Hello, so I rooted my phone last night and I noticed that my Cinemanow app and my flixter/vudu apps will not allow me to play back any movies in my libraries.

I got a message immediately saying that I may have a rooted device and that I will not be allowed to playback any of my content.

Does anyone else have any experience with this issue?

Not an 'issue' per-se. MANY apps are beginning to restrict use to rooted devices as, with the right modifications, they can circumvent device security and allow a breach on the terms of use of said apps (in other words, it's open to piracy and could allow you to record the streamed content). You COULD also download a modified APK to, in turn, eliminate the app-check for root, but you could also end up with a bad APK or malware or whatnots.
