Cannot Play Video - Format not Supported

winston1 — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:38:18 GMT

I downloaded a copy of Spider Man from the Sony Store and started to watch on the tube. When Ireached home, I wanted to continue watching it bythrowing it to my Networked Samsung TV.

When I tried the tablet said this format is not supported. I tried playing the video on my tablet Z but I got the same message. This has happened on several occassions. If they were illegal movies I could understand the problembut these were purchased from Sony themselves. Is there a fix to this problem?

P.S. - Why is there no post location for the Tablet Z?

There is a sub-forum for the Xperia Tablet Z, if you check the main page Under other phones you will see Xperia Tablet Z

Throw may unfortunately not work for files that are DRM-protected but it sounds strange that you could not play it in the tablet either. Are you sure that Throw was not still active? After you select a device for Throw you may have to set it back to the tablet again under Settings -> Xperia.
