Google's movies and magazines disappeared from my nexus - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got my nexus from the play store and I don't live in the us I live in Israel. So anyway I used VPN to get my 25$ I had the movie and the magazine app for short time but when I turned off the vpn (can't use it all the time) they were gone! And now they won't reappear even if my VPN on is turned on but it does say its installed on the play store but I can't start it from there
Any way to acquire it back? I have a free movie there!

Use titaniumbackup to unfreeze the apps.

I live in Canada and I remember I rented a movie on the us side using VPN, but I couldn't play the movie no matter what connection I was using... vpn or not .I guess Google can detect where you are even when using VPN.

I experienced the same issue and I'm in Taiwan...

I FOUND A WORKAROUND MYSELF: (People who lost their Magazines, Books, Movies and TV and Wallet apps)
1) Update the desired app through the web-based Play Store.
2) Then uninstall it from within the Play Store on the device.
3) TADAAAAA you'll see the app in the apps menu.
4) Update it again from the device.
And you can download your movie from https://play.google.com/movies by having a download manager like IDM which grabs video. The file size is about 1.14 GB.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.

Thanks man. I tried your method and it worked! :good: . I now have Movies & TV, and Books appear in the app drawer.
Just a note though, make sure you turn off the "auto-update apps" option in Play Store setting. Otherwise, if you restart your nexus, it will try to update to latest, and the app icon will disappear again.

Google Play - New market. music, video, books

Google Play - New market. music, video
1. Here's the scoop.
In a nutshell, Google Music, Google eBookstore, and the Android Market were combined to form Google Play. Not only will you purchase music, movies, books, and apps at play.google.com, but those items will also be stored in the cloud. You'll be able to do the same thing on your Android phone or tablet using the various Google Play apps (more on that later).
The two destinations--Web and mobile--stay synced. So, when you purchase an app, movie, song, or book on the Play Web site, that content will become immediately available on your Android phone (and/or tablet). Likewise, if you rent a movie on your Android tablet, it becomes available for viewing on your desktop, too.
Because it's cloud-based, those purchases won't eat up storage on your computer, tablet, or phone.
It's like iTunes-meets-iCloud for the Android folk.
2. It's already available online, on its way to your Android.
The Play Store is already live at play.google.com. You'll see that it's a one-stop shop for all of the aforementioned services. In fact, if you try to go to the Android Store, you'll be redirected to the Play Store.
On your Android device, you'll get four app updates within the next few days:
The Android Market will become "Play Store."
Google Music will become "Play Music."
Google Movies will become "Play Movies."
eBookstore will become "Play Books."
If you don't want to wait for Google to push the updates to you, you can install them manually right away.
3. Can I upload my own movies and music?
Google Music, which allows you to store up to 20,000 songs, will remain the same. The only thing that will change is its name, Play Music. Any music you already purchased or uploaded is still available, and you can continue uploading your jams at music.google.com, or on the rebranded Android app, Play Music.
Movies are a different story. Right now, Google does not allow you to upload your own movies for access in the cloud. Its Play Movies app solely functions as a movie rental service.
4. Even non-Android users can use Google Play.
Let's be clear: even though Play is heavily marketed to Android users, any Google user can use the service to take advantage of cloud-based content management. So, you can rent a movie, upload and purchase music, and buy books on one computer, and access it all on any other desktop.
Mum's the word on native iOS support, but stay tuned for any updates.
When you rent a movie on Play Movies, it immediately becomes available on any device.
(Credit: Google)
5. Will Google Play's cloud-based nature kill my data plan?
Probably not. Even though all your content is stored in the cloud, any of it is available for offline playback. That includes books, music, and rented movies. Of course, the amount of content you can store offline, or "cache," will be limited to your device's storage capacity.
Tip: To do less harm to your data plan, connect to Wi-Fi before downloading content for offline viewing or playback.
Bonus: Expect heavy Google+ integration.
Continuing its streak of heavily promoting its social network, expect Google+ integration to be everywhere. As Google explains, "You can easily share posts about your favorite books, music, movies, games, or apps to your Circles on Google+, e-mail, or text message in a single click."
This integration, which has been available on Google Music for a while, will be useful for Google+ users, but others might find it annoying.

you mentioned in another post that "may be music, book,video update won't available in india, but you can update manually" so after updating manually are you able to use all the services?
No. These services may not be offered in India, so once you update manually, you still wont have access to these services, nor will it be visible to view these sections. Unless your account is US (region which offers these services) based.
Market Enabler may work, not sure.
Sorry for perhaps noobing, dr. ketan!
Do you know if I´m able to install the play market on RocketRom V22 (without incompatibility issues due to DPI changes)?

Nope. In my experience Google Music is a 5 out of 10. Maybe they've improved it, I'll check this weekend...
Thanks for all the info and the download
Although for some reason I can't get it to install on my hero cdma.. I'm pretty sure its supported. I think its cause hero doesn't officially have 2.3 and I'm running 2.3.7 atm =/

Thanks for these, they installed perfectly last month when all other downloads failed!
However, there's a new version of Books now (2.4.3), and I'm getting the "parsing error" again with every apk I've downloaded. Does anyone happen to have an apk like the one above that might work for me?
Thanks in advance.

How to Stream playlists/music etc.. ?

So I will be recieving this beauty Next week and I was looking around but cant seem to find the answer.
I wish to stream my WMP or Itunes playlists on my tablet when I am home.
I did buy a Portable HD, but not really usefull to always copy my computer playlists over it and such.
Really looking for a streaming option.
I don't know how enamored/entrenched with iTunes you are, but once i entered the android world, I moved my music over to google music. It can be streamed or downloaded to your devices via Google's music app.

Google music will automatically import all your iTunes / wmv music and auto sync from that point forward.
Google music > iTunes

Yes, though you'll need to sign up with a US proxy (just for the signup, after that you don't need to worry about it).
Also, download Skifta or some other DNLA app and you can stream shared music and movies from your network (WinXP/Vista/7/8 machines, XBox360, PS3, and more support DNLA).
EDIT: See you have an S2X...Samsung calls their DNLA client for their phones and tablets AllShare, if you've used that, Skifta does pretty much the same thing.
Yeah i got skifta using it for vids. But I found that for music it wasnt great. Just managed to sync my principl plulist on google music!looks good

He's in Canada, like me. It's not active here yet, so we still need to use a proxy for the sign up.

My only concern with Google Music is there is no offline player. If your net connection goes you loose the ability to play your music.
OK you could just navigate to the folders and play them as they are, or use something like iTunes but it kinda defeats the point

Think you missed the point. I was specifically talking about desktop support where the local hard copies of your music are stored
I don't see why it is a problem that you can play your music with any application that you would like to.
I'm confused why your desktop is even in the discussion. Google Music will let you stream music to your tablet or phone without any interaction with your desktop. You can continue to use your desktop as you do now.
If you want something that streams directly from your desktop then look into Subsonic.

Google appears to have "closed the loophole" on the Web Play Store

We used to be able to install some apps that didn't show on the Nexus Player Play Store, using the version. However, I just noticed that apps that used to be available for the Nexus Player, are no longer installable. Check for instance Now Browser, and Chrome. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
Im using the [ROM][AOSP][LolliRock][v.1.6] and all the apps work fine... + the '' unofficial "... you my want to try this rom if u got root.

Can't find Netflix in Play Store of my new Android TV/Nexus Player

I just got a new Android TV/Nexus Player device. And was able to find other media apps either installed as soon as I set things up or via going to the Google Play Store app in the Android TV device. But I have not been able to find Netflix. And when I go to Google Play using a PC web browser, the page for the Netflix app says that Netflix is not compatible with my "No carrier Asus Nexus Player".
Anyone know why? I've searched here and been unable to find an answer so far. I know there's the ability to side load apps. But being new to Nexus Player, I'd just like to get Netflix quickly installed via Play Store if possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Worked with Netflix support. Did a hard reset and entered my Google credentials manually. And Netflix is there now.
Just setup my Nexus Player... same issue. Netflix is MIA on the device and Google Play Store says Nexus Player isn't compatible.
Can you provide a bit more detail on the fix Netflix gave you? Hard reset what? The NP? Manually entered Google credentials? Where? TIA.

Reset to factory settings
After you reset to Factory settings, the first thing on screen will be a prompt for Language/Region. Be sure you pick the correct one for where you are, since Netflix won't work with some selections. I don't know which don't work. Mine is "English US". After that, you'll be asked to setup your Google account. Which you can do via web browser or entering your Google ID/password manually on the Nexus Player. I entered my manually on the Nexus Player.
I've attempted resets and manually entering passwords, disabling location, enabling location and still no luck.
This is a brand new out of the box Nexus Player yet I cannot access Netflix due to it thinking I'm "out of region" or something.
Just got mine today and same problem. What I did was go to settings>apps (under the device menu). Under system apps, find Google play store and click it. Click force stop and OK it. Clear cache, then clear data. Click open and Netflix should be there.
Same problem.
try update your Nexus player to lolipop 5.1.1 in Setting > apps > About
go on the google play website and find Netflix compatible with android tv
Same problem; updated to 5.1.1, factory reset, updated all apps, still no Netflix available on Google Play.
So I downloaded the APK found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/netflix-apk-t3121671
and installed it. Worked perfectly.
It seems there are newer versions of the apk (http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/) but I haven't tried it.
I don't have a micro USB adapter to use an external storage, so I placed the apk on a windows share in the network and pulled it with ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player.
You need to allow the installation of non-Play Store apps in Settings, Security.

Google Play music not updating..

So now with songza gone. I tried to using google play music on my Nexus player but it seems to be stuck on an old version. 5.9.1854R when the current version is 6.3.2317v. And I need that version to get the Songza playlist items that have now been incorporated into google play music.. but my nexus player will not update.. it tells me my old version is current. Any one else having this issue?
I have noticed the same thing. The only thing I was able to do to get the streaming playlists on the NP right now was to cast from Google Play Music on an Android device. Google should have planned this better.
Hmmm yea just realized this as well.
Ya I also just did a force install of the latest google play music APK and it just crashes when you open the program. Wonder when they will fix this...
Was coming on to post the same results.. Wonder if play services needs to be updated as well?
I just subscribed for a month and it showed up, so it seems to be just a paid service

songza features are free I can use them on my phone and tablet and even goto the website and use it like songza worked... for free.. Its just not working on the nexus player or Android TV interface.
I'm having the same problem. Works fine on all my other devices. I'm in Canada, in case this may be a regional thing.
My subscription expired. and access to the streaming gone as well
Hello guys
Try to clear cache and app data, worked for me. Using stock Android 7.0 and latest GPM version.
