When I go into the media hub I can login just fine, but the movie comes up costing $15. Anyone else seeing that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vikramdhani:
same issue with me as well

Have you tried going into My Media tab and selecting Downloadable?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vikramdhani:
I am not been able to log into the account and have tried like 100 times already. this is crap. It is asking me to login my password all the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vikramdhani:
Awesome it worked and i am downloading the movie right now

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Is there a way i can play this movie on my TV via DLNA ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Something weird is going on here. I couldn't even get Media Hub to stay open although many others had no problem at all. I've never had any problems with stuttering at all. Even had an iPhone user slack-jawed in awe as I was showing it to her playing on our big screen. I've copied it to external SD and deleted the original to open up space on internal SD. Testing again right now and it's playing fine.

That was answered yesterday, read back 10 or so pages. BTW, jgalan14 made a thread announcing Google's 25 Billion apps sale. Just got Ashalt7 for .25. Its over in the SGS3 General section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
Got my movie yesterday, HD and SD versions. Good thing I have unlimited interwebs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fcortes626:
i just got a brrip screwthis it just wont work. my brother had the same problem and he isnt even rooted. he said he just removed the account and added it again and it worked for him. i tried it and didnt work. my counter is set to 0. so i just decided to get the brrip my brother already had.;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sgyee:
It is a Microsoft Silverlight file that's .ASF encoded.

Similar questions arose when the SGS 4G came out and people were trying to move and play Inception. It also was a .pyv file as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilroy672:
I'm in the same boat as everyone else. But...I already had The Avengers downloaded as a bluray rip 1080p mkv file, with the same exact size 2.66gb as the T-Mobile version. So I copied my copy over to my sdcard and poof it worked flawlessly with stock player.. I had no idea that this phone was capable of playing mkv files .:eek: But I still wished that the copy I downloaded last night from the Media Hub would haved worked. I just hope ths had nothing to do with T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] omegaflare:
media hub keeps crashing.. grr. I can't download free Avenger HD.. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
Has anyone been able to take it off their phones and put on a laptop to watch?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
Same with me. I'm on AOKP and I didn't have media hub anymore, so I got the apk installed it and reinstalled the Samsung account. I was able to successfully sign into my Samsung account, but once I tap my media hub app it force closes right away. I've tried clearing the data and rebooting but same **** every time. I did get triangle away and cleared the counter to zero. Basically, I'm lost! I shouldn't care so much about a stupid little movie, but I wanted to see how it looks on my phone. I guess I've done everything except go back to stock which I don't really want to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hendren13:
+1 for this issue, if I dont check "auto reset at reboot" in triangle away my counter always just goes back to one. Even when it resets at boot, and my counter says 0 and binary official, I still get sign in fail. I actually flashed back from wilds xquizit JB to stock ics uvalh2 for this thinking maybe samsung knew it was a leaked build and not a "official" one like uvalh2. Ive rebooted, flashed counter, backed up media hub and samsung account and restored them, both with and without data. I feel like I might be screwed out of this movie indefinitely guys lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Docavelli:
Believe it or not, it does make a difference whether you're on WiFi or not. When on regular data. The movie plays choppy. But after switching to WiFi, it plays sooth as butter. I know it shouldn't make a difference since the movie is already dl'd but it seems to help some way. :confused:

I had seen other post saying the same but dismissed them. IMO. It does matter for some reason. That sucks if you want to watch while not near WiFi.

Also, when trying to use the all share app to stream to my Samsung "smart" TV , it tells me the TV doesn't support the file format. Why the hell would they use a format not supported by all of their devices? Dumb ass move.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I'm in the process of downloading the movie, even though I already own it....... This is just another awesome perk of the GS3.... First dropbox, now this......... THANK YOU SAMSUNG! (screw you apple! I never got anything with four iPhone's!!!!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] josepresas:
Ive had the same "sign in failed" problem for a couple of days too. Last night I decided to do a factory data reset, and created a NEW samsung account. With a different email. I was able to sign in right away and downloaded the movie with ease. Im still on stock unrooted so that might be why.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxjrsmith3xx:
where is the file on the phone ?? I can't seem to find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sooner4life:
It is a hidden file. I have found out through trial and error, this movieplays on "odexed" roms not deodexed roms. That is my experience.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrahm01:
@sooner4life :- What is the hidden location of the movie file?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iwillkillyou:
On your file manager turn on show hidden files, then navigate to .samsungmediahub. From there just open the folders and you'll find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Praetorian011:
many features not supported

+1 for this issue.

The movie itself plays fine - looks great, but you cannot stream to your Samsung TV??? WTF.

Also can anyone use Pop-Up Play with this video? the option is grayed-out for me.

I'm assuming it's because of the .pyv file format they use. DUMB move on Sammy's part using a file it can't support!

On to the next order of business - how do we convert .pyv into a usable format?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mastermindx85:
Has anyone got this to work on a jelly bean rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxjrsmith3xx:
file can not be played what's the deal here ... I use to watch it all the time wth
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
From my experience. If your flash counter is abive zero it wont play. Installed tri angle away and now it plays. Mayb e a fluke? I don t know.

Frosty JB v3 - Sorry video cannot be played

I read through all 37 pages of this thread. I get the sorry video cannot be played message. I'm on frosty JB V3. I didnt have media hub so i got the apk from this thread and installed. I did use triangle away to reset my counter to 0 before installing. Restored samsung account as well from old nandroid backup. Moved file/HD folder to SD card. I downloaded the HD version when I was on rooted stock ICS rom and it played at that time. After flashing Frosty JB, I was able to login and download the SD version but I cannot play the HD or SD version. I even tried restoring a couple of apps from my old nandroid called DRM using Titanium Backup.

Tried playing with the stock video player as well as MX player from within media hub as well as long press the file and open with on Root explorer.

I'm done!!

I guess I'll just have to nandroid back to ICS, watch the movie and nandroid forward after I'm done :(

That shouldnt be too hard :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DeeXii:
The movie is still free by the way. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] caribe:

Thanks bro
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] horr1blek1tten:
Where is the movie located I downloaded but can't seem to find it I wanna use all share but playing it in media hub doesn't give me the option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:

Theres a dot before samsungmediahub

And there will be a separate folder for each movie or video you download.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chamkilla:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jackpearce:
All of a sudden, mine doesn't play. Says video cannot be played. Wtf?

Can anyone upload on Dropbox?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ro_bro:
HI,

I was able to download the HD version of Avengers via the Media Hub. But when I try to play it, my phone reboots. I tried downloading it two separate times, and even tried different media players. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone actually get the HD version to play ok?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JesseMT4G:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Same for me, it will partially load, go to black screen and start over, again and again. I'm using mrRobinsons stock rooted UVALH2. Don't remember if it was any different before I rooted or on rooted UVALEM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pradyots:
I did a download and install and it worked. Had to do nothing with moving to any folder or changing permissions either. Thank U!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Installed as User apk and still the loops. Not sure what is the problem. I saw the Terms & Conditions for a split second.

I wonder if there is another app it interacts with.?.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I don't know what ROM you are running, but does this app stay open for you?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Ray, I figured it out on mine. YMMV, but this is what I did.

In TiB, I defrosted SamsungAccount.apk and restored data. Then I opened S Voice (which I don't use) and went through the set-up process. Backed out of that and launched Media Hub and it fired right up. It has something to do with SamsungAccount.apk.

Sweet... definitely getting this...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ArkAngel06:
Guess I will wait a little longer to get rid of that app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
Hmmm, maybe what I need to do is delete all data and cache for S Voice then set it up again. I don't use it either and disabled the double tap to launch feature. I haven't used TB for anything so far. Still have a couple of days to figure it out, then I'll go crying to T-Mobile, lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
Hmm I don't even have s voice and every time I try to log in my Samsung account via that media hub apk it FC's

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
How did you install media hub?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vikramdhani:
If you want to download stuff like this then you will need to get it from where else since this community does not support piracy or illegal content
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
This is a known issue that happens after installing custom firmware after the JB update. You would need to re odin the official firmware to get your Samsung apps to work again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ro_bro:
thanks, so after I reodin, can I still play the video after installing any custom ROM afterwards, or is the video ONLY playable in the stock ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
It should be playable until your flash counter goes to 1. Even if you use TA to reset the counter, it still won't play until you re flash a stock firmware in Odin.

One way around this is to flash the ICS firmware in Odin then root and flash a custom rom. But with this method you're missing 5 partitions from the JB update. The only way to get all partitions flashed is by using Odin to flash JB.. But then your Samsung apps won't work after you flash anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I have SGH-T999 JB 4.1.1 from Last OTA.. This I rooted later.

Repeating Answer(s) in case someone needed it.

1. There is a Easy-To-Miss Warning when you launch Samsung Media Hub that it requires Data Connection (Not Wi-Fi) initially to Register the device for the first time.

2. The Files downloaded are on \Storage\sdcard0\.samsungmediahub Note the DOT before Samsungmediahub.

3. I have De-Bloated yet still able to play. IMHO it requires Samsung Account and the Media Hub to download.

4. Once Downloaded, I was able to play in ES File Explorer's Media Player but not in Stock Video Player. Others might be supported but did not try. PM me if you want me to.

5. Getting to share Screen / DLNA with my TV is next to impossible unless you get a Working MHL->HDMI Setup going.

6. AllSharecast does not talk with iMediashare on my Favi SmartStick. So I really need to buy Setup in Step 5.

7. IMHO, there is some Decoder/Codec (M$ Silverlight perhaps ?) on the Stock image that allows the files to be played by ES File Explorer's Media Player and Media Hub.....

Post here or PM me if needed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I did a Google search and found a reference to HTC Hub and syncing that in settings. Realized I didn't have a Samsung Account *facepalm*. Created account and synced it, Media Hub still won't stay open *facepalm*. Hoping this can be fixed by deleting cache and data for the app, then deleting cache partition and dalvik cache in Recovery. After that, don't know what else to do.:crying:

EDIT: Actually, I see now it has stopped cycling on and off. Maybe I just need to be patient and let it load, but it's taking a long time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
I moved it into system/app/ and set the permissions but no go.

Maybe we need a seperate Samsung account apk?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey guys. Just a quick fyi incase some of you didn't read my thread about ota system on hold.

Apparently on the 25th sammy will be doing maintenance on their systems beginning at 9pm EST. Thats 6pm PST if im not mistaken. Basically just make sure you get your download on before this time just to be safe.

Out of curiosity, what build are you guys with the fc issues running?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
JB
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Do people rinning the official stock build have fc problems too? If not you may need to get an official release.

Just a shot in the dark there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GhostIsBaked:
Can anybody confirm that its working on stock before I Odin back?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willham:
I'm rooted running wicked V5 Rom and media hub is running perfectly on my phone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I'm on Stock Rooted UVAH2 by mrRobinson. Everything I've tried so far has not worked. I called T-Mob already and asked it I could download through the Browser by singing into my Samsung account on the phone and they said no. I'm wondering if it could be because I'm rooted? Haven't tried temporarily unrooting via OTA Rootkeeper yet. Three more days to get this solved, the clock is ticking, lol!

EDIT: Now that was odd. I temporarily un-rooted opened MediaHub and it started to load. Then it gave me a toast frame saying there was no wireless network connection and to try again. Of course, its back to looping on and off.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm on Morphic's Trinity Alpha7 kernel for stock Samsung ICS xxxLH2 and am about to flash Alpha12.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shrty4luv:
i'm on the ota stock with root and get a login fail too...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I've never gotten any option to sign in. It just starts loading, then closes, loads again, closes... So, why am I not getting any option to sign in when I open MediaHub? Maybe I should try uninstalling the app, clear cache and dalvik, reboot and run for a while without it, then reinstall.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shrty4luv:
if i'm correct,your not going to get a sign in until you try to download something,try guys with kids...that free...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
I see, so it needs to actually finish loading for me to get to that point. Well I've uninstalled it for now and will try reinstalling tomorrow.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FlyingsCool:
You guys are probably going to slap me around, but I really kind of like Media Hub. Only problem I have is why so few movies in HD? I won't watch movies in SD. But their movie rental price is ok, better than renting movies on FIOS, and they offer free stuff. And their movie selection is better than Netflix for new movies.

Overall, there doesn't seem to be a single good movie rental service out there, plus, they're all competing and getting better. In the meantime, Media Hub doesn't seem half bad to me.

And without this promotion, I don't think I have ever would have used the app.

I'm rooted on Widchild's deodexed UVDL18 leak and I had NO ISSUES opening Media Hub, signing in, or downloading something.

Those of you on AOSP derivatives (CM, PA, AOKP) Media Hub most likely will not work. It probably relies on TW framework to work.

Try a full wipe. Then after you sign in... Isn't there a notification for you to sign up for a samsung account? That's what I did and all good.
