I rented a movie from the Market. When I attempted to play it I received the following message "Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)" Am I SOL on renting movies from the Market? Does anyone have any other suggestion for renting a movie, or renting, downloading and watching it offline?
Here is the response from Android Market Movie Support:
Hi there,
Thanks for contacting Android Market Movies Support. Sorry to hear that
you've had trouble watching your recent movie rental.
I've processed a refund for your transaction, and you should be receiving
a refund confirmation email from Google Checkout soon, if you haven't
already.
The error message you reported displays when you attempt to play a movie
on a rooted device. Rooted devices are currently unsupported due to
requirements related to copyright protection.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance regarding Android
Movies.
Regards,
Jim

idk if anyone else has put the new market on their tablet but i did and was trying to get the videos app to play on it but its throwing an error and wont load i was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this or if it is an issue with the tablet not being google certified.Anyone have any ideas on a fix?
That has nothing to do with the Market, as it is working for "everyone" else.
What type of Video?
Where is that video?
Rebooted?
i mentioned the new market only because the video rental is a feature of the new market i knew that wasnt the cause but ive tried three different movies and im using the videos app in the market i was thinking it just doesnt support archos but i wasnt sure do you know of any other ways to play videos rented from the market on the tablet other than the videos app? also i tried rebooting and its actually occurred on two different 101s cuse i just got my replacement today
Where did you state that you are talking about the new google video rental?
As this is ( if it would work ) only available in the us, i can't helop you there.
That's what I meant by the videos app I was referring to theories rental service but the videos app is the player used to play the rented videos from the market
Could you please try to talk in a way that someone outside your head could get what you are talking about?
What is your problem?
Is that Google Videoplayer not working or is the "normal" Videoplayer not able to play the google encrypted and drm'ed videos?
Hi all,
I know rooted devices are blocked from playing movie rentals from the Android Market. I had hoped to use my tablet to watch rented movies on long flights. But I was forced to rent a movie on my phone, with a much smaller screen.
Are there any working (and legal) solutions for movie rentals for offline viewing? I am not interested in ripping my own movies - I want to watch new (to me) movies.
I would even be willing to go to stock TnT (grudgingly, since I really love the C+C ROM) if movie rentals works with it...well, and if Skype works with it too...oh, and Netflix, but I digress.
Thanks!
I was wondering since I have rooted my ATP can i rent movies that are under the "Videos" app or is this no longer allowed? I thought I read somewhere that this function violates the DRM. If so is there any sites where I can download or rent movies. Also, if i have bit torrent movies installed on a computer what can i use to play those on my ATP.
I rooted mine and have been able to watch movies without any issues from the vvideos service.
Hi folks,
Does anyone know where I could purchase, similar to Amazon Video for Kindle TV shows like Foyles War or Midsomer Murders?
Netflix doesn't have these, have tried side loading Amazon Video with the correct APK's and library files, but fore closes on payment pages,
Thanks!
I'm been having compatibility issues between my Media Link HD and EVO 4G LTE when trying to stream content from the Google Play media apps. Movie rentals refuse to play as well as music off of All Access. Anyone else running into this? I suspect its some DRM BS that Google has programmed into all their apps. Submitted a support email to Google...we'll see how long it takes to get past people who don't have the technical know-how to assist me.
