Just set up Chromecast with Google TV and Google Play Movies & TV library is completely missing.

by joehooligan0303

I have a large library of content in Google Play Movies & TV and it doesn't show up under the "library" tab on Google TV. Even when I search for a movie that I own inside Google's infrastructure it doesn't give me an option to watch via Google Play. Instead it tries to get me to pay for some other service to watch it (Hulu, HBO, etc). If I manually go to all apps and open the Google Play Movies and TV app all my content is there. Basically there is no way to find or play my owned content via the normal Google TV interface. It is only accessible if I manually launch the old Google Play Movie & TV app.

This is super frustrating as this is one of the main reasons I wanted this Google device is to watch the large library of content I have paid Google for.

Don't forget you can see your library inside of the YouTube app.

I have the same problem and I was on the phone with Google chat for over an hour and nothing fixed it, I am supposed to get a call today or tomorrow. I have also noticed that if I search for a movie I've purchased it won't play because it tries to get me to buy it and then I just get an error. Also Netflix is the only app that is showing up in the continue watching section...I will keep you posted and I will comment with the outcome of my call.

Have the same problem. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. 3 restarts and 3 factory resets. Now it's showing.

Try restarting the Chromecast. I didn't have the issue you are having. But I did mark what apps I wanted it to suggest to me and it didn't update until I restarted it. There is an option to restart it in settings. If you are already logged in with the correct email then I'd say try a restart.

Downvote for pointing out a bug I'm having with a new device...Reddit keeping being reddit.
