Amazon Fire Stick (Youtube app) doesn't play Google Play content?

I cleared the cache also, and nothing. I then did a pending update of the app, and still nothing. Why can't things just work? I don't need another streaming device! Total bogus!

However, it's kind of surprising that the YouTube app won't play your GP movies either. Playback could be blocked by either party for a variety of reasons. Do you have any DMA movies linked to your GP account? If so, do those play via YT?

I wish I could test this out, but I don't have any. I've tried signing up in the past, but apparently someone used my email address? I need to look into this again.

I would try another streamer, but the others I own are all from 2012 or older. Apparently Youtube is going away on any device from 2012 or older (no longer supported in April). Kind of makes you wonder if the same will happen with CinemaNow, VUDU, Google Play, iTunes, etc., in the future to kill off those services, and make us buy our movies all over again. "We're sorry, but due to licensing agreements, we no longer support this service. We have a new exciting program under development, blah, blah, blah."
