Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with a solution for watching Google Play movies on my Samsung plasma 51H49000 TV.
I have Minix Neo X8-H connected to it. Audio is thru a Norge amplifier connected to Wharfedale 9.2 speakers.
I like Google Play movies because the service is affordable and the library is good enough for my tastes. Unfortunately, there are some hiccups in trying to get movies to play on my Samsung.
Issues with Minix Neo X8-H:
I cannot download HD movies to Minix. This device is not supported by Google Play. I can watch streaming movies though but its not HD quality. I tried using Chrome browser on Minix to watch the purchased/rented movies but haven't been successful so far. The movie fails to load, there's no error. Once i did see 'could not load license' while trying to play in Chrome (via YouTube>Purchases) but this error has not been seen again. My main requirement is being able to watch HD quality movies on Minix Neo X8-H
Issues with Oneplus One:
I can download HD movies from Google Play but cannot connect the Oneplus One to the TV. The phone doesn't support MHL. MHL doesn't display subtitles either, so that's another drawback. Oneplus One is capable of Miracast, however Google Play movies don't play while trying to watch on TV thru Miracast app on Minix Neo X8-H. Also, I'm not sure if Oneplus One supports AV out connections to the TV.
Is Chromecast a good option? Would it deliver HD content?
Google play did allow downloads on all devices earlier but of late, they have withdrawn the option and have limited it to certain devices only.
Would appreciate some guidance in this matter.
Thanks.
