I decided to watch some if my free Transformers movie today but it didn't play. Does it stream the movie or is it on my device?

you have to download it
Mine streams ok from play movies app. Don't need to download unless you want to watch offline.

Are you rooted? Rooting breaks Google Movies AFAIK.
You can either stream it or download it to your device (for offline viewing).

Not here. Unlocked/rooted from day one of purchase and Google Movies working fine. I've streamed the free Transformer movie several times.

Not anymore... Use it all the time on my Rooted Nexus 7.
I streamed the Transformer movie, didn't download it. Having it running right now just to make sure nothing has changed... works great.

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.
How many movies did you try it with?

one so far I wanted to put it on here so others can try... I will try a few more movies this week.
Yeah nice tip.

Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?
Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

I only rented a SD movie in my first test I will try an HD soon the SD was very smooth.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?
just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...
im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks
if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

great info thanks
Who's 7 came with the movie?
Mine did. I wonder if it's a rental, aka once you open it, you have 24 hrs to view it, or if you downright own the movie?
Its linked onto my youtube. When I went to the site on my computer it said it was purchased
K. Thanx
I can't find it. Where did you go to find it? It won't even show up when I search for it.

Mine is a streaming copy. Tested this by disconnecting my wifi. Maybe there's a way to download it, but I rather not waste storage space on my Nexus 7.
Mine is streaming also. Just open the google movies app and it should be there.

To download it, click on the pin in the lower right corner when you open Google Play Movies.
Unfortunately mine did. I did not see that movie for a reason.

Don't download it if you plan on rooting it. If you do a factory reset say goodbye to it forever.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've downloaded it and also performed 2 factory resets and the movie is still there in my GP account.
I stand corrected... on my ego shift I rented a movie and downloaded it, when I did a factory reset it wouldn't let me play the movie or stream it from YouTube

I still can't figure this out. I have an email into Google.

Just to clarify, you got the $25 credit but not the movie? Did you get the free magazines and music?

I got the $25 credit. I found free 30 and 14 day subscriptions to a couple magazines. I didn't see any free music.

Im not sure about this, my Nexus 7 is in the mail, but I believe you can restore it to factory stock and you can get it back.

When you look at it in the web store, does it have a price under it or play? See image attached how mine is just ready to play.
In the online play store it just says play.

So can you see it in the Movies app?
Just got the tablet and am giving it to the wifey for her bday. Im obviously rooting it so I can play behind her back. Is the move a download, or already on the device? I'm not sure wether I should root, then dirty flash the JR003D build or if I should normally update, then root to keep the movie with the device. If it's a download...? IDK. What should I do?

By default the movie just streams, so you can pick it up again by logging into Play.
Hey,
finally i got my Nexus 7 32GB 3G.Now i want to watch some episodes of Southpark on the official Homepage (southparkstudios.com).But i wasn't able to watch them :crying: It says that i need the Flash Player.
Anyone has a solution for the problem?
Search for flash apk and use another browser like firefox or dolphin

Use Netflix free for a month. South Park (1997-2011) is there.

Buy the episodes on DVD or blu-ray and transfer them to your n7

Did you download it using the Flixster app from the Play Store? If so, have you used that app to watch other movies? If so, then you must have a bad download. You need to use the Flixster app to play their movies. Not your favorite movie player.
I download from the fixster site on an ultraviolet from a purchased DVD offer
