Anyone else notice that movies are playing in full screen after the update. I really disliked that there wasn't a full screen option in videos. I used rockplayer to make it fullscresn but now there's no need. Another lol thing that came in the update that I like a lot

Personally, I prefer mVideoPlayer. It lets you either fill the screen entirely or to the aspect ratio. It also has support for captions and it remembers the brightness you set while watching videos.
Cool. I'll check that one out. I'm down to try all of them to see what works best for me

All you had to do was place your finger over the video playback.....n a pop up promps you if you want to play the video (any video from any where) in full screen. This option was there from day one
If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.
How many movies did you try it with?

Yeah nice tip.

Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?
Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?
just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...
im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks
if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

I normally convert it to fit it into the Fat32 file size limit at about 3.8Gb, my collection usually comes from a 15-25gb source.
I have a TF101 my own and I used the same preset which use High Profile to try to convert the video for my SGSII, but I found that it wasn't playing with hard-decoding, even though the SGSII plays it smoothly, but I guess if I throw in something which can be hard-decoded, it would burn less battery, right? (right now without hard-decoding, it's burning 1% in around 2~3 mins)
this is not about the blocking or anything like that , my question is , i really not into watching the movie on my device but would rather watch it on my pc or something, how would i rent it from the market place and be able to use my phone and transfer it or stream it to my pc,
im using acs srf 1.2 so i dont have allshare.
I really didnt know how to post the question and make sense at the same time.
+1 to this are they phone only rentals?

Not if they enable our tv-out feature. We could stream it directly from the phone through the AUX port.
Also, I'm sure there's a way to stream your phones screen to the computer through the use of an application on the phone and on the pc. Could be wrong, but it seems remotely likely..

You can rent from other places online for your PC like Amazon.
Yeah, I'm not sure why would want to do that... the Android movies are $1 more expensive on average, and probably would be lower quality. Go on Amazon or something.

ok I have netflix, and I have amazon along with a few others , and yes I can rent a movie from those places.
My main thing is , i would not want to rent a $4 movie on my phone only to be able to watch on my phone and thats it, I could care less what other services there are. I was just curious if there was a way to stream to our pc once we rented it.

Being able to stream it to another viewing device or not Google movies gets a big YOU SUCK for blocking viewing on rooted phones.
Has anyone watched a movie from the marketplace yet? Maybe it is possible to use the dlna feature. I have my pc connected to my tv and my phone Wireless networked to my pc. Not sure if it would work for rentals.

not trying to be rude , but I dont remember asking you to save me money lol.
I do however think that it should be possible to stream the movie from my phone to a pc.
I think would be kind of nifty you rent a movie on your phone , you watch it , go over a friends house and say hey I got a movie want to watch it?, and be able to stream it to their pc or something.

I understand the premise but I think that is what Google is trying to prevent because once on a PC it can be recorded easily. There are too many apps for computers to do this. This is also supposedly why the root block is there (not much of a lock though).
All's Google needs is a lawsuit from a movie company stating they are the reason it was bootlegged (too many lawyers in this world).
I'm sure at some point you will be able to access the rented google movie from your google account on your pc. And I am betting you will be able to with a google enabled tv as well. I'm not sure if it works that way now but it might in the future.

I have the same issue, but it's fairly random, but I am playing videos from a SMB share. Sometimes I'll get through an hour before it quits, sometimes 5 minutes. This is using MX Player, Dice player, and Rockplayer. They all have the same issue. In my case, it could be an issue with the device retaining the connection to the SMB share.
Try dice player from the market, works really good!

some people have had issues with their tabs where video intense application start to freeze, crash or quit. A factory reset seems to be the trick to fix this. Yes, you lose all your data and have to start from scratch, but potentially no more issues.
This is not a guaranteed fix, but many people have had luck with it.

Using BS Player with no issues whatsoever playing h264 HD videos in hour-long intervals.
Do you happen to use Kaspersky? I’ve had a similar problem which disappeared after uninstalling Kaspersky!
Many intermittent pauses and crashes when watching videos over smb connection. Sometimes it will go for an hour or two with no problem, sometimes it's within a few minutes. Most often the tablet will reboot.
Pausing a video, then putting device into sleep mode, will always cause a reboot.
And, still not much luck in maximizing flash video playback, always crashes tablet in dolphin hd, or stock browser.
