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.

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.

No...the real question is why would you spend $4 to stream a movie? We are just trying to save you $$.

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.

He's got it. Something with the video decoding....
Now if you go get mv player from the market you can play videos from your SD card pretty smoothly. An app like droidtv will let you watch TV from your SD card. Hope this helps!

Sometimes that happens to me just take ur SD card out and put it back in or a reboot of the tab should fix it.

Power amp has a 11 band equal. Really, cash flow that bad..?

cant. sigh..

what i did and i've downloaded a few times is remove the google account on your device, go into location settings and click them all off.. clear the play store and play movies app settings.. then connect to your vpn... then launch your play store, sign in using your existing google account, then open play movies... movie should be there.. pin it for download..

i have a separate question re the movie, i have downloaded it and can watch it in play movies but is there anyway to 'extract' the movie from play movies and watch in mx player or copy onto my pc for watching again? it take up about 2gb of space on the device... i'm guessing its wrapped in drm..
also re other movies in the store.. there only seems to be an option to rent or purchase... can you download other purchases for offline viewing?

If you want to keep a backup, can go to Android/data/com.google.android.videos
and copy the file inside the folder with the very long name.
I don't think our can view it off from outside the tablet itself, but you can give it a try though.

Anyone having more luck here? Since once has DRM-rights to the file, maybe there is a work-around so one can watch the movie elsewhere (as opposed to android os and play-store)?

You Tube offline watch it later. Possible ?

The last version of youtube enables the preloading (caching) of all the videos you add in the watch later playlist. But it needs to be online in order to play them, for some crappy reason. Is there a way to bypass that and play all the videos in "watch later" while offline?
Some info on this feature and the crap reason.
YouTube, careful to draw a distinction between this and total downloading of its vids (which breaks its terms of service), is careful to point out that you’ll still need to be online for the first second when you press play.

Guys, he doesn't want a YouTube downloader. He wants to be able to play the video the official YouTube app caches but while offline. OP, I didn't know you could do this, I'll look around for a way.

I can't get on WiFi at the moment but, I'm thinking that YouTube would store the videos on your phone. I'm thinking in the /data partition under one of the YouTube apps folders. I'll check later tonight once I have WiFi.

Just use a YouTube down loader. I know its one extra step but if its worth the extra step then do it.

Use PVSTAR+ as player - it searches and shows youtube vids, and stores them in a cache. You can also copy them out of the cache and they are normal mp4 files. (it also has a mp3 mode, which only downloads the music part it seems). The app also runs in background and with screen off. Completely replaced youtube app with it.
(it also searches on dailymotion and i think you can add other sites)
