So I have some purchased movies from Google. I recently tried to play one. It loads up, starts playing, and plays the first 9 seconds, buffers, jumps back to second 8 and boot loops between second 8 and 9 constantly. I went to Play Store and tried everything they suggested to troubleshoot the issue. Cleared cache. Pinned(downloaded the movie) for offline viewing. I even deleted it from system and reinstalled it. Nothing works. It plays 9 seconds and bootloops. I searched Google and XDA and couldn't find any threads relating to this issue. I have contacted Google directly and am awaiting a response.
Anyone else who can confirm this issue? Im running stock rooted LG8.

Correct Answer, you cannot play Google movies on a rooted phone or tablet, has to be stock. DRM(digital rights management) comes in to play which checks for root access, if root, then no play, because its easier to pirate a movie with root access

Not true, movies work on my rooted nexus7 and this phone as well. Google updated play to stop root issues and playback a couple months ago. I'm using cm10 on my phone and just downloaded all my movies as well as watched one, tablet is on paranoid ROM.
Earlier I was on codename, which would not let me download any movies.

Google made a big point last year (or was it hte year before?) to say that rooted devices will not be able to stream movies from Google.
I wonder if maybe AOSP ROm's like CM10 don't include the DRM APK's that would report on root to Google?
Still no response from Google. Still no movies streaming.
Google does allow rooted devices to stream. Im now running a stock jellybean rom leak. Still having the same exact problem.
I'm facing this issue too.. rooted deodex'd LJ7 build. I've seen some ROMs have removed DRM or something... Is that a way to get around this problem?
Try a different ROM. I am on free gs3 right now and just tested my movies, playback works fine.

Well this is troubling.. I flashed a stock odex'd rom and still facing the problem.
flashing sextape's stock tar now.. :\ hoping this helps

stock unrooted ROM did not present this issue.. Even after rooting no issue.
When I flashed a deodex'd rom is where I encountered this problem. This sucks lol
issues here as well

Hi everyone,
I'm currently running CM9 unofficial and I can't seem to find a way to watch 21 Jump Street on my phone. I have tried Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, but it doesn't help. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Downgrade to GB, ICS has streaming video problems, so Netflix doesn't work either.
May be mistaken, but idk

Google blocks watching Play movies on rooted devices, or at least used to. I was able to watch on my rooted Transformer TF101 for a while, but can't tell you why.

You are correct,ICS/CM9 doesnt stream movies correctly,something to do with the flash player not being compatible for our phones.
Hey guys searched for this before posting but couldnt find an answer. I bought some movie's from the google play store and when I go to play them it gives an error. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there is a way to fix it. Thanks for any help
try OTA rootkeeper on play
Download an apk called " hide my root" free in the play store.

yeah google play movies do play on rooted devices..I have a Rooted Nexus 7 and my free transformers movie plays on it. I had an issue on my GS3 playing the same movie but I did a clean wipe and went to a new ROM and I can now play the transformers on my Rooted GS#

Hey TDC I was running the latest rooted ICS leak. ch1 I think. I was on the somewhat modded leak ch1 when I was having an issue. And I am now on the JB TWiz port and the transformers is playing/streaming fine for me.. I would suggest a wipe and retry and if you restore apps try just restoring the app and not app + data

I have a nexus 7 which I used for netflix, since I had 25$ credit I bought breaking bad last season, since I like it, when I try to play it on my gs3 running aokp, it will tell me rental has expired, I flask tw rom(wicked) and it wouldn't let it pass 9seconds, for some odd reason, I Odin to completely stock and I have leave my phone like this for the last week, and I try to play movies app again and it works just fine on WiFi and network, I rooted stock rom just to check if it would work but it didn't, any reason why it doesn't work?, I know last year it wasn't supported at all but this year news came out that it was working on rooted phones, so does anyone know anything about this

So a rooted stock rom won't play the movie correct ?
Ok so it's a rented purchase from the app store right ?
Is the playstore in the rooted rom up-to-date ? I know there is issues with roms not being able to play Netflix i.e. cm based roms and what not.
If you go back to a non rooted status it will work so if you're at that point can you just simply root and be able to apply a recovery. They will work out the bugs honestly don't waste your money if you don't have too. Our just mask a back up and revert to it when you want to watch them.

It doesn't work as soon as I flashed diferentes recovery even if is stock rom(without super user, my best guess is because status changed to custom), netflix works fine even on aokp now, but play movies doesn't, I actually don't rent movies from there because there expensive, but I do buy some tv shows sometimes, like I have the walking dead and breaking bad because my wife miss the beginning of the season

Hi. Maybe someone has had the same experience and can help me. Recently I tried watching one of my purchased Play Store movies. I can not get it or any others to play. Either they do not play at all, I get an error with random numbers, or they play for 9 seconds then freeze. When they freeze at 9 seconds, the sound start making scratchy notices then it will loop back to 0 seconds and start over.
This is just on my Galaxy S3. Works fine on my Nexus 7. Also if I use my Galaxy S3 to stream to my ChromeCast it works fine.
I have looked online and xda for info and have found a few others cases, but no fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Play Movies. Cleared cache and data from Play Movies and others system apps. Remove/disabled any mods. Hid root. I'm currently on Wicked Sensations MK3, but it used to work on it. But just to check I have also flashed other ROMs including a Stock Rooted MK3. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I will go back to a MD4 ROM and see if it helps.

On every AOSP ROM I've tried, I can't seem to find a way to play my movies from Google in HD or download them in HD. They only play in sd quality. And download a file that's only 200MB prior to the HD file that's supposed to download which is 2gigs+ does anyone else have this problem or found a fix for it? I really like what AOSP has turned out to be but I keep coming back to TW cuz of my movies.

Are you using an AOSP built for the new bootloader (4.4.2)? The new device tree has issues with hd
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Yes I am and even before that I couldn't watch HD movies. It's been like that since the old boot loader
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I had issues with watching HD Google play movies on AOSP with the old bootloader too but YouTube and downloaded videos were fine. Now I only experience the problem with HD on AOSP when on the new builds. I'm still on the 4.3 bootloader so I have the option to choose thankfully. I haven't tried Google play for videos lately though. I just use moviedroid for my video watching needs.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Hmmm. How did you get it to work on the 4.3 boot loader?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I haven't had Hd video issues on 4.3 AOSP since way early builds so I can't answer that. It was more a change done to the ROM by the developer.

This is still an issue for me btw.
I'm in the same boat. Luckily, I can at least cast them to my Chromecast, but it does suck not being able to watch them on my device if I'm away from my TV.
I have this issue on both my 2012 Nexus 7 (running CM11) and my Droid RAZR HD (XT926) running CM11, Gummy, etc.
It only works when I'm on stock KK for both devices.
Not sure if it's an issue with AOSP in general (seems to be) or an issue with GAPPs. I don't think it's GAPPs as I've removed and reinstalled Google Play Movies from the Google Play store.
I also notice that I cannot send apps to my phone from the Google Play web page if I attempt to install from the web page.

I'm wondering of its because you're rooted. I remember when Google play movies could not play on rooted devices. I had to use voodoo to unroot & root again to get it to play.

Ummm I don't think so because my note 3 is running a rooted stock ROM but I think it's a kernel issue because I put a custom kernel on my stock ROM and it made google play movies to stop playing completely
I just don't know what is making custom kernels not google play movie friendly

I agree. Under stock, I'm rooted and movies will play. Under non-stock roms, they won't work except via Chromecast.

Yea or anything with a custom kernel. This is the only phone that I have a problem with Google play movies playing. That's why I'm stuck in Stock rooted rom. The only rom that didn't cause trouble for me was wicked
