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.

Well it's certainly not a "problem" more like an accidental feature i can find no record of existing.

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.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping (as I tried it just to be sure). Hopefully something will come down soon. I can't wait to get most of the music I want to listen to off of my phone
though if MS enables SkyDrive for music then u can just use that and won't have to rely on ****ty Google.
well Google hasnt even made a simple Youtube app for WP7, so I wouldnt get my hopes up. Amazon probably will have an app soon, considering they already have the Kindle and amazon store app.

I'd love to see Amazon do an appstore app and give away free apps everyday like they do on Android. I must have nearly 200 paid apps gotten free from the Amazon Appstore.

True. I'd almost rather use Amazon's service as it's pretty cheap with the current no limit on your own files plans. No telling what Google's going to charge
actually try them out?

amazons version reminds me of waiting for a RealPlayer video to load BUFFERINGGGGGGGGG...
Amazons crashes more often, and has more ui issues. Google Music Beta crashes 1/4 tp 1/10 as often, and the ui works better for "caching" music offline.
try them both, just hating one because of bias is pointless.
Have you given the zune pass streaming a try? I have been using it and it has been pretty good, quite a large collection, buffering is quick to non existent and i havent seen any crashes or whatnot since its part of the marketplace tile.

It works quite well. I'd still like a google music app though, as I have 2,000 songs in the cloud and could stream them for free.
I'm sure we'll see one after Mango drops.. with background audio capability.

Oh, I have tried them both and of course Google is better as for things working the way you would expect. Like actual monitoring of the folders instead of uploading or launching the music manager to add music.

I purchased a move from Google play, downloaded the Movie, TV app, and it won't play the movie. I've tried downloading it and it still won't play. Out of curiosity I tried watching from Mac book and the movie plays. I'm running the latest Clean ROM with the latest radio. Any help would be appreciated!

There are apps on the Play store that can 'hide' root which should fix the video play issue.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zachspong.temprootremover&hl=en is one I found on a quick search.

So you may have Google access music as many of us do. Wouldn't it be great to be able to download Google access music in 320 KBS straight to your computer and not have any complications... If only if only...
But wait! Its possible!
All you need it Google access and you're good to go. Simply go onto your computer, and go to a website called songspout.com
There you will download the application and run it. Stream a Google access track and look at the bottom of the screen. It may take about 10 seconds or so but you may see a little Download looking button where you can download the track you are currently steaming. After that, go to your music and there it is! And if you don't believe its in 320 KBS then just right click on it, properties, details and there ya go. This is wonderful.
Unfortunately, you can only download 5 songs at a time before you're prompted to buy it for 9.99. What are peoples thoughts on this?? Please try it first before giving your thoughts.
Why?
Forgive me if I sound stupid, but since Google Play offers the ability to download any of the songs that you previously uploaded to Google Play, as well as any song you purchased from Google Play, isn't this unnecessary?

Well actually, the google music app only stores a cache of a song. This allows you to do as you well with it such as put it on iTunes for use with an iPhone or iPod or the sort. Or, you can reupload it to google play. What I do is upload it to iTunes and then use winamp to sync it to my device's external SD card where I can play my music in whatever music app of my choice and not just the Google music app. Basically, for those who don't see a benefit to this, you are paying a monthly service plus a one time 9.99 fee for unlimited legal music downloads.

Your missing the point, this software allows you to permanently download (at 320kbps) unlimited music from google's enormous 20mil+ song library. Songs that you don't currently have in your library (purchased or otherwise), but only if you have a current all access subscription. This software is a no-brainer as you get unlimited high quality music.
Anyone else tried this out yet? found a YouTube of this app, the elevator music is pretty lame but it shows the functionality none the less.

Song Spout Support is GONE
I just purchased Song Spout yesterday. It worked for 24 hours and then asked me to purchase again. I have tried to contact the developer at his support email and his billing email and have received a bounce back on each address. I have also tried to contact his billing web page but it just times out. I think song spout is dead. I wouldn't recommend anyone spending the money unless you can contact the developer first. Looks to me like he closed shop. I hope we get some feedback from the developer or get an alternative solution.
yes, today it isn't working, that's correct. Also the Website is somehow not working properly (php).
I have also contacted them earlier this morning, no reply yet. But to me the email did not bounce!
I contacted them twice earlier already, because of an issue that some songs are not being downloaded, but never got a reply. So the support is NOT existant.
Anyway, maybe it's just a temporary issue, and they have just to restart their webserver and database, and it will work again then. Let's hope so.
I am wondering how that application works, it seems that the Google Play Music stream is done using flash, and somehow that Soungspout managed to save it removing the DRM.
Song Spout Up and Running
Song Spout is back up and running. I received an email from support that there were server issues. I have tested it this morning and all is well. This is great software and I am really glad it is back online.
I use the software regularly and works great. I am in the US. I know sometimes there are country restrictions so anyone outside of the US that are looking for specific tracks only available here, let me know.
Songspout support
I bought Song spout in Oct 2013. It worked great until about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I can't download most songs.
Emailed support, but my emails are returning error messages - the developer may be MIA.
It wasn't a ton of money, but I'm still disappointed that we can't get basic support after such a recent purchase.
Anybody know how to reach the developer?
-A
Works great!
Bought today, works perfectly. Although you have to keep an eye on it as it can get stuck on some songs.
Not "perfectly"

Well, it's not working "perfectly" if it gets stuck on some songs.
But I agree it still works pretty well most of the time.
The getting stuck part, though, is an issue I would have liked some feedback on from the developer.
Meanwhile, I've been using MusicMate on my android. It is a major update to the old Cloud Music Importer, and works very well. Doesn't get stuck. Also costs less than Song Spout. I import those files straight into Audipo so I can slow down and loop portions for guitar practice.
Still, wondering the Song Spout developer is still around and supporting the product. I feel that as long as he's taking the money, he ought to reply to support emails.
Yeah I couldn't get any reply from the developer, I only found I had this sticking problem when I was trying to download non all access files.
Just limiting it to songs added from all access it worked great. Didn't know about Music Mate that works great aswell.

The latest update in Song Spout fixed all the issues that I was having even got a reply e-mail today.
Does Music Mate allow you to download songs from the all access catalog like Song Spout? Or does it just grab the songs that are in your library? I would check it out but my acer is acting foolish atm.

Definitely you must download Filesmaster. It plays video, music, show pictures and open some text files. Great stuff to play media and manage files and folders.
I use Filesmaster to transfer movies from phone to S2 and watch then in train on way to office. It even plays subtitles too, only SRT format so far.
Wrote to author to add TXT subs too.

One can find a few good apps for S2 but still miserable with apps on Samsung Apps store.
However, it is begin, S2 is sold for 2 months yet, so should be better with apps soon. Probably in few months will be
thousands of apps for s2. Cheers!

I can't answer your question about casting. I do like Amazon Music though. I use the payed version because the streaming music fidelity is very high. AFAIK Tidel is the only other choice for high fidelity.
OK, for others, figured this out. There is a bug on family plans Prime where only main Prime member can cast. All other family users can only cast if logged in as main account holder... Which screws up personalized playlists.
Mine doesn't work well for casting. If I have it on the TV and am cleaning or whatever where I am not touching my phone it stops every song or two until I touch the phone...
No other service does this for me.

While I don't use Amazon's music service, I did find that my preferred media player was being limited by the Samsung "Background usage limits". I put the app into the "never sleeping app" list and then it continued to work well when the phone went to sleep or screen locked. Hopefully this willl tip help you.
So the answer is... Broken. Amazon admits won't work properly with anyone other than Primary Amazon account holder. So, I used my wife's account to log into music and it works, however stupid Amazon didn't keep log in on the app separate from other Amazon apps so all Amazon apps think I'm the primary and that won't cut it, particularly for Amazon shopping as I get her lists and history,.
