Just updated my Xoom Wifi to 3.1 with adb recovery. Did other people, (ie 3G Xoom owners) have the new Videos app installed by default? Its not on my Xoom nor is it in the Market.
Where is the Videos app in 3.1?

- Start date
dont have it on my wifi with 3.1 either. I didn't get the OTA update though, I updated mine through clockworkmod
It showed up in my apps called Video.
Try browsing to the video and open it.
The player will not be in the market.

Definitely not on my Xoom Wifi. Can you be sure to post what Xoom you are using and how you updated. Thanks.

Verizon 3G XOOM, applied update using koush's method for the 3.0.1 update. Videos apk was in there already, and an odex file of course (both included)
Yes, /system/app and I will check the permissions right now.
Forgive me for not knowing the numerical value, but it is:
-rw-r--r-- root.root
just like all the others, doesn't appear to be any special value.
cant seem to figure this one out. I'm on wifi only. Theres a videos.apk in system/app/ with a bizarre 2008 modified date. Package installer on that other apk is unsuccessful. Tried to uninstall, but videos doesnt seem to be listed in manage applications. Renamed the original videos.apk, and package installer still doesnt work. Tried to move the new apk/odex to system/app/ and they dont seem to do anything.
Any advice and did us wi-fi folks get shafted?

I had a small Videos.apk file already there that appeared to be nonfunctional. Replaced with your files, chmod 644, rebooted. I still don't see them in my app list, and Titanium Backup shows com.google.android.videos at the end of the list with a strikethrough. The only option I get on a tap is to uninstall it.

Edit: Also, I pushed these files with adb to /sdcard then used an adb root shell to place them by hand into /system/app, if that matters.

Sorry you guys are having issues, unfortunately I don't have access to a Wifi XOOM until this weekend.
This behavior seems so odd though, why is the wifi geeking out. Maybe there is a model check?
I'm afraid pushing around files and some build.prop editing is about as far as my knowledge goes at the moment. I'm pretty good with linux in general, but the intricacies of Android are still new to me. I do have the modified root boot image for 3.1 applied now, along with the su and Superuser.apk binaries, as well as busybox 1.19 all linked up, so I'm about as rooted as it gets I think.
If you have any ideas I'd be happy to beat up on mine trying them out.

Is it possible that the Videos app won't work if you're rooted since this update introduces the new Widevine DRM framework and with root you could presumably rip streams?
I am rooted, and it is working fine for me, but it worked after install and never didn't work. (VZW 3G model).
Haven't tried any DRM'd content though.
For what it is worth, I rented Being John Malkovich just to see if it played... and it just says buffering over and over and then errors out, but no details.
Most likely is just release day issues, but I don't see google as being short on processing power or bandwidth..
*EDIT*
After still not being able to stream the movie, I chose to make it available offline, and I got this message:
"Unable to fetch license for "Being John Malkovich" error 49"
Splendid. Going to flash back to the original boot.img see if that helps.
*EDIT 2*
Flashing back to the stock 3.1 boot.img didn't help any. Went back to the insecure, rooted one. Hope someone with a stock install can chime in if it works or not. I like how it was okay to take my money and add it to my library but yet I can't play it :/

Missing the Video app here, too. Xoom Wifi.
Tried installing the APK above, but that also did not work.

The app is already in the /system/app folder guys. I suspect you may need to load a, movie or rent a movie before it will show up.

For me, movies dont show up in the market. I used the browser to rent a movie and it loaded in the browser and said something about how I need html5 support, which I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have now
