Unable to play Google Play movies

Whenever I try to play a movie that I have previously purchased in the Google Play Movies app I get the message 'Playback isn't supported on this device'. When I try to download it to the phone, I get 'Couldn't fetch license (error -1)'. I am however able to play the movie on TV via chromecast.
I have done a bit of searching around and one proposed solution is to play the movies in Youtube. I can indeed see my purchases in Youtube but when I try to play it says 'this video is not playable on this device'.
My previous phone is a Huawei P9 and it all worked fine. This is my first Xiaomi phone. I am on Chinese stock rom.
Any suggestions please?

Do you have root enabled? It sounds like Google Play Movies is detecting a rooted phone.

No, not rooted and bootloader not unlocked. All stock.

Got the same issue. Not rooted or anything. Stock Chinese ROM.

Good to know it's not just me. If someone on a different ROM could try this that would be great.

The only thing that worked for me was installing en.miui Rom or Xiaomi.eu Rom . Both are working .

I'm hoping to install EU ROM, waiting for bootloader unlock approval.

How long have you waited? I'm on my 30th hour just about. Seen them say up to ten days I think I saw in a fresh thread over at the MIUI forums recently. Even though according to the instructions, they have improved on response time. Sure I can wait, but I have just created my mi account. Read that seasoned and active users gets first dibs. Would just be awful to wait a week and then get turned down. By the second "inning" my application text would probably be in all caps:silly:

When you say en.miui Rom do you mean the developer version? That one works but the stable one does not?

Yes , en.miui Developer rom has better performance (in my case or opinión) but i had problems with bluetooth that didn´t happen on China Developer rom.

The unlock process takes a while, but if it takes longer than 10 days you can make a thread asking to unlock yours in the forums here : http://en.miui.com/forum-64-1.html
Check out the stickies there first before posting though, you need to use a "template" to make your thread

I finally got an unlock code last night after waiting for 2 days. But if my hing was my phone came unlocked lol. Stupid me didn't check until a day later after reading someone mentioning that the phone might be unlocked from the seller so I checked and it was.
I would recommend you do a unlock check via command line (CMD on Windows) first before assuming. Google "how to check if my phone is unlock" to get the exact command. It might save you some time from waiting and it only takes a few mins to find out.

Yep - fixed it for me too. I had the same problem with the new Netflix download feature. It was not showing up under the CN Stable rom but works great with the EU one.

Thanks for this I was actually able to use this after trashing my device trying to downgrade the software. It was a mess, LOL.

No problem. I got stuck in a bootloop and took a while before I figured out how to fix. Im coming from Samdung

The thing I wasn't sure of was the differences in versions so I just took a shot (110) and after clearing the cache got it booted up again.

does the bootloader need to be unlocked for this?
i just got a replacement under warranty and its stuck on 109....the one that broke was 112

New comment!
Since the OP apparently is MIA, and since I'm kind of in the first few posts, I'm editing this to provide the latest links for which we in this thread have our hands on, in hopes that a helpless, suffering, wandering soul who may want/need it, sees it.
Other firmwares may be around if you ask.
Also, provide if you have some love to share, since i hear FF also gave up on the A09, presumably to be in tune to Huawei's contempt.
I dunno. Whatever. That's what a community such as this is for.
We also exist here, so check it out if you don't find whatchamacallit here
Thanks to my guide @ante0, for instilling in me a desire to help just like he's helped so many (i read a whole lot by you, even when i hardly ask you things! ...although I'm world's behind his knowledge, to be sure lol!
Thank you, @nabril15, for being a real "mate" on this hobby of ours, refreshing to see someone who comes for what brought them here, and stays afterwards to help in every and any thing they can.
I know, i sound like a just cooked a rom or developed the greatest app yet, but if i didn't say it now, when? xD
Lastly, don't forget to thank (thumbs and, if within your means, why not? a beer or latte) the guys who most immediately make this possible, @Pretoriano80, @zxz0O0 and @topjohnwu

For any flashing yes you do, there's a way to somehow make it recognize there's an update manually but you would have to search for that as i don't exactly recall how, and that way you wouldn't need to unlock bootloader

How can I do it without unlocking the boot loader?Pls can u tell me the method?I have search everywhere but didn't find it.

Does anyone know how to flash the VERSION.img file? I was able to flash the system partition however the phone still prompts for a software update, had to manually modify the local.prop file in /version/special_cust/BLA-A09/hw/usa/prop.

nope, hopefully soon we are included in the bimonthly updates as well. crossing my fingers but pessimistic.

yeah, it's unfortunate but likely the case. It's the user/customer that has to suffer in the end. Spying via smartphones is done in the US as well. I that case we shouldn't have to worry
BBIWY

Hopefully will keep supporting their US versions, or send one update to change the version to European, thereby making it one less version to work on.
I know, it's not something they'll do..but

Is ridiculous when you think about it. Motorola is owned by Lenovo which is a Chinese company and US government gives them a pass.

Does anyone know, if you were to buy the INTERNATIONAL version of the Mate 10 Pro (Amazon) yeah, no U.S. warranty, would it get the updates faster than the actual U.S. version?
I'm thinking about getting the international version, since it has the bands for at&t (which I use via straight talk).

You should at least be able to rebrand to get updates. I wish I had done that. It will definitely get updates faster, maybe not the latest one. But better than none.
The US brand phone is still great without the latest updates. I'm not a gamer and I can do without face unlock

I'm not a gamer either, but, I'd like to have the security patches within a few weeks instead of months after release. Yeah, I know, you want instant updates, get an Apple or Pixel...but I see the Huawei patches released pretty much LAST for the U.S. versions of their phones.
I'm hoping after Treble is the "normal", patches will be pushed by Google, not the manufacturers or carriers.

Of course it's not just for Verizon. Verizon doesn't even sell the phone, and the phone's missing band 13 support.
The patch adds support for an MVNO that works on Verizon.

I know its highly unlikely but has anyone tried downgrading from open beta directly to this version?

I am surprised nobody has mentioned yet if security is being updated at all, the September one.

What are u saying. 7pro has band 13 and it works perfectly well on vzw.

My phone is Indian version and I have downloaded the version from Oxygen updater app and local installed this update but after update I'm not getting perfect black instead I feel I'm using a night mode which in not able to change. There is some brown hue to all over screen even quick toggle bar is not black even after setting the theme to black . Can anyone one day how to degrade to 9.5.11 or will this change after I get Android 10 update ?

Is this zipfile flashable via TWRP, or does it have to be installed via Settings->System updates->Local upgrade ?
I'm looking for a TWRP-flashable version of this, if such a thing exists.
Thank you very much.

Done the same. Sometimes, the grass isn't greener on the other side.

I am still on 9.5.13 and been debating upgrading even though my phone says it is up to date. After seeing the complaints about 10.0.3 I think I will just hold off. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" ... as the old saying goes.

What are you talking about? It is certified , since the 6T, for Verizon. You have VZW run your account in CDMA Less mode. You can set it online now even on your account.

You stand to benefit nothing, both of these variants receive updates quickly, so to risk changing over for potentially a small update (usually security) is in my opinion not worth it at all.
I have the UK/EU version of the phone and I wouldn't dream of changing region, I also had the 8 pro UK/EU was either first or joint first in receiving updates.
This shouldn't be any different.

I have the 2213 UK variant, i think A13 is not out for me yet? It is for india and it seems the A12 update in oxygen updater is dated newer than OTA A12 update

Ah, ok. Yes, I agree.
Was just wondering if there was any "technical" reason (e.g. firware/dviers) not to do so.
On the 8Pro I was just (too) eager to test the lastest version back then, and that was not my main driver.
Thanks for your answer.

No worries man. As far as I'm aware they're identical. Can't see Devs making different drivers so ones better performing over the other.
Wouldn't have thought so anyway, the problem is just the inherent risk that comes with changing region, just not worth the hassle for me.

Agree, there isn't any major outstanding bug on 2213 that's been fixed on 2215 as far as I know. And, also, I had issues going back to EU ROM on my 8pro. Wouldn't risk that on my main driver.

Question Android 12 / Miui13 in Europe?

Hi guys, anyone that has this phone in Europe and already got the update for Android 12? Am I right on assuming that the update should happen any day now since it's already out in other regions?
Alternatively: Does anyone here have experience with xiaomi.eu Rom for the redmi note 11? Is it any good?
Cheers

Hi Clouds5,
Yes, I got that update yesterday too... I thought awesome, is this finally A12 rolling out. However I didn't recognise the build number, compared to all the other A12 firmwares floating around.... But yeah, sure enough it looks like a Security patch in the guise of a full rom at 2.7GB.... I've still not installed it yet.
