Default Getting videos through the Market

I am not able to view videos from the Market. It doesn't show up at all. I went to the web market and I see the Videos app from Google, but it tells me that it is incompatible with my phone. I go to the movies section of the Market online and it will not allow me to select my phone as an option to download. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm running on an unrooted, stock Inspire.

Much thanks for any assistance.

It's because you are rooted. I haven't heard a workaround yet.

I have never rooted my phone. I bought it new from AT&T and the replacement was picked up from AT&T. Is it possible they could have given me a rooted phone? How can I find out?

I tried that and I still had holes in my market, although I could use the videos app.

My wife's Inspire is not rooted and the market doesn't have the video tab for her neither. It is because it is not officially supported for the Inspire, although it is said that it works for non rooted Inspires. There is an apk floating around here that will allow you to do a manual install.

Is this the Videos apk or the Market?
