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?

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.
I tried it. Didn't buy it yet

I ended up grabbing this up to for $10 too... but wont be canceling my all access pass anytime soon! Actually its the only reason I have not canceled and as long as I can save songs like this I won't cancel.

Is there an App for android that will do this?
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.

It's not working now
It was working pretty well but now it's impossible to search the songs that you would like to download. I don't know what's the problem but I tried to contact support and I don't have any response. :crying:

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.
EDIT July 1st 2014: NO LONGER WORKS SINCE GOOGLE MUSIC v5.6.1608P.1252217. Works with older versions.
See this post for details and possible alternatives.
Download APK
Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic is a new app that let you stream your cloud Google Music uploaded by yourself and from the All Access subscription (including Radio) to any UPnP / DLNA device:
XBMC
DLNA TVs
PCs (WMP, foobar2000, ...)
WDTV Live
Xbox 360 (including when playing games)
PS3 (playback must be started from the PS3)
Sonos
Android (with BubbleUPnP)
various hifi gear from Denon, Pioneer, Onkyo
...many more devices!
Google Play listing
Youtube video streaming to Xbox 360 and XBMC
UPnP /DLNA devices appear as Chromecast devices that can be selected in the Google Play Music app for playback and control.
You heard it right: you use the Google Play Music app to play to mentionned devices.
If it doesn't work with your UPnP / DLNA device please send me a log file (to bubblesoftproducts at gmail.com), following these instructions:
IMPORTANT: in Google Play Music, make sure no device is connected (disconnect it if necessary with the cast icon). Then Swipe the Google Music Play app from the recent apps list (to force it to reload when it will be launched next)
launch Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic
enable "logging to file" in Menu > About
IMPORTANT: Exit the app using menu > Exit
restart Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic
start the Google Play Music app, select the problematic device, play something and trigger the problem
exit Cast To UPnP/DLNA For GMusic (menu > Exit)
connect your phone to your PC or MAC and mail me the file /Android/data/com.bubblesoft.android.upnpcast/log.txt found on the SD Card
OMG if this works, it will be awesome. Just installing now.

is ps3 supported?
Seems to timeout an awful lot. Every few songs I have to restart the app because GMusic can't see the target. I suspect it occurs when the tablet drops off the WiFi.
just tried this with nexus 7 2013 and the Cast icon didn't show up when you click Start to launch. Kill all running process and restarted but still the same.

You need some UPnP / DLNA devices to play to on your network for the icon to show up. What device did you expect to see ?

Anything really .. xmbc, PS3, google tv, plex, windows media center .. did you test with the current version of Google play music? (mine is listed as v5.1.1109K.772337)
EDIT:
Reinstalling xmbc, then restart seems to do the trick. Will have to test the rest again later.

PS3: not remotelly controllable so does not qualify
Google TV: it won't show up magically if you do not install an UPnP AV renderer app on it
plex: probably like xbmc, require to enable it for remote control
WMC: If it is like WMP, probably need to enable it for remote control
Thanks for creating and making available your app and for fixing the 401 Unauthorised error so quickly. Prior to your app I'd been using an Airplay application, but your app is more what I had been looking for.
There's still another issue that causes Google Music to occasionally stop detecting my DLNA device. It is usually resolved by making your app active again, and does not require restarting of either apps, and typically occurs only between songs.

Try v1.0.3 which should be available on Google Play soon and let me know if you still have the problem.
Thanks for this! Any chance of getting a similar app for other Google Cast apps (Netflix, YouTube)?
Wow easy setup and works flawlessly with my xbox and samsung tv as well. The gui the xbox provides is much better than samsung's allshare play gui however. Thanks for this! Buying the full version now!
v1.0.4 will be shortly available on Google Play.
- fixed app not working anymore on Android 4.0.x
- fixed some UPnP/DLNA devices crashing Google Play Music (some LG TV in particular)
- fixed rare crash when pressing the play/pause button in Google Play Music
- fixed volume issues on some problematic devices (Yamaha)
- fixed track advance possibly not working on some Onkyo devices
- updated Help
Nice app! This gives my Raspberry Pi _the_ feature I was missing! (Too bad my Chromecast is already on its way - well, one can't have too many toys, right?)
There's however one issue I came across: I bought the unlocker on my phone. However it seems I cannot get the software unlocked on my other phone and on my tablet. On all those devices (except my "1st" phone says that I should buy the unlocker. But even if I press the "buy" button, Google tells me that I already got that item (and does not even give me the option to pay again).
Could you, dear folks at Bubblesoft, implement an "unlock checker" routine?
Thanks!

On your other devices than you phone, make sure to download the app in Google Play using the Google Account that you used for the purchase (in Google Play : Settings > Account). You can revert the account once you've downloaded the app.
oooo, you are an arm twister. i have the bubble server paid for but this app has a seemless way of playing back things from the app itself.
You know what would really be cool if you could? if you have your bubble server be able to handle playbacks from other apps as well and play to the upnp capable players. of course also maybe including this seemless playback in bubble server would be cool too, but yeah.
Is it possible to create an app for movies or YouTube or other apps, too?

volume issue
App works great, a few hiccups here and there but not too often.
One bug I've noticed though is the volume selected doesn't seem to "hold" between songs. I'll turn it down to about 50% and when the next song begins it'll jump back up to 100% while the slider still remains at 50%.
Happens on both my Nexus 4 and 7 (2013) casting to my 360.

Believe it or not but this is a nasty WTF Xbox360 bug that resets volume to 100% between songs (this is the hardware reseting vol to 100%: from the app's POV, volume hasn't changed).
The app workarounds this bug, but it looks like it doesn't work for you. The workaround uses a non-scientific determined waiting time value between 2 commands that seems to work on most Xbox. I will increase it at little hoping that it will fix it on your Xbox.
Have had a few issues using this app but works great 90% of the time.
I'm currently experiencing a drop in connection between songs or when I skip a track. This only happens when I play though my Panasonic VT30.
Redeemed the free movies Spider-man 2, Ghostbusters and Capt Phillips. Only Capt Phillips seems to be available on my phone. I've deleted Movie App updates, uninstalled Sony Entertainment Network, reinstalled. Still nothing.
Anyone else had this?
Download the Sony MediaGo PC app and login to your accoung and see if it shows there.
I redeemed it at the Xperia Lounge and it shows up in the movie app, with a little Sony unlimited symbol next to the movie. Have you signed in your account?
All movies show when logged into the SEN. Nothing shows at all in Video Unlimited on the TV. On the phone, movies app and video unlimited, only Capt Phillips.
I can't seem to even redeem mine. I get try again later which makes me sad.
I suppose you could contact Sony support.
Already tried at least twice a week since I got the phone. End up playing hand off game between Xperia support and SEN.
anybody use Amazon Music? Been using Google, but wanted to try Amazon since free. After installing notice casting option not there. It show on wife's non Samsung phone, but not mine. Nope, cant cast from app.
Anybody able to get this to work, or does it natively work for you? If so, did you k stall from somewhere other than Google play store?

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.

Maybe you need to set the app to never close in the battery saver menu.

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,.
