Everything seems to work till you go to watch the movie then it will only play for 8sec thru the app. At least I can finish watching the movie thru the TF's browser.
So you can watch the movie in the browser? 720p?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Yes sir. I launched the app, clicked on the video which launched the browser to make the purchase. I ordered the movie, clicked play and it asked me to play back thru the app or the browser. I tried the app and it would only play 8sec then stop. I went back to the browser and this time when it asked me to choose I picked the browser and it worked fine. Yes, in 720p
EDIT: Forgot to mention I was getting an message in the app player something about my rental had expired.
Also, it gives you the ability to display personal videos on a youtube style video wall. Now just gotta figure out how to make cover art show up, instead of the video snippet it uses. This is what I was coming on the boards tonight to actually inquire about - How to show movies with cover art from a screen I could choose from. Problem solved!
I am10 minutes into Hall Pass, playing right out of the app, tethered to my iPhone while in the car. This is super sweet.

so does it work or what can someone else please test the apps ability to play.
Ok I rented "The rite". I was able to play it in the browser and in the video app. Only at 480p though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Ok it only played for a minute in the app. But it still going in the browser. Also I'm able to watch the movie on google tv.

What's up, neighbor in Orlando? I am in Vero Beach...
Super simple...for your 3G (NOT a 3GS, right?) you'll need to jailbreak it and find an app in Cydia called 'MyWi' or 'PDANet'. Both of these will allow you to both tether with the USB cable as well as via wifi and bluetooth. If you have a 3GS, and you happen to be running iOS 4.x, you can download a tweak called 'TetherMe' which enables the native hotspot tethering in iOS4. Good luck...PM me with any questions.

OK so were you on home wifi or 3g when you did this. And how come you were only able to play the movie in 480p. Were you playing it in 480p in the browser or in the app?
Thanks for trying to out
I was at home on my wifi. I played it thru the browser. Paying it thru the app only played it for about a minute. Don't know why it only allowed 480p but it only allow that on my google tv too.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
hmmm the rite is a fairly new movie. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was playing on the web and not on the app. Although that's odd because on YouTube when a video is HD it plays 720. Oh well thanks for answering the posts. Hopefully Google will release the in app video update soon.
I have been trying to install Videos (by Google) from the market and every time I hit download it acts like it is going to start and then decides to stop trying to download.
Can anyone install from the market?

Having the same problem, though I don't know why you need Videos. The screenshots are of Honeycomb, and one of the reviews says rooted devices aren't supported.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
I was interested in trying to rent a movie from the market and my previous understanding was that the Videos app was required. If the Videos app does not work, it is not worth renting a movie. I would also want HDMI out to work i.e. not be blocked like Samsung Media Hub.

I was able to download the app no problem. Haven't tried renting anything yet because its kind of a rip off.

There's a Google Video app?! An Android app to browse Google Videos?
I thought Google was getting rid of their Video section

It is an app to buy/view videos from the market and to play videos stored on the phone.

I love the fact that I have a smart phone to basically search anything that I dare to search.
One big thing I love to do is jam out to "Ride the lightning" by Metallica on YouTube, I like to keep my SD card on the slim side as with everything else
Why can I not keep YouTube closed (running in the background) and still have whatever was running/playing (play) ?
I don't like the mobile YouTube app it sucks
I have tried Opera Mini and Firefox (blows)
Need to see other options (other users such as your fine selves).
Any words?
could get a hold of the song somehow and put it on your phone as a mp3 and just play it in a music player.
Well... I like to keep it slim (hint) haha
I am not so limited either as far as " I can only have this many songs"
Currently I only possess a 2gB card
But the infuse has 16gb(well like 14.3) internal storage? Confused.

Not to mention you can put a 32gb sd card in on top of that. As for the youtube app not playing with the screen off... I'd imagine they figure not too many people are watching videos with the screen off. One song will not take up that much space.

I understand the point... I also hate when I search something to play on youtube and when I try to answer a text message or do anything I lose the streaming!...

Try ipwebcam. I used to use it on my phone to use as a webcam, and you can view the stream online which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do with your tablet.
I'm sure there are other webcam apps out there also. I seem to remember using one that streamed the camera over wifi but I can't remember the name of it.

Can we use the Galaxy Nexus Netflix HD app for our S3? And are there any new HD Netflix apps that work full screen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Am I missing something here? What is the difference between the standard Netflix app, and this mentioned Netflix HD app?
I just happened to test out Netflix the other night, and with the regular Play-store app was able to click the little "HD" button to view HD streams.

Hmm. I'll have to check again later, but it was at the bottom left of the screen, plain as day. I'm using CleanRom 2.5 with the Play store Netflix app. I'm not sure if it depends on your connection and/or the content as to if it shows up.

I've noticed it's not HD as well on my S3. I have no options to change the quality and my connection is more than fast enough.
Alright, I got a chance to check again, and of course there's no HD setting. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy, but could swear there was an HD toggle the last time I tried it (maybe a week or two ago). Sorry for the misinformation -- I'm not sure what if anything changed on my end.
Update: Crap, I found out what happened -- I was thinking of the YouTube app. I really need more sleep. Sorry, guys.

lol all good man it happens.
So the S3 doesn't play netflix in HD?
If you go onto netflix.com with your browser than log in, go to account settings, streaming options, there is an option to raise the quality video on streaming devices at the cost of data. I have mine set in high as I have unlimited data but it uses like 1gb per hour. I honestly cannot see much of a difference

Doesn't work with phones. Netflix is working on a HD app for droids right now. You can see the difference in the Nexus HD app thread. I just want to know if the Nexus HD app works for our S3's

Just tried the rezound HD app and it doesnt work. I heard the New razor HD will come with the HD Netflix app pre installed on it. If anybody could get that to work on our S3 I would be the happiest man alive.
