Google Play movies is now available for Australia and since the app was previously hidden from my app drawer because it wasn't available, I can't access the app. I have rented a movie from the store but I can't watch it at all. Is there anyway I can get the app to appear so I can watch my movie.
Note, I am using stock 4.0.4 with no root or mods and I want to stay that way. I tried Yakju and there is no movies app then I switched to Takju and still no movies app.
When I search for the app it says its installed but it does not appear in My Apps and its not listed under Applications in the Setting > Apps screen

Is there anyway to bypass the bar on watching movies on a rooted device? I know you can watch on the market site but I find it slow and unresponsive at times! Anyway to be able to play through the app?
tapped on my nex.
You can download and try Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the market place, it removes root temporarily. That should help you use the play movies app.

Google's Play Movie service is now available in Australia, but the app is hidden in my app drawer (I'm guessing because the service was not available previously and Google hid the app).
I rented a movie but I'm unable to watch it. When I choose YouTube to view it, it says unsupported codec or something.
When I search for Play Movie in the Market, it says that its installed.. but its not listed under "My Apps".
How can I get Play Movies to appear so I can watch movies?
Will greatly appreciate any help.

Same for me. It is listed as installed but I dont see it or can open it.
Is there a way to unhide it?
If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to defrost it.
Mostly Movies, Magazines, Books and Sound Search (Google Ears) are frozen by default if you're outside US or Canada. I said mostly because for some users in some countries the apps are there.
Cheers!
Not seen this mentioned, probably because the US ones have it as stock.
As Play music isn't available over here, Google have frozen the app out on UK N7s. If you've got Titanium backup installed, just defrost "Sound Search For Google Play 1.0.1" and it will now appear in your widget list.
Obviously it can only be used for song identification, if you click the widget after it has identified a song it will just open a Chrome page letting you know that Play Music isn't available in your country.
It works extremely well, just as you'd expect from a Google search product

Just a note, the OS refreezes it when you restart the device which buggers up the widget. You just need to defrost it again and put the widget back on the homescreen

I've discovered it yesterday, along with Google Wallet, Books, Magazines and Video... All of these were frozen in my device.
Great stuff.
If your in the UK. Use a free us proxy server to sign into play music once. And you will have play music from then on

Hi, I'm using a Tmobile Galaxy S3 running stock rooted 4.1.2 and I have uninstalled the default music app from samsung because I don't like it.
I'd like to set Google's Play Music app as my default. I do have Amazon's MP3 Player because there are vouchers for free mp3s' every now and then.
The problem is that when I enter my car, bluetooth starts automatically the Amazon MP3 Player instead of the Play Music app. Same case when I plug in my headphones and press play it launches Amazon MP3 app. As of now I froze the app using Titanium Backup, but that is a workaround only.
How can I make the Play Music my Default music app?
Undefault the amazon app by going through settings and apps manager and unselecting default app.

At first I thought this will work but the app is not set to default.
Than that is weird lol. I don't use the app so I can't tell you on what to do. Never seen this brought up either, at least not in our section. It isn't an S3 only issue so you may want to try Googling it.
