Google Play 4K Movies

I rented Blade Runner: Final Cut in 4K and the picture was very pixelated. I don't think the issue is my internet connection because Fellowship of the Ring 4K has no problems.

What did you use to play it? For instance, Roku can't play some 4k Movies through Google Play. No idea why

I used the Google Movies app on my Sony XG95 4K tv. I bought Fellowship of the Ring and it has no problems. I'm pretty sure they are 4K but there is no way to check the resolution in the app.

I found that my TCL Roku can't play some movies in 4k if I use the Play Movies app, but if I stream it to my TV via Chromecast Ultra it Play Store 4k.

It's a rights issue that I think is studio/specific app on that TV type (or OS).

I just found that issue on a few movies the other day.

I'm gonna buy the new Chromecast with Google TV to run all smart TV stuff now, it's better and Apple is adding their app to it too
