Original Iphone as netflix player for tv

[sthax9]

I'd like to be able to use my old original iphone as a netflix player for my tv using the tv out cable I already have, wondering what the best was to make this happen is. By player I mean using the streaming service to play videos on my tv. Jailbreak?

any help is greatly appreciated.

You'd need the Apple Component or Composite out cable to connect your iPhone to the TV. And because the Netflix app doesn't allow video out on the 3Gs or older, you'll have to jailbreak it and install TVout2. It doesn't look any worse than a DVD, as long as your connection is good.

TVout2 sounds like what i have been looking for. I'll let you all know what the quality looks like.

I think it works best when its in the video mode. But make sure you try all three modes to make sure.

well tvout2 works like a charm but i can't download the Netflix app with 3.1.2 installed on my iphone

Try changing the version to 3.1.3 and the build to 7E18 in the SystemVersion.plist in /System/Library/CoreServices/ and restart your iPhone. That should allow it to be installed.

A few questions. Do you have iFile installed? Are you running Mac or Windows? Do you know how to SSH into your iPhone?

no, mac, no.

Download iFile from Cydia. It's a file browser. Use it to navigate to the location listed earlier. You can edit the plist file right in iFile. The editing can get squirrely, especially if you've never used it. Try and make a backup of the file (again using iFile) before editing it.

Download iFile from Cydia. Its a paid app, but it has a free trial. Launch it and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/ and open the SystemVersion.plist, when when its open, tap on the edit button and change the "3.1.2" to "3.1.3" and the "7D11" to "7E18". Tap save, then done, then restart your iPhone. Change only those things. Netflix should now install correctly.
