having problems with services other than netflix and at odd hours I'd look for another problem, either with the roku box itself, your router, or your ISP. I haven't experienced problems with other services but I don't use Amazon on Demand. There may be a correlation between netflix and amazon as I read netflix migrated to Amazon's servers. Try some of the other channels to determine if it's a problem with anything else (nasa tv? pandora? etc). Netflix's engineers are struggling to find the correct content to display on their main screen without overloading the servers, it changes almost daily. I expect they'll get it resolved soon but it's been a bad couple weeks for them. For more information check rokulab's user forum: http://forums.rokulabs.com/viewforum.php?f=28

Sorry I don't have a NETFLIX account so I can't quite tell you if it works or not.. but I do know that all Netflix needs is a WiFi connection. What I can do tell you is that it streams all kind of videos all you to do is install adobe air and reader stream any video on the web.So not sure by what do people mean when they say it don't stream.

I signed up for the one month trial of Prime (and VOD) a few days ago without even looking at what devices supported it. I figured there was no way Amazon would not be on the best streaming device available. When I got home and powered up my Boxee Box I was in shock that there was no Amazon App. How is this even possible? With Netflix screwing over millions of customers why hasnt Amazon stepped up to the plate?

netflix has its own app and works great on the tablet. amazon prime however does not have its own app and will need to be viewed on a browser. you'll need Dolphin Browser and Adobe Flash installed and correctly configured. works fine on my tablet. here is a link on how to get it all set up: the-digital-reader.com/nates-reviews/stream-amazon-instant-videos-android-tablet/ if the adobe flash player link in that article doesn't work for whatever reason, you can download it here as well: downloadandroidfiles.org/Files/Apps%20%28APK%29/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk
