That's right Netflix is working on the Streak's beautiful 5" screen. The following APK from XDA works :
http://forum.xda-dev...p;postcount=138

The videos stream, however there's a slight problem I'm hoping somebody here can help fix : All the videos play faster than 1x, that is - it looks and sounds like you're watching everything in fast forward mode (on a VCR, if any of you kids know what that is)

Steve, Fards? Help?

I changed those values but I'm still getting a playback rate that's too fast.

U reboot after the change?

[rockymtnbri]

Just edited my build.prop with those mods - crossing my fingers.

IT WORKS!!!!! I powered off my Streak and when I re-started it, I kicked off Netflix and the audio was the right speed.

@Kohawk : Could you please upload your build.prop file for me?

[Roperband]

Will this work on a stock rom?  And can you do it without messing with the ADB stuff?

If you've got root access then yes
Also you don't have to use ADB, you can use a file manager (with root permissions) like "root explorer" (paid) or "super manager" (free)

I have root explorer but I still couldn't get it to work.  I just make the changes and then just save and exit?

Backup the original (Copy / Paste with a different name )
Edit the file original
Reboot
Should work

It will only play for about one second before stopping the video.  I'm not sure why it's not working (I'm on 345).

Same here.  Acts like it's going to play, brings up the screen in landscape with the slider along the bottom, then immediately take me back.  Tried adjusting:
ro.product.model, brand and rebooting.  Even tried ro.product.name, device to no avail.  I'm on 351 rooted.

If it works on Steve's 1.9 that might be reason enough for me to move over.

Yeah, doesn't look like anyone on a stock Rom has it working yet.

I'll never know - yet another USA only app !!!

Here's a link to a Netflix build with the device-checker disabled:

It works fine on my DJ Steve 1.9 Streak.  I haven't tried it on a stock load.

Does not work with stock 2.2.2 tried the device checker disabled version and edited build prop, the app loads but when the video is about to stream it goes back to the listings.

Did you have to modify the build prop?  or just load the apk?  

Why would the edit change the video speed?

I loaded the first link from xda - but it plays back at chipmunk speed.   it loads and logins.

I am on 1.9 as well..
