No Market video?

[Edwill86]

I have the new market on my thunderbolt and on my new GT 10.1.
On the tb I have a section to rent videos as well as a Google video player app. On the GT I have only a Book and App section and the video app says its not compatible. does anyone know when Market video rental will be available for tablets?

Im going on a trip the 12th and would like to rent a movie or 2 to watch on my flights.

thanks.

Unfortunately you will have to rent them on your Bolt right now. Google movies is not yet available for the GT 10.1 yet. There are some streaming alternatives if you go with wifi on your flight. We are all in the same boat for the "coming weeks".

It's definitelycoming, keep the faith. Take that from someone who has had this since the day it launched.

Use amazon to rent movies.

How would I go about renting and watching a movie from amazon on my tablet?
would this allow me to watch the movie offline while on a plane?

Iv used amazon to rent 2 movies..like a year ago on my laptop. so Iv not used it in a long time.

thanks.

That is a streaming only option though, right? Downloading to the device for offline viewing is the missing piece.

I've watched the streaming videos on Amazon VOD. You just need to make sure that in the web browser settings That you don't have "mobile view" checked. It will play juat like it does on a computer.

Streaming is not what im worried about. I would like to have the movies available offline to watch on my flights.

I might have to revert to ripping some movies and Dropboxing them to my GT if there is no other way by then.... Id rather not go through Decoding and converting a few 4gig dvds though. :-\

That I'm still trying to figure out options as well. HTC Watch still.has to limited of a selection and when I travel overseas, which is often, I can't rely on internet connection and when I'm on the plane, there isn't one.

Wasn't there something about google's movie rental system being designed not to work on devices which have unlocked bootloaders or that have been rooted? Did that turn out to be true?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

The Videos app, which is used to watch movies on Android devices, isn't
available for your device at this time, but you can rent and stream movies
on your computer on Android Market (market.android.com) and on YouTube
(youtube.com/movies).

If you're using a device running Android 2.2. or above, you can look
forward to receiving the new Android Market update in the next few weeks.
Once the new version of Android Market is on your phone, you be able to
install the Videos app and enjoy your movie rentals on your device!

Thanks again for your enthusiasm for movies on Android Market!

Regards,

Sorry, I have to call bs on that one. The XDA listing says that if Videos hasn't been released for your device that you can install it, but it won't work. Sooooo, yeah there's that.

Yeah I did all the side load stuff to get the best market and all butthat didn't work well.

If you elect to rip a DVD that you own, avoid using the ac3 audio - that codec either is not installed or is borked and you will get nice video but no audio.
