[Q] play DMR movies through HDMI out. - Verizon Droid Charge

so the Charge comes with the free $25 media hub credit so i bought some movies. Bought the HDMI cable to play the movies on my samsung tv. when i play the movies the video keeps playing on my phone but, my tv says, "HDMI blocked during protected content playback." it only shows the message on the tv and not the phone. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

similar issue when the droid x came out, you can play your own content and even avi but you cant play DRM content. i think droid x had an app that got around this restriction but it required root.

sounds good. if anyone could find that app and/or find me a way around it that would be great. when i did some searching i found similar problems but i didn't find any good solutions. thanks for your help everyone.

It's a copyright thing.

No, it's a stupid thing How can playing back something you own and paid for on a tv be illegal?

If it is any help the file extension is ".pyv".

If you have any movies converted from DVD they play fine. So far the only movie I could not get to display through the HDMI out was the movie I purchased from the Media Hub.. Thankfully I used my credit and not my real money. I usually rip my DVDs to my comp so that I can have backups when my discs gets damaged and those play just fine through the HDMI output.

Same reason as if I buy cod for the xbox I can't demand the ps3 version free

Mediahub sucks. I rented a movie and the first phone was a dud, it wouldn't play any video. I took it back and the 2nd phone rocks. Went to play the movie (I still had 25 days to view it) and it still wouldn't play. I contacted Mediahub and the guy said it was because their license to use that movie had expired. They are refunding the money, but I lost the verizon number I was supposed to call. Oh well, it wan't my money, and when I took the other phone back they gave me another $25 card. So I ended up coming out ahead anyways.

that still doesnt give a way to bypass the hdmi blocked.. if there is one.. i'd like to have it just to play what is mine , bought n paid for ..
but if theres no way then i guess i need to dl to cpu. convert and then place back on sd card/video or etc etc

What an odd and old bump, but yeah, if you legally bought it on MediaHub, may as well download it on your PC and place it on SD card and enjoy. I hate DRM, it only screws the paying customer, not the thief.

problem is that there is not a program that can convert or play pyv files on anywhere except for Samsung Media Hub.
I did read from someone that had Gummy Charge ROM for the Charge that he was able to bypass this block (same block exits for blockbuster, netflix, and NFL app). however, it works just fine on crackle, the watchESPN app, and youtube.
so clearly, it is something within the app itself, and I'm not sure if the gummy team was able to bypass (whether it be intentional or by accident) via build.prop edits or whatnot.
I would really like to know though...

Looks like this site just started up. They only have 9 tv episodes so far to watch. The movie section ends up taking you to another site where you have to sign up to see them, plus it only looks like a free trial for the movies, not sure, didnt want to take the time. I doubt this would work on HDMI since it is browser based using flash. I would say the site has potential if they can get some more content going.

Are you talking about iphonemoviez or some other site? From what I can tell the only reason that site plays thru HDMI is because it loads the movie into the HTC streaming video player which has HDMI out support. If anyone else know of sites that can stream using the HTC steaming video player that would be great knowledge to have...
Thanks for sharing, I have hulu on the phone but you can never have enough..
anyone filled out the credit card section thought?
I don't get it. It just looks like a bunch of links to pirated videos on megavideo. Nothing special really. There are a million questionable video hosts like that and with a Flash enabled browser you should be able to watch any of them.

It's located in what looks like /movie/ on your SDCARD.
It's in a .pyv format, which is probably why you can't watch it or see it on your TV.
You can look for a .PYV converter on the internet, but on a quick google search I saw nothing.
Good luck.
Anyone have a download for it? I got my SGS4G refurbished and it wasn't on there correctly. Actually it wasn't even on there at all!

Sorry can't post any movies on here. It's against forum rules even though it was originally on the phone. You'll have to get it from someone who has the phone or go to the store and get it there. I was in the same boat. Luckily my cousin has the same phone. So now I have my whole sd card backed up to my external drive.
Lol what? I didnt want the movie to be posted here but I am within legal means but whatever.

[Q] Samsung Media Hub

does anyone have the stock Samsung Media hub apk for the infuse. I am running refuse and he chose to take it off. i still have my 25 credit and saw a couple movies on there i wanted.
Here you go.
This shows as a tmo apk not the infuse...
This shows as a tmo apk not the infuse...
Sorry for the double post
Here is the apk, pulled from the infuse. There is also a mediahub folder in /data/data. But I can't figure out how to upload a folder, but if you need it then I can put it up somewhere else and link you to it.
ok so i installed this media hub but when i run it i asks me to update and by clicking yes it takes me to market but it cant find media hub on market. So i ran it again and upon cancelling the app will shutdown. I have 25 credits still, whiich i wanna use but im using refuse so I cant, any help please.
I have exact same problem. I hope somebody has a solution.
Here is my already updated version i hope it helps link removed
Sorry that was the stock one this is the updated version
if none of these work simply go wipe and load infuse or stock, use titanium and backup the mediahub app. Install refuse and restore the app. That's all I have been doing. Hope this helps
That works! Thanks a lot!

Now when I purchase while in Canada, it won't allow me. Is there any fix for this?

Quick questions.
1. How long does it take to download?
2. Are they stored on SD card?
3. What type of file & is it encrypted? (can we just copy and paste to our laptops and it will work?)
4. Since there is people getting the whole ROM scene going, if we flash a ROM do we loose the file and cant download or can we just like re-download it again?

They are stored on sd and you can just copy them over and sign in again. Like I said earlier it just needs hdmi support.

I purchased "Unknown" but it sucks that I can't watch it through my damn TV! I know one of these developers is going to figure out some sort of work around.
Bought the directors cut of Donnie Darko, and accidentally bought Order of the Phoenix. Kind of wish they had a confirm screen before actually buying it so I could have opted out

I just started using it (US). It seems pretty cool.
Android and iPhone apps are now up in the respective markets.
I used a proxy and signed up. But dont see the point, since the free account only lets you sync music from your PC. To listen to the streaming service, you need the 10 dollar per month package.

Well here in sweden i'm been using this service for over a year. And it is (by far)the best i've ever used. Sure they don't have every single artist, but there is so many I don't really feel the need for more.

After all, $ 10 is too high a price. Available only 15 million songs. You can listen anywhere, anytime and can listen many different devices (mobile, pc etc.) I would rather buy the $ 10 album containing 12 tracks... No. no no .. I should have to think first what to say.
American network operators the pricing and quality is ****ed up. But many believe it is a lesser evil than $ 10 per month.

Known bug in Spotify on Honeycomb. Solution is easy but harsh: never make playlists offline available.
As long as you stream everything - you're okay. If you make a playlist offline available, it'll sync the first time and after that it'll keep saying it's disconnected.
And it's definitely worth the 10 bucks, I've been paying it for months and months (in Europe) and it saved me a ****load of money or time. If I had to buy all the music I've listened from Spotify, I'd had to sell my TF to pay the bills. Maybe even twice...
If your musictaste is pretty "conservative", not always looking for new stuff and getting addicted to it - it might indeed not be worth the money.
It's totaly worth it to have a paid subscription, i pay for premium
I use spotify all the time (at home, party's, cell phone etc)
The majority of the music i listen to is on spotify and i don't listen to comecial radio music

I still can't get it work. Every time I choose a song, I get an info bar with no info and an OK box to click. It reads my TF on my network, but it won't stream any music. I had no online playlists (I deleted everything just to make sure).
