Doesn’t surprise me. They never even supported it with the Assistant / Google Home. There’s pretty much zero point in onboarding with any Google products anymore.
I got some Google home mini devices and now none of them work to do basically anything of value. Actually I shouldn’t say now, they stopped doing the basic functions I wanted them for around 2 years ago.
Telling it to play a show on TV doesnt work, which is essentially why I bought them. The most they can do now is basic on and off functions. They were constantly going off at random times when no one was talking. They have now become fancy looking paperweights.
I also have Google TV which is slowly becoming worse and worse. I recently bought my kids Rokus because they had all the same functions as Google but without the microphone remote. They were half the price and are working better than my Google TV.
Unfortunately I know them, I recently wiped a pixel 3 and I noticed that the latest ROM still has play music. The latest ROM update is from November 2021 and it still has play music. Almost one year after the complete shutdown and over three years after the deprecation they fucking continued to include play music in the system rom…
It’s actually bad news for me because I bought a bunch of movies living in the UK (moved to Canada now) that I can’t access through YouTube but can through Google Play movies.
Going through support is like dealing with monkeys. They have no idea what they’re doing.
Movies Anywhere is your friend here. Buy a movie from one store, watch it from any other store. Not sure how it works when one store shuts down, hopefully you keep it in all the other stores.
It works with movies you already own, so there’s no need to buy more just to test it out! It’s still not as convenient as some other… less legal… options, but it’s a step in the right direction.
