Like the title implies, i cant watch a movie on my HDTV that I just rented from the play store. I have a few movies through Flixter that play just fine. It mirrors everything on my pad except when I go to watch the movie that I downloaded from the playstore. I can hear the audio but it doesn't mirror the image for the movie. I tried clearing the apps cache, I tried different tv's, I downloaded the full movie rental, restarting my device, unplugging and re-plugging. Im so mad at google for this mess. Can anybody help me out here! I went to ASUS web site and could'nt find help. I tried to read my user manuel and it had nothing, I went to google and I tried what they asked. Im really thinking about returninig this pad if I cant get this to work. I love this thing, but this would really be a deal breaker for me.
Wow, I thought I would have got some help by now. Maybe there's just to many people asking stupid questions for any valid questions to get answered.

I think this is a result of google. I was unable to do the same while on stock. No problem with other movies, but would not work with anything in the play store.
This is an epic fail by Google and Asus. Everyone needs to know about this. Im considering returning my pad and buying an apple product for the 1st time. I know that sounds crazy but that's how pissed I am with Google. Here's a great thread I found that shows others Asus devices having the same problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226472
Calling all devs
Can a dev please make a mod fix this?
Can anybody watch their rented or bought movie from the Google play store on their HDTV with their ASUS tf300 through an hdmi cable?
If the hdmi mirroring works with other apps - browser etc, then you are doing everything right.
In their wisdom, Asus have failed to correctly implement the hdcp protocol across the tf range which means that Google Play Movies doesn't work in this way either - despite the fact that it should
It is the DRM that's the problem. Either by the app developers or with the Asus coding for hdcp.
There is no workaround & we have been waiting to get a reply from the official Asus rep here on this (Asus_USA) for months now...
I came across this in the transformer forums.

I haven't tried any movies, but tv shows that I purchased from the play store play fine on my tv through my tf300.

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a logitech revue to avail of Google TV.
I'm having trouble getting opinions on it.
Is it worth getting?
I see it run's on Eclair does it mean that If I want to stream a video that I cant watch it as it wont have full flash player?
I suppose what i'm asking is can you watch pirate copy's of TV shows?
I have the logitech revue. There are several ups and downs, mostly with the fact that there's not an app store or market on the GTV builds yet. You're basically stuck with the netflix/pandora apps you have. The streaming interface is pretty nice if you wanna stream from a computer to the device (I personally run from an external HD, cuz I love me some 1080p and the router I have just can't keep up). Flash wise, you're running 10,1,107,198 unless they've done some further hacking. I was reading some forums where developers were pushing honeycomb onto GTV, so read up. Overall, a very nice setup.
ok, So maybe if you can clear this up for me.
If I was followed a TV show and for whatever reason it wasnt on this week on TV would GTV support me on searching for a set season & episode?
Or if I seen an advert for something thats coming out on DVD soon that I could search around one of the many video sites to find a copy someone has uploaded?
Sorry for all of the questions but I don't want to spend that sort of money on something that is to save me time when Its not going to do that.
Also will this work with Sky Digital set top box?
I just purchased a movie and tried to play it over WT and I get a msg saying this movie was downloaded to another device. Anyone seen this yet!?
It seems that when I try to play the movie it thinks I am trying to play it on my Bolt... anyway around this?
you can watch it in youtube

I read the thread regarding watching the movie thru YouTube and I tried to use that work around but I received the same message that it had been downloaded on another device.
Like I say I think it just simply will not work thru wireless tether because both devices have the same IP address..... maybe?
So I just got the transformer infinity a few days ago and love it except I cant watch movies that I have bought using itunes. Does anyone know of a way to watch them? This is a big setback for me because I like to watch movies when I travel and dont want to carry my laptop anymore.
I have never bought anything of iTunes. Can you share what format the movies are in? You probably just need to download a video player that reads that format.

I want to say it used to be something silly like changing the extension naming from M4P to MP4.
Yes ; you can > but ....

I have had no problems WATCHING movie files from ITUNES or playing any of my itunes music - i even loaded itunes FOLDER into TF700 (sd card) These music and movies I already own
Depends on how you want to do this. movies cannt be downloaded. ALL moives comes in .mp4 format with DRM locked - thus making it easy to play on OSX systems. There are a number of Commercial tools avalible to 'convert' and refomat these movies to NON-OSX tablets Pc etc
I dont know how much of what tech knowledge you have - but its easy.
Cheers
Wow. Another reason to hate Apple. Didn't realize that they made it so difficult to move to another device. It is 2012. Oh well I tend to stream almost all of my media I watch. Going to try the Google play store and see how that goes. I am interested to see how long it takes for me to pin a movie to my device
Well ill try and change the format. But most of my movies are digital downloads that you get with DVDs. Wish they made an app for that

Those are locked to iTunes via DRM. Why would they want you to leave their ecosystem or share the movies with others?
Because I bought them from walmart and used iTunes to view them. So is there away to put my digital downloads on my tablet then ?

sorry to revieve an old thread, but i used search and didnt need to start my own.
i am having the same issues. i have the digital downloads that come with my blu-rays, but only for ibarftunes. has anyone got a easy FREE drm stripper or converter or program they can recommend to do it? i am close to using torrent, but only for movies i own, its only seems fair to me.
Try dice player or mxplayer.
What format are these digital downloads in?
And this is exactly why piracy is so popular. It's ridiculous that you pay for something and then can't even use it because of the bloody 19th century DRM.
iTunes films are in the .M4V format with, usually, a H.264 codec. Third party apps can play this, but iTunes loves its DRM too bloody much. Which means you can't play it after all.
There are plenty of DRM removal tools. None of them are free. If they are, you get a watermark or a maximum resolution of 320x240, if you're lucky. Personally I don't deal with DRM at all because they can go to hell with it for all I care (Ah, Dutch laws...) but to remove the DRM I'd suggest Aimersoft DRM Media Converter. And no, this isn't free either.
You do realize that removing the DRM from a video is just as illegal as using a torrent to download it in the US, and still considered piracy...
I have verizon as an isp. Well, I bought a movie and I can't watch it on my tablet. Verizon wants to install silverlight, but it's not compatible with this tablet. Does anyone have any input on this? THanks
What is the movie saved as? .m4v .mkv?
If you have the actual file on your device then it should open with something like BSPlayer. Bsplayer plays every file type that I know of. Free from the Google play store. If you are trying to stream from online and it is asking for a desktop windows plugin that is not available on android then I am afraid I do not know how you can play it.
Where did you buy the movie from?
You can watch movies from a number of places. The easiest is to purchase the movie from the Play Store then it will show up on your "Play Movies and . . " app. Then you can stream it over wifi or download it and watch it offline later.
Give us a bit more info and I'm sure we can figure it out.
Dice Player ftw. It has gone free, has hardware-decoding ability, nice interface and is good to battery, has gesture control.
(I like vPlayer for its gallery features, but the last time I actually used it, it didn't play as many files as Dice does -- I just browse to them with Total Commander and set Dice as the default app to open the respective file extension with -- tadaah!)
EDIT: I have lots of local files to play, so I didn't get into the streaming part others already pointed out -- I don't have enough experience with it.

Where did you get the movie? Sounds like you're trying to watch it through a web browser. My guess, you got it through some Verizon VOD service.
I bought it from the verizon site.

you have the option to either stream it, or download it. It would not let me download it because of drm problems. I'm running cleanrom 2.2. My wife has a stock tf300 tablet, not rooted, and she can play it on hers
I bought it from the verizon store,(vod).It's a drm problem. Like I said, my wife can play it on her tablet. Thanks for the input
Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
