which versions have you tried?
C&P
Turns out, the newest version of the app that will actually play a video is 3.0.65, but in that version and older ones the thumbnails of shows and movies will not load, so the app is only text until you start playing something. It's not a perfect solution but at least it works to play something. I'm not sure is every incompatible android device will work with 3.0.65, but maybe someone with a different device can pitch in.
