Hi there,

 

It's me again. I don't want to be a nudge but I'd like to check if you still have other concerns. Feel free to reach out if you have more — we're here to help!

Hi Jennifer, I did reply but its seems to have not reached you. The Google Play team have reached out so I will see how they help. 

 
At present I cannot play any of my purchases.

Hi JustinP,

 

Thanks for the update. You may check with them why you're unable to play the TV shows or movies that you purchased from the store. Also, you can try the additional steps below:

 

  1. Close and reopen the Google Play Movies & TV app.
  2. Reinstall the Google Play Movies & TV app.
  3. Play a movie on the mobile device using the Google Play Movies & TV app. This is to isolate the issue.
  4. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Movies & TV app.
  5. Reboot your Chromecast and Wi-Fi router again.
  6. Reset your Chromecast.

Keep me posted.

 

Best,

Jennifer

Hi, no problem be not fixed it. No one other than you has responded.

I had already taken all the steps you suggested other than wiping my device and starting a fresh. None of my purchases are playing not just the one I highlighted 

Hi Jennifer. Scrap that last message. So I’ve been awaytravelling but have just got home and downloaded the Google play and tv app. My purchases work on the app but none work on the tv

Hi Jeran, thanks for the message. I have not and to be honest I’m not impressed with Google. I don’t understand why there is no actual google support I can speak to and have it fixed. I’m certain at least one it not two purchases have now expired and I’ve not been able to watch them. I also do not need any basic advice like clear the cache. Turn it on and off etc. purchases do play on the app on my iPhone. But not on my chrome cast which is stuck in the tv

Hey there JustinP,

 

No problem at all, here is how to get a hold of Chromecast Support. You'll just need to get through the prompts, then it will give you the option to talk with an agent either by phone call or online chat.

 

I hope that helps, and if you had any other questions, please let us know.

 

Best regards,

Jeran
