Running Netflix on iMX6 Android Marshmallow

[brenolima]

I managed to integrate Netflix on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow BSP for the i.MX6DL, i.MX6Q and i.MX6QP. I posted the step by step procedure on the i.mxdev blog:

I have also published a video on YouTube showing my solution:

I'm open to suggestions and comments, please post your comments under this post.

Hi Breno,

I have successfully installed Android 6.0 on Imx6Dual board but when play video in Netflix, image and sound are lagging . Any possible reason?

Thank you

Hi danny.lu@healthstream.com.tw‌,

I believe the issue is related to AAC Plus Codec, could you please try the steps described in section "Adding AAC Plus Codec in the prebuilt image" of document below?

Hi Breno,

Yes, you're right. Now Netlfix works. Is there any license issue I should be aware of ?

Thank you

Hi Breno

Thank you, that explains why Audio is not working with the default images. Do you know the reason why the AAC codecs are not part of the demo images? Did you also measure the busload?

Hi Michael,

The AAC codecs are not part of the demo images because it has a different license, you can have more informations about the license on the "i.MX AndroidTM Extended Codec Release Notes" Android OS for i.MX Applications Processors|NXP. I didn't measure the busload, but would be nice to have this information.
