I did a search and can't find any threads on Netflix. I saw an ad on TV that they now offer on line streaming of movies...has anyone tried this on a tilt? For $4.99 that seems like a better deal than buying movies and downloading them on to the SD?
I watch streaming movies on my laptop using my Tilt as the modem, but I don't think there's a way to get it to work on a Windows Mobile device directly as you have to install a small activex app on your actual PC (it intregrates into windows media player) and then you watch streaming movies that way.
PS there is a way to download movies from your PC, remove the DRM from them, and then convert them to play on your Tilt. I won't go into that here, but if you google you will find info on how to do that.
That's too bad...I'm surprised somebody hasn't figured out a way to do it yet as that would be pretty popular.
Does anyone know if the WM Windows Media Player plays DRM encrytped files?
okay so ive been searching around and havent been able to get a direct answer...

I don't think he means streaming. He is renting them from Netflix, converting them on a PC, and then transferring them to the tablet. I don't know of a reliable way to watch streaming movies from places like Netflix but I have heard Netflix is working on it. I can stream things from my PC using an app called upnplay, and some people use Orb, or others. But they pretty much all are using the movies on your PC.

CORRECT.
Handbreak seemed cumbersum so i bought cucusoft dvd ripper delux.
Figuring out the settings is taking some work but let me know if you want the ones i use.
Likewise there are settings for use w handbreak posted in general. Do a search or pm me if you cant find the thread.

It is the best link shortener ever... just don't use it against me... I ask a lot of basic questions in this forum...

Streaming for movies is a no go. We are waiting to see if netflix releases an app.
Tv.com and hulu work for light/casual tv viewing purposes.
okay maybe im not being clear...
1. is it possible to rent or buy itunes movies on g tablet?
2. is it possible to rent or buy block buster movies on g tablet?
3. is it possible to save movies on the g tablet through an external disk drive(like movies i own?)
thanks

Wow.. You didn't get that from the discussion above
1. No
2. No. Unless you mean to have them sent to your house.
3. Yes. will need to convert them to a format playable by the tablet. Can copy them to an external sdcard, or to the internal sdcard, USB thumbdrive, or even an external hard drive.
As said above the way most do it is to convert a DVD, or your movie file and then copy it on to your tablet. I'm sure there are companies out there looking at ways to do what you ask but not yet. Android is like the wild west of operating systems in a lot of companies minds. Because it is open source they act like everyone will steal everything they put out. Unlike the Ipad that is locked tighter than a drum..

1 & 2, If you can watch on a browser in you computer then you can watch them on G-Tab with a browser. Currently there is no iTunes App of Netflix App for G-Tab.
3. Yes you can watch your movies, but there are some format restrictions, search this forum for the tools and format which can be used.
mediainfo software on you PC will give you info of your movies.
Okay... so can I download iTunes movie to my PC and convert that? I hate not understanding this stuff...aaaaargh
I'm downloading a movie now to PC...will try to save to SD card...

I think anything you try to do with Itunes is going to cause you problems. The movie will likely have DRM. That is copy protection. I don't know how to convert that, it likely will not play on your tablet because you don't have a player from Apple to decode it on the tablet.
Only thing right now I know of that works reliably is to use a DVD, or a movie file without DRM and convert it. I know there are ways to watch from sites like Hulu, or TV.com but I don't find them to be really reliable yet. Usable, yes. Reliable with no issues, no.
I know it is not what you wanted to hear but this stuff is all brand new and will get better. Just not yet..

avi (dvix/xvid), mp4 and mkv (main profile) can be played, try rock player, i have it and was able to play 720p @main. use tools like, mediainfo, handbrake on your pc to check and convert your media.

Yes, I have a 69 Charger. Have had it since 1992.
Anyway, if you are trying to play the itunes movie that's likely the DRM keeping it from playing. Rockplayer is my favorite player. Some people have success with MKV, others don't. I haven't messed with it enough to know. I just convert everything to MP4 in Handbrake and it plays good enough for me.
Videos from iTunes won't play even if converted in handbrake. You have to use something like tunebite which is supposedly a legal way around drm if you bought the file.
There are tons of sites dedicated to file conversion from any source to playback on portable devices/memory cards. I highly suggest googling for them to find more detailed information and people who are more specialized.
I4iphones
i use i4iphones i used it on my jailbroken ipodtouch in app form and as long as the movies have a megaupload box you can download or stream them on the g tablet
Seems like an expensive way to do it.
Renting an individual movie via blockbuster/itunes=3.99 a movie. (or at least thats what blockbuster charges when i use my samsung blu-ray players app).
Netflix 1 at a time. unlimited netflix viewing at home plus 1 movie at a time for $9.99 a month unlimited.
I can get 2 a week for that, pop them in my pc, Encode them and send to the tablet via usb cable. Figure, just over $1 each for each movie at that rate, (not counting the net flix streams i get to my blu ray player and iphone).

It works, I always use it
Offline mode works but you need to remember to select the offline option to download the lyrics you are viewing to the sd card or internal storage
Sent From my blazing fast Sony Xperia Z C6603 powered by PureXAudio
what about itunes embedded lyrics?
Still no one figured out how to see the itunes embedded lyrics in walkman?
I mean, 90% of songs in my itunes library already have embedded lyrics, it would be much handy to get an option/hack to show it in walkman instead of downloading again on sd card with another program....
One week in and an upgrade to 4.2.2.
I was taking a first look at the video capabilities. Firstly, I tried to play the stock demo movies pre-loaded in the Xperia tab (10.1). The Movies app opened but after a few seconds I got "Cannot play video". I then played the file through the ES app. It worked fine! Why wouldn't the demo video play through Sony's own stock Movie player?
Any ideas?
Cheers
So my dad has this love for playing movies on the TV with his new tablets. I told him he might as well buy the Chromecast because it will work wirelessly and he doesn't need to go across the room to pause and play (he had to use HDMI cables).
Anyway, I didn't know til we got the thing that mirroring is only supported on a small amount of devices. I got it to work on my phone because I'm fully rooted with a KitKat rom on my G2, which is actually a supported device. But my dad has a Hisense tablet running 4.2.2 (latest update). I'm a little nervous about breaking it to him that he actually can't stream movies from his favorite app or mirror his screen.
He uses the app Show Box, I'm sure a lot of people know about it. Its basically free movies. I was wondering if there was an app like MX Player that has Chromecast support. I.e. he can stream movies with this app, and the video player that is playing the movie can cast it.
Or if there is a workaround to mirror the screen on a 4.2.2 device, hopefully doesn't require root.
Our internet isn't too fast, so we're not too hip on downloading movies and having to wait forever to stream them locally. Unfortunately, that might be the best option though.
Thanks!

Found an app called Web Video Caster. Does exactly what I was looking for. When you play a video in an app, just choose the option.
