It's all licencing. Google currently only has licenses to sell movies in the US. Until they manage to get agreements with them in other countries that's that. It's just like Netflix. They had to start in the US and then has been expanding slowly since. Tis why I hate the state of copyright law and how the Movie & TV Industry are holding back progress into the Digital age.

if you download market enabler you can make the market think you are on VZW and it should let you download movies.

Once you do the convert to "mu" from su, no other root app will work. Convert it back, all will be fine. I ran into this problem with TB, but everything is fine now.

Darn, you stole my thunder :(

I made a script for this last week and was planning on turning it into an app.

Oh well, I salute you and your quick work. Though my script automatically detected where SU was, whether it is named MU, and adjusted accordingly with no extra input from the user needed.

Sorry about that!

Thats cool how yours automatically looks for the file and renames it.

I thought about doing that but I wanted to add a UI with a disclaimer that this is changing system files (SU) and It might brick the device.. Just so I don't get blamed for any damage done and have to replace someones device.

You mean this:

Renaming /system/bin Mu To Su

-On your PC open cmd and locate ADB
-type in: adb shell
-type in: mu
-type in: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
-type in: mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
-type in: mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

\

I can't do this working,when type mu in cmd write not found!!!

Pls explain this better if you want.
Thanks.

Okay first off did you rename the file from su to mu in the app? If so try the button mu to su. If that does not work then on your pc opem cmd and cd to the directory were adb is located. Type in adb shell and the mu. On your device you will se that a unkown (adb) is requestion superuser click allow and the remont the sytsm to rw. Mv the.file from /system/bin/mu to /system/bin/su and remount rw and close out of cmd

If for some reason this app doesn't rename MU back to SU you can use this script to fix it.

Just download the script to the root of your SDcard and then run this in a Terminal Emulator (Available in Market):
Code:
sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh

It'll first tell you if SU is currently named SU or MU. Then depending on what it told you run the following command:
If it said Root is SU then you're root should be fine,

If it said Root is MU then run:
Code:
mu sh /sdcard/googlevideo.sh

Root should now be repaired. If you have any questions or problems please PM me.

Notes: This script is designed to Autodetect where SU is and whether you're running the script as Root or not. If you aren't Root it'll inform you whether you need to run "su" or "mu" to get Root. Once Run as Root it'll automatically rename SU as needed.

Download the Script here: http://db.tt/nNy1jCy

NOTE: If it seems SU has disappeared then read this other post I made:
I believe that for some reason the renaming process using the app was interrupted or SU was placed in the wrong folder for your device by accident (ie: /system/bin instead of /system/xbin). My script can't detect that kind of problem as there is no way to and it wouldn't be possible to fix it.

The best fix would be to flash SU back to your device using CWR either with a SU update, ROM update, or NAND backup. Alternatively you could use ADB on your PC to push a copy of SU to your Android device. Please be sure you push it to the correct folder (some devices use /system/xbin instead of /system/bin)

    Why is this better than "Google Videos with Root Check Disabled"

    "Google Videos with Root Check Disabled" Apk located at SDX

    They edit the apk so it looks for the wu instead of su. I have used it but when I used I tend to download my movies so i can play them when im offline.
    attachment.php


    The advantage of doing that is so they movie does not stop every 30 min to buffer if your on a bad connection.


    Why this is a bad way
    So downloaded a movie with SDX modified version (1.2.13) Watched the move half way throw... Stopped because I picked a boring movie :(
    Then I download and install the new modified version (1.2.14) and when I tried to play the movie it gave me an Error saying "the following video has been download onto another device"...

    But the thing is it was the same device! :confused:

    Also this works with the Blockbuster app and any other app that looks for root access and if present say sorry you cant use me.

    would be great if the apk was posted as it says is not compatible with the evo or my aconia a500....
