Is there any way that the .apk can be hacked or changed to allow playback on rooted devices? Or is it a DRM issue/cannot be done. This would be a huge +.
I'm gonna guess this is a straight DRM issue or simply cannot be done.

you guessed right.
If the previews work on your device do the movies?
The movies should work on your device if you are on Stock and have not gained superuser(root) . If you don't know what any of this is you should be fine.
I'm afraid I do know what that stuff is. But it looks like the movies would work. When does the error message come? I wouldn't ask but I never bought stuff directly from the market and I don't want to buy a movie I can't watch.

My bro wants to buy the captivate but wants to know if he will be able to play those silly games
when you say.. silly games.. do you mean farmville :"> ..
and there are no specified dates.. just guestimates and rumors.
September is all hopes.
Flash I'm not sure, I heard it's out in the app store but I don't have a captivate to know if it works ;o
yeah all those games they like to play...I am more like Stan in South park! lol
I assume flash is flash and it should work.

At the very least, you would have to use a web browser that is capable of switching the user agent to a desktop browser's so that facebook will properly serve up the desktop version of the site. Not sure on the rest though. Dolphin HD is a great browser that will let you switch user agents.

I can't find Flash on the app store as of yet.. I thought it was out though because I have seen some people with it listed in their appbrain lists
yes you will! they have a video of froyo on utube and the guy is playing Farmville! YAY
Yes it will work because it works on my iPad (yes my iPad has Flash 10.1 ported from android). The only thing is that if it requires keyboard input then you will need to use a bluetooth keyboard
Yes he can play his facebook flash games.
Flash for android works as well as flash on a desktop.
Theres a couple videos on youtube showing off flash on android and it works really well.
No. Farmville does not work. My n1 will not play it... atleast last time I tried ... I saw the YouTube video where he plays itbtoo, but it says content not supported ....
That was last month, may work now but I doubt it...

have you ever used netflix?
lots of TV shows, feature films, documentaries. Sometimes you're on the road and want to watch something (I don't have a laptop).
As to the OP, the only solution right now I believe is to use a streamer like playon found here: http://www.playon.tv/
you get a trial, just download the server, put in your credentials for netflix or any other service you use then download the player from the android market, have it connected via wifi to the PC running the server, find it, pair it then you're golden. You only need to have it on the same network the first time you connect to the server. Used this a few weeks ago in a completely different state on my wife's atrix and it worked wonderfully!
Future phones will likely have improved DRM capability but existing phones (like my captivate) will probably never get a true netflix app.
Playon is awesome though, I stream to my phone and my HTCP running XBMC (which also cannot get netflix normally!)
Lots of other stuff on there too like NHL gamecenter, Hulu, and various other digital media sources (including files on the PC running the server)
Last weekend i ripped a few movies and TV shows off blu-rays and threw them on an SD card so that i could watch them on my S4. Today i was browsing the web version of google play, when I noticed a selection of my ripped videos had shown up in the "My movies and TV" tab. On any device i can watch these videos as if i had purchased them from the Play store. I can find no reference to this feature anywhere. has anyone else encountered this or am i simply going crazy? If so how did it happen as i can't seem to get this to happen again.

I suppose but it freaked me out as it appears I could throw any media (for example a pirated TV show) on my SD card and it would be instantly legitimized into google play. This seems like it would be a huge deal yet i find no reference to it and it can't be a bug as it functions like a feature. It leaves me very confused. Especially since nobody seems to be aware of it's existence.

see.thats the problem.though it was a short period.but it ruined ur privacy.
so do report to google.
on my s5 when i played a video i had the small icon on the top of the player when i hit it i could stream it to my tv or xbox ect.
i read that The video player has been simplified too and the DLNA view is gone. You can still send video files to DLNA players or use screen mirroring.
how do you send the video to dlna players now ?
the only way i can find to do this is to open quick connect then select the files i want to play then stream them, less then ideal and slow at going through the multiple steps.
bUMP ... in the night ....
anyone at all please ///
The S6 isn't officially supported for screen casting yet. Expect to see see that icon return to the stock player then. I have been trying to play with chromecast screen casting and it is crashing constantly. Hopefully they update the chromecast app soon. As for DLNA I haven't seen an option For it in the stock software, grab bubbleupnp from the play and you can stream again.

Hi guys. On my old Galaxy S5 in the video player i was able to see and play movies directly from an external HDD connected to the router (nearby devices tab). Now on my new Galaxy S6 Edge i can't do that anymore. Someone knows how can i see and play movies form the external HDD connected to an Asus router? Thanks!

No that doesnt work. I confirm no dlna on s6 after 5.1.1 upgrade.
Looks its a strategy of samsung because note 4 doesnt have dlna as well (and didnget it long after launch).
But no one seems to care about here? Im pretty decieved , but now sony are making great phones. I will trade mine for z4 or 5 if i find the oppurtunity
Bye samsung

Note 4 doesnt yet have it and was launched sept 2014. No it was dropped on purpse by samsung. Sadly i didnt know that before i bought s6 . No review mentionned it because it strangely dsnt look important for most users i assume.
Download a 3rd party app like Skifta! It worked on an older phone. It's the best dlna app.

As fun as it is to be indirectly told I'm either A) wrong or B) lying, I promise you that this works on my S6 after the 5.1.1 upgrade. I use it all the time. Maybe it's carrier-specific? What carrier are you on? What video app are you using?
And when you say "That doesn't work" (tech support person's dream), what do you mean? Do you not see the option? Do you see the option, but no destination? Do you see the destination, but the content doesn't transfer?

Sorry for the misunderstand, I dont want to tell you are lying. The option exists but it doent work with windows media player on my pc (that is my only use of dlna since i have no connected tv ..) with the exact same configuration that used to work with my s4
Im under 5.1.1 / 920f / windows 10 / wmp
So could you tell if it works with your pc ?
Moreover samsung didnt mention its dlna support at launch (wich i thought they simply forgot such a basic feature ) neither announced it was back wih 5.1.1
Sorry again for any bad impression i left earlier.

Thanks, and no worries. My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
I think the problem stems from you asking about something different from the initial question. The initial question was how to send content from the phone to the TV, which is what I answered, and which does work, and which is, I believe, DLNA.
What you seem to be asking about is how to view content from your PC on your phone. I'll admit that I had a mighty struggle with that, even on the S4, so I have never tried it with the S6. If you got it working on the S4, you're already a step ahead of me. I never bothered with trying to do it on the S6, and if I want to view content on my phone, I just transfer it over either by hooking up a cable or by using FileDrop, although the latter is kind of slow.
Now I can be more precise about my problem. I can't share content between WMP under windows 10 and my S6 , thing that I did easily with my S4 with the same configuration.
I thought first that it was due to DLNA incompatibility since it was not present in the S6 launch. But now I tried on a smart TV and it works great. Still though I can't detect my phone with WMP and vice versa. I think that is DLNA as well so no reason it doesn't work.
If someone can do than it should come from my settings. Otherwise It's something samsung deleted.
Edit: third party DLNA apps work well.. so the problem is with samsung video app. What a shame they drop such options!
I want to root my beautiful Nebula Blue but I came to know that it will lead to losing the Widevine L1 certification. Can anyone confirm anything about this?
Also, is there any downside to rooting the phone? Thanks in advance.
It sucks rooting so far for me it does go from l1 to l3 for me anyways I can't stream YouTube Netflix or even get my paid apps from Google play and there's an off chance WiFi will not work

Yes.
This is completely untrue. Netflix doesn't play in 1080P. 480p works and YouTube 1080p and above still work. Mobile payments still work just fine. @seanbwoi
You lose the ability to stream anything over 480p unless you're on LIKE then you get full res. It's predicated on the app your trying to stream from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube are examples. It only affects the apps that are using DRM. YouTube does not use DRM So even on L3 you get full resolution. Netflix on mobile devices ONLY streams a max resolution is 720p anyway. Wifi has no barring on resolution to L1 or L3, only the source of the stream and the app needed.
So Google Pay is working fine with Magisk Hide?
I was specifically talking about my experience it hasn't been good for me yet trying to figure how to fix my issues with wifi and the streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube and maybe if I get YouTube and Netflix to work I would be good but at the same time not having access to the paid apps from Google play store that I have is frustrating a bit. I might even consider unrooting the l3 limitations are frustrating for me personally

Not sure what issues you have with YouTube? YouTube doesn't use DRM so no matter if you're L3 or L! you will get the full resolution no matter what device you have that is rooted. Once you are Rooted you can just use Magisk Hide from all the Google apps/services and your device will show certified in the play store.

Goggle Pay works perfectly and if you get a Galaxy watch Samsung Pay works flawlessly as well with Magisk Hide. At least it does with my Gear S3 Frontier.

No, otherwise it wouldn't matter much. The solution is yet to be found other than using modded or 3rd party Netflix apps
Cool OK, I dont use Netflix, was more just curious to see if a solution existed.

I don't have my new OP7P yet, but here is a modded apk for Netflix.

Netflix/Amazon still works, but you get 480p resolution only.
Google Pay always worked, someone was BSing there.
To get 720p with Widevine supported apps like Netflix and Amazon Video, you'll need the modified apk at the link I posted a few posts back if your bootloader is unlocked.
The topic title remained unanswered to me.
Unrooting and relock the bootloader will allow to restore L1 Widevine on OP7P (like it did on previous models)?
