Post by: bjs229 on November 17, 2012, 06:03:54 PM: Please elaborate on what types of files you are trying to move. I don't know of a way to move Google play movies. I am not sure if that possible.

Is there some type of player from Google Play so you can watch movies you've downloaded on your computer?

Thanks!

MX Player
Dice Player
BS Player

These will not play movies from Google...

Is there a way to actually rip it and own it for use with other apps/programs

Post by: g-girl on November 18, 2012, 02:38:42 PM: I don't think I was very clear with my question - sorry about that. I meant, if I were to buy a movie from Google Play, is there a way to play that movie on my laptop?

Thanks for the other suggestions, that's helpful. I don't really download movies, I buy the actual disc and sometimes they come with a digital copy. I was just wondering if I did buy a movie from Google Play, if there was another way to play it. I only have experience with iTunes so Google Play is new to me.

Post by: bjs229 on November 18, 2012, 03:38:41 PM: I'm not sure if there is a program /page on the PC. I know there is a music application page. You would think that there would be a way on the computer.

Post by: S.Prime on November 18, 2012, 06:07:16 PM: Simply go to the Google Play Store on your PC and when logged into your Google account select "My Videos and TV" and your purchased movies will be listed. Tap on a purchased movie and it will play and you can even select full screen. Obviously it is streamed to your PC and that requires an Internet connection for you to use this feature. I have not seen an option that would allow you to legally save the movie to your PC for offline viewing, but honestly I have not purchased movies from Google Play, so I have not explored that option.

I don't know how many I'd download - if any - but I'd definitely want the bigger screen option. I wonder if I could hook up my laptop through my tv and stream it to an even bigger screen that way.

I do, lol! Not a lot of digital copies however. What I have work with iTunes. Why can't everything just work with everything? That would make things so much easier.

Post by: g-girl on November 18, 2012, 08:35:01 PM: They both have HDMI ports. I'll watch shows on Hulu that way when I don't want to watch on my laptop. Works perfect!

You guys rock! So helpful, thanks!

Post by: bjs229 on November 19, 2012, 12:36:12 AM: I use a Kingston WiFi drive for my movies. I play them with BSplayer on the Nexus. On the computer there are a bunch of programs that will work. Most of my movies are mp4 or avi. I have some mpeg video and some mov that I use QuickTime for.

Can the Kingston Wi-drive now use other applications to play media when streaming? I was under them impression it couldn't use other applications, has it been updated??

Post by: bjs229 on November 19, 2012, 11:56:32 PM: It works with BS . I forget if I had to designate it during setup or not. I have the latest Kingston update.
