Play Movies & TV ( Playback isn't supported on this device) - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey I just rooted my Nexus 7 and installed Paranoid Android 4 Beta3 and everything is running amazingly. The only Issue im having is Play Movies & TV wont load any of my purchases! It just says "Playback isn't supported on this device". I know alot of people will say if you are rooted then you cannot playback movies on Google play movies but I don't think this is true because my phone is rooted and has a custom rom and I can load all my movies and shows just fine?! I'm on the stock kernel as well? any way around this?
Perhaps a different rom or a gapps package?
I have even used the disable super user option in SuperSU app... It works for flixster but not Google play movies

Well I flashed a CM rom and everything seems to work fine now!? So I guess ill just stay on that for now?

You answered your own question. It might be something about PA's setup, maybe changeable or maybe not, that makes Play think your tablet isn't compatible. I run a custom 4.1 on another tablet that the Play Store thinks isn't compatible with a few games, yet I can sideload them just fine.

Ya I figured!!! And Nice!!! Ya I just unrooted / went back to stock! Dont see that much of a point to root a nexus device, unless you want all those awesome Paranoid Android features like Halo, Pie, and Hybrid mode! Which most 4.4.2 roms dont even have because they have to re-implement them all gradually over time!

Xfinity TV player working on JB?

I haven't been able to get the Xfinity TV player working on Vicious JB. Does it work on any JB ROM?

In the play store, it lists that there is a problem with jellybean and the next update will fix it. It doesn't say when the update is coming.
It did not work on Xoom Team EOS JB rom as well. I had to come back to ICS.
I have audio but black screen. I believe because this app is flash based and JB does not support it.
I know some users complained about HBGO android app ins't working as well.

Nexus 7 (2013) + Viper4Android

Hello folks,
since I'm a new user on these forums I can't post my question directly to the Viper4Android-thread, so I have to do it here.
I recently purchased a Nexus-7-tablet (2013-version) and can't get Viper4Android to actually work.
I can start it, the driver-installation was fine, but the Equalizer is just not doing anything.
Is there anything I missed? Maybe there isn't any compatibility for my device?
The hell I know
Could anyone please help me out?

Hello there what version are you using?
What rom are you on?
Poweramp is better

Hi, thanks for answering first.
I can't post to the official thread for now since I'm missing the minimum number of posts.
-FX version 2.3.0.1
-Stock Rom (Bootloader unlocked/Root)
Poweramp seems to be a music player app? That's not the reason why I want to use Viper4Android. I mainly use my Nexus with MxPlayer and Spotify.
I still in need of some help

When you are playing music what does it show under status?
Have you tried changing to compatibility mode or safe mode? Is your SupserSU up to date?
Also, in the main thread, most people can't get it to work on Spotify, and there are still a few issues getting it to work on 4.3

What should it show? Everything is normal apart from "processing = no".

Yep. I also switched to Cyanogenmod and it's not working on 4.4.2 and/or Spotify. I can't verify your statement regarding "most people can't get this too work too".

Try changing this line lpa.decode=true*to*lpa.decode=false in build.prop, and reboot. This seems to be a workaround for CM users

Hi guys,
I recently bought Nexus 7 2013 and i have installed VIperdandroid. It works awesome when i listen to songs from Play music but when i watch any movie there is no sound effects that i get while listening to music. I have used BS player and now MX player but still couldn't find an improvement Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
For me V4A only works with Poweramp and Soumi music player. HTC Sensation with most applications running on 4.1.2 JB. I do not know if it's a matter of KitKat or lack of ability to edit build.prop.
I noticed there are quite a few apps that Viper4Android don't work with too. It's great when it does work though.

CM 11 Nightly
I have a LTE Nexus 7 2013, it is running CM version 11-20140813-NIGHTLY-deb. I have the latest version of Viper4android installed. Viper works for Google play music, but i cannot get it to work for Sirius or iHeart Radio.
Under driver status
Driver version: 2.3.3.0
NEON Enabled: yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio format: Supported
Processing: No
Sample Rate: 48000
I also have a Nexus 5 and viper4android works just fine on all apps
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the driver, changed from Normal mode to Compatible mode then rebooted.
I have tried to Force Enable V4A then reboot not change.
Is this app compatible with the Nexus 7 2013 LTE or it the ROM CM 11-20140813-NIGHTLY-deb ROM?

[Q] Google Play Movies Not Streaming HD

Hey all,
So I installed CM 11 on my S3 today and was downloading a Google Play Movie I got in HD but the download only shows 350mb. But if I use stock rom it downloads and streams in HD. Anyone have a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Might be related to drm. Otherwise im just not sure. Have you tried a different cm/aosp based rom?
Yes infact I have tried few other roms too. However now it is doing something strange. It says that I have already downloaded to the max number of devices. Unfortunately, I don't have some of those devices anymore to unpin the downloads from. Is there any way I can delete the downloads online or something?
That im not sure about as I dont use google for movies or media. If nobody else knows you can try to email google support to see if they can do that on their end.
Sorry I dont know about your initial problem. Hopefully someone who knows more about cm than me will have an idea for you.

App/Game compatibility list.

Hi All
I just re-found a compatibility list by androidtv.news (thanks guys)
great work, please contribute your findings, and be careful when you edit (there seems to be a few rows with no name, unfortunately by an edit)
I'll ask the mods to sticky it..

as long as the sideloaded apps have the original signature untouched, they have always updated.
Edit: Nevermind. The problem was me. User error.
I tried to install Amazon Video but received errors. Anyone else have the same experience? Thanks.
for some reason realMyst only works on my 2015 not my 2017
I like OpenArena, but it is essentially single player only. No multiplayer servers are around.
Anyone want to compile this for Android?

Anyone have an updated link to the compatibility list? Link in the OP no longer works.
Netflix TV Os
Hi,
I'm struggling on the internet for information I'm after and you might be able to help! I want to get a media player with the official Android TV OS (the same one as the Shield - not the other normal media boxes). Simply put - in SA we have unstable internet connections. For Netflix on Android TV OS, does it allow for offline downloading? People have suggested popcorn time but I want to support creators and anyway, Netflix is good enough. So, can anyone tell me whether the Netflix App for the official Android TV OS supports offline mode (ie downloaded episodes like you have in normal Netflix on Android).
Thanks Tom

Need help with vlc on my pixel XL (hardware acceleration issue)

Hey all have a og pixel XL it's unlocked and rooted either stock kernel December update (8.1) I use vlc at work to watch and listen to downloaded videos I've been using it for months now with no issues. Now I recently noticed that all my videos stutter and hitch . I though it was because I went for 8.0 to 8.1 so I went back and it was still happening (even though in the past I had no issues)
Only way I can fix this is to disable hardware acceleration in vlc settings. But doing thumis makes my device warm and sucks battery (being that it's decoding HD video via software) this is driving me nuts. How can I fix this?
I downloaded the device driver binaries from Google but no idea how to install it. I though I could make sure they are all up to date but not sure how to go about that.

Has VLC been updated recently? it sounds like if it's happening on 8.0 and 8.1 and wasn't happening before ... it's likely an issue with the app itself and not the OS.

No, do NOT do that. that's not what those drivers are for - they are for developers, not end-users.
your firmware contains the drivers that you should be using / built for your firmware.

i could not find a past version of the app. well i did on apkmirror but the only non beta past app was from nov 28th i was looking for one from like october but only found beta versions. tried one of them. still doing it. i think it has something to do with 8.1. i would do a back up with twrp and just do a fresh install of 8.0 and see if it happens again but last time i tried making a twrp back up restoring from it failed.
You can download the older builds from the vlc website:

well, I did just try vlc. not sure what u are watching, but I used a couple 4k videos on my phone and 4k YouTube videos.... no issues. - but that may not be an best test; I'm not using the stock kernel...
I'd see if u can get someone who isn't running a non-stock setup to reproduce it....? maybe someone will read this and give it a test too...

i think i found the issue. i use the app arktube to download youtube videos the night before i go into work so i can listen and watch while on shift. in the app there is a setting to allow to download VP9 version of videos and i had it selected for some reason. those videos are the ones that are stuttering unless i disable hardware acceleration.
would you be able to test to see if VP9 content stutters on your pixel? the video i had was 2560x1440P VP9 youtube video here is the video i downloaded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33OZFYN_cQw&index=22&list=PL8mG-RkN2uTyuEutQa79RZ0Q5u5gteUci
i just got done flashing 7.1.2 and 8.0 with different versions of VLC each and still had the issues so i guess its because of VP9. which makes no sense being that i can view it fine from the youtube app at that setting but cant if i download it and play it via vlc?
