Google Play Movies/Music not supported with Media Link HD?

[Scott Kenyon]

Are these seriously not supported with the Media Link HD? Those were the main reasons I bought it. What else would you use the thing for?

They blocked it. That should be in red letters on box

Who blocked it? HTC or Google?
It should be in red letters on the box. Really this is my fault for not properly researching a buy. I figured Google Play support would be a no brainer though. Lesson learned.

I also noticed this and I'm surprised no one else pointed it out. I can play media on it as long as it is not from Google Play. Anyone know why? How do we even play movies/tv shows from Play onto a TV? Really upsetting.

Yeah it's a huge disappointment. You can use an MHL adapter for Play stuff, however it's not an ideal solution. Your screen will have to remain on the entire time you're using the phone and your battery will be break-even at best, as the power that goes into the adapter will barely charge your phone. It was actually a drain on my Note 8. There really should have been a disclaimer on the product that it would not work for Google Play.

Very very disappointed about this. It works for one song if you start playing the song before connecting to the media link. I guess I will have to stick to using Sony's music unlimited which works okay but is not as user friendly and seems to crash a lot when in offline mode when out and about.

Does anyone have an Idea if there will be a fix for the google play music issue?

I think investing on a Chromecast is a much better idea

[I know for now Chromecast does not allow streaming local files, but does for online content from Google Play Movies/Music]

Chromecast is a good idea. It works for me.

Just saw this app, which could also be an option if you have DLNA - Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic
