Google Video on rooted ICS - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a solution for getting Videos to work on a rooted 4G Xoom running ICS. I have tried multiple ROMS and the temp root remover app in the market and I still can not play rented videos. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I encountered this. Sadly no real answer as rooted devices are barred from playing these videos by Google or actually the film industry.
I wrote to customer services and got my money back for the rental.

Does the inspire 4g support videos in the market basket cause I'm on the latest version of the market and the videos tab is missing.

Google pulled a complete bit** move and blocked it for rooted users. Even then, I'm unable to get it on unrooted stock.
(and on another note, it's my 100th post! *party poppers*)
Actually it has nothing to do with rooted/unrooted. It is not available for any model of Desire HD/Inspire rooted or non rooted. I have other phones which are rooted and have the video tab.

It's not available on my wifes stock, never rooted Inspire and she has the new market. It updated itself to the new version recently.
Yes it does
I had the movies tab on my budget 908s. After rooting it's gone.

YouTube randomly force closes

All of a sudden YouTube is force closing on me when trying to play some videos.. I've tried clearing the cache and data, I've removed and installed YouTube from the market and from a good known backup..
What gives? Noting has changed that I know of.. It worked fine one hour, the next trying to play the same video it will fc. But it will play some, I guess it's just picky and doesn't like my taste of videos.

Is a common Youtube Mobile today. For exemple for me it FCs when I want to watch a video, all my subscriptions were gone etc. (just on mobile version). And it happened on my 2.3.4 SGSII, on my 4.0.3 Nexus S and on CM7 SGS
So it's an issue with YouTube then? Makes sense because I have an epic doing the same thing but not as bad as the nexus.

i have no issues with youtube..
no force closing and my account subs work fine.
same issue for me with youtube when you select video it crashes...tried on stock and custom rom and problem still exists...so something wrong the app itself
its a problem with YouTube. Its happening to IOS users too. You'll notice your subscriptions may not be showing either.

YouTube not working over 4g LTE

Cannot get the YouTube app videos nor videos in the browser to stream over 4g. I switched over to 3g and it works fine and same with wifi. My neighbor has the Galaxy Nexus and YouTube over 4g works fine for him. I did a battery pull/sim pull as well as uninstall/reinstall the app. No go. Anyone else?

Reinstall the Rom or flash newer radios

I have the same issue..I have a droid charge also and it plays all the videos I attempt on my bolt without an issue on 4g. Like you say switch to 3g on the bolt and all is well..I've tried all sorts of things and NO BUENO!!

This has happened before and it seems to be a youtube app issue everytime..

The youtube videos load but it takes minutes, that's if they load at all
It works fine on wifi
Also, my friends with Nexus have 0 youtube issues. And the wife's iphone has 0 issues.
More details
What is your ROM version? or YouTube app version? Where is your location? Maybe you should call not only VZW but HTC for help. My friend in NJ works well over 4G.
I am working now as of 2pm today. Wasn't working this morn. Weird.

The YouTube update fixed the slow loading issue.
I knew it wasn't the network because my friends nexus worked without issue.
Thanks everyone

I notice that issue this morning. video wasn't loading switched back to 3g and worked perfectly. not really a big deal for me.
I am also seeing this issue. HD Youtube videos take minutes to load on 4g and seconds to load on 3g and wifi. Non-hd videos work fine on 4g though. I'm seen it on multiple cm7 variants and across multiple radio releases (on the latest leaks now). Can be very frustrating when trying to watch videos or browse youtube

Pretty sure it won't, I believe that Supports Samsung devices, and only specific ones.
The app actually doesn't work on the galaxy s or s2, also doesn't work on the HTC desire. Most likely doesn't work on the One S though

Works for me.
I've used it on my HTC One S without any problems. Derooted and then logged in to Play Movies easily!
Is there anything special that I need to do to make this work? I tried loading it with a rooted HOS. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated. It would be nice to play the HTC Watch movies I have paid for and the same with Google Play movies.
Thanks

Sometimes you need to reboot after de-rooting. I haven't had to with my phone, but some other phones I have had have required it. You can also try killing the app after de-rooting. I haven't had any problems accessing movies this way.

Google Play Movies

I am trying to watch my movies on my Rooted Xoom with CM10. I read that the app now allows streaming for rooted devices. This isn't the case for me. That doesn't work at all and I have reinstalled the app and rebooted numerous times. So here is what I am asking. First off is there anyway to get a real full functioning Google play movies app for my Xoom, if not how can I get the streaming to work?

I know that xoom users are using a modified gapps, I made a symlinked gapps for systems with small system partitions. I posted in the general area, but haven't got any feedback. I figured it was because you guys are used to using the xoom gapps. This is the complete gapps package, with everything included. We are still in alpha with CM10 since we got stuck at froyo, so only me and a few other devs have really used it. Our CM10 is not fully functional so I can't test everything, but everything I could test did work. Hope this might help.

I'm not exactly sure how this would help, but I am not a developer like you lol, I'm trying it now. Will respond back in a bit.
