[Q] movies - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So all the movies on the play store are stupidly high and the ones i would pay more for are rent only. Does Google have movie sales? Or I have a external drive of movies any ways to stream it or put them in the cloud for my nexus to consume?

They "Might" play, however the Xoom has issuers with High-Profile video.
The file format (MP4, h264/aac) is supported by the Xoom, but most of the more advanced settings used in iTunes files are not supported, which results in either non-playable files or stuttering playback.
Rockplayer lite works pretty good for avi movie

I cant get those files to play on the Atrix, will my luck be the same with the Xoom?
I have some vids i used to play on my ipod touch 4th gen (mp4's) that play fine on my Xoom..even 720p mp4 vids play fine using Vital Player

Streaming "cloud" server

So one of the walls I'm finding with the fire is the storage. I have a pretty good library of videos ripped to my Drobo...about a good 100 legally owned DVD's and probably a thousand or so MP3's ripped from legally owned CDs. Now we are talking a LOT of space. Is there any kind of relatively easy to setup cloud-type server with security where I can log in through the Fire and watch movies or listen to songs? Maybe access some files?
What do you guys think?
Use PlayOn Software/App
I use the 'MyMedia' option in PlayOn to watch streaming video from my PC on my Kindle Fire
I use an app called Emit that works OK.
Emit works ok I swear the free version skipped less though.
Emit works great for me
The Amazon cloud service holds unlimited music, I use that for my 100GB+ collection of music. You get a couple gigs free for other stuff, but I haven't loaded anything else to mine so I don't know if its any good for movies.
Damn you Swype!

Google Music would be a good solution for you music needs, you can store up to 20,000 songs.
You could encode to Stream-able MP4 and upload to SugarSync/Dropbox. Or Use a app like Plex to encode/transcode on the fly.

Verizon owners (sch-i815) please help.

To those of you with the Verizon tab 7.7. Do any of the movie rental apps support outputting rentals to a TV via HDMI? I often rent movies when traveling, and if I don't get a chance to watch them, I like to output them to my TV with HDMI adapter. Can anyone confirm the MediaHub or even Blockbuster app will output to a TV via HDMI? Also, if it is possible, what is the quality like?
Wish I could help, but I don't rent movies and I probably couldn't with play movies cause I'm rooted.

Watch My Own Videos

Has anybody discovered how to put your own videos on the timeline? I would love to use the Google Glass to watch some of my movies instead of having it only stream YouTube videos. Surely there has to be a way. There was an app called Glass Movies that was made, but it doesn't work with the latest operating system.

YouTube streaming issues

Since buying the phone (couple weeks ago), I haven't been able to steam any videos on HD (720P and above) without the video buffering numerous times. I streamed movies from Google Play Movies and Netflix. I don't know if the resolution is going down to allow me to stream the videos, but I'm getting very frustrated. My LTE is full, never had a problem in my area with other phones. It's hardly better on Wi-Fi
