When yous download a google play movie. What directory are they downloaded in. I desire to endeavour to put information technology on sd carte du jour later that indicate for more space when offline. Although I know its probably not possible. That is fine. But does anyone know where its downloaded and what format ? Oh yah I know internal phone memory but where.

Ok I finally figured out where it is stored. So I temp unrooted my phone made purchase then selected download for offline viewing. And then in the directory in that location is a file

application_4jSa8szMNjs.wvm

so i brought my root back to get into that directory then where i was stumped i figured it would be wmv mp4 3gp or whatsoever with drm protection merely no its wvm I have never heard of wvm. then anyways I moved the wvm file to a different directly. Temporarily unrooted my phone . So went into the google play movie app and it said that the download was missing. then i know I have the proper file. Now my question is does anyone here know annihilation about a .wvm file ?

I use MX Player to sentry the WVM files merely I am looking into others equally well.

I use MX Role player to watch the WVM files but I am looking into others as well.

Thank you...

Im messing around with this correct now. Do you have to be rooted to pull out the complete file? Im using AirDroid and I can encounter the file and im attempting DL now. I am not rooted. When I used android file transfer on my MBA i couldnt see the same file. Im hoping AirDroid allows you to pull the file and play it ordinarily. Ill update after its finished DLing.

Plays on Other devices, hands changed file extension

YES! I copied the file from my Galaxy Note 3 (rooted) to my computer, renamed it and changed the file extension from .WVM to .AVI (no conversion needed whatsoever) and it plays using VLC on my Mac. I then loaded the video onto my Husband's iPhone 5 to the VLC folder and information technology plays perfectly as well!

Howdy MrRageMan299,

I also just tried and inverse the extension from .WMV to .mp4 and it plays using the stock Samsung Video Role player equally well as Dolphin jetpack / browser and QuickPic app in the Play Store--> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

No conversion down whatsoever....
