Hi All,
First post on XDA -
Have searched the full forum and google but can't find anyone with this specific issue.
I'm on CM7 in the UK and I've used OTA root keeper and the modified apk from SDX-Developers and can get my rentals to show up in the Google Videos app. Without the modified apk movies didn't show up - the app complained the Kindle was rooted even with OTA running.
When I try to play the Movies by streaming it gives me - Not available in your country -
When I try to download it it gives me - Austin Powers is in an unsupported video format.
Google video purchases work fine on a UK account - was previously able to stream and download with the (unaltered) Videos apk side loaded on my stock Kindle rom.
Anyone else had this - fixed this ?

I have a standard Kindle Fire, I have not unlocked it or modified the software in any way. I sideloaded Opera Mobile, and have found it to be a big step up over the default Silk browser. I however have run into a problem using it to view Youtube videos.
If I leave the user agent as "tablet", I'm redirected to the mobile version of the video. When I click to play, I get an error message saying vdn.youtube is an unregistered protocol, instead of either playing in-browser or playing in the Kindle video player. I've done some searching, and apparently m.yahoo.com is trying to play the video in the default Android Youtube application which is not on the Fire nor available in the Kindle App store. Anyone know where I can find this in order to sideload it? Or know what to do to get it to launch the video in the Fire video player?
I can set the user agent to "desktop" and play back videos that way, but they playback in the browser window, which is less than ideal and has performance issues. So that isn't a solution.

i took it from my optimus v with astro file manager.....made a backup of the youtube app and side loaded it onto the kindle fire. works great with opera mobile.
I loaded Youtube 2.2.14 and it works fine. I got it from 4shared.com
I am missing Google Play Movies and Transformers. Is this a region problem? My account is in the US and my CC/billing is in the US, but I originally turned it on while I was here in China. WTF? The app is nowhere to be found, nor is Transformers. Why does this even matter? Am I not allowed to watch my own content overseas or something?
On the Google Play website, it say it is compatible with both my devices and when I browse the Play Store from my Nexus 7, it is listed as Update. I tried installing it to the Nexus 7 from the website, but it never downloads.
So, how do I get back Google Play Movies, Transformers, and other region specific applications?
You need to be using a US VPN to get the free movies.
To get the apps, you need to root and then you can see them with Titanium Backup.
I am on a US VPN.
So what the hell am I supposed to do when I travel? The second you leave the country, your app permanently disappears forcing you to either root the device or constantly factory reset? This is absurd. It doesn't have a SIM card, so how can it be region locked?
The movie is provided by youtube .Try accesing the movie where you are through your youtube account on a computer at http://www.youtube.com/purchases .
I recent'y rented a TV show using Play Movies & TV for the first time. Unfortunately, I can't play or download the video.
When I try to play the video, I get "You're rental period has expired."
When I try to download the video, I get "Couldn't fetch license (error 0)".
I know back in July Google updated the Movies and TV app to allow rooted devices to use the app. I'm running stock 4.1.2 ROM rooted.
My phone (Razr HD MAxx) is also rooted and has no problem viewing/downloading the same title.
Are any of you able to successfully watch/download movies on your Xoom?
Thanks!!

Hello to the forum members, looking for a bit of help...
I have successfully installed the appropriate versions of google services and play store in order to get the Google Play Movies and TV app to be installed on the Fire HD8 tablet.
The issue: when I attempt to download items from my library for offline viewing, I get a google error statinging device not compatible for downloads. Has anyone found a workaround to this issue? My kids really like to have the videos for car rides, and I prefer to keep using the google store as opposed to the amazon store (for other devices).
Many thanks in advance.
