Has anybody successfully connected their Transformer to their TV and watched a movie from Google Play Movies?
I have tried it a few times and all I get is a giant red cross.
I'm rooted which I think may be a problem but before I go back to stock, I'd like to know if it works...

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?
Has anyone tried to purchase TV episodes through the Google Play store or through the Play TV & Movies app? I noticed that when I search for TV episodes in the play store on my One X, no TV shows are returned in the search results. I also noticed that if I select a "featured" TV show through the Play TV & Movies app, there is no option to purchase a TV show episode. I contacted Google Play support about this and I have an open ticket, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this issue on an AT&T HTC One X?

have you installed the play store apk that came from jellybean? You need that.
Thanks, I didn't realize that I need Jellybean(or components thereof) to purchase a TV episode from the Play Store though. I'm not sure how that makes sense for Google to cripple the ICS version of the Play Store. Google is saying that anyone who doesn't have Jellybean can't purchase TV show episodes?

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.

Try To Rent a movie to see if it works. Ask for a refund if it doesn't. Youll see what I'm talking about. Finally someone that has had the same issue. Is their no rom that fixes this issue?
Google play store says HD movies are not supported on this device.
why?
Dunno? Slow internet? I am watching Transformers Dark of the Moon (free with my nexus 7) in HD or so my shield claims I am. I am starting to hate google, youtube is broken the movies keep crashing and if I try and skip back to where I was at the last crash it insta-crashes.

Hi all,
So I just flashed the 4.3 ROM by dreamcwli, and graphical glitches aside it seems to work perfectly - except for Google Play Movies, which is a huge part of what I used my tablet for. Unfortunately movies will not play on it, and will just give me the spinning circle but eventually tell me that "There was a problem while playing." This happens on multiple movies on multiple accounts, but does not happen when I play it via Chromecast. If I try to download the movie and play it, it gives me a similar message with a "-2000" error code at the end. Any tips? Thanks everyone!
