Help Allshare & Google Play Movies

Hi,

I used Allshare the other night to stream a movie to my Samsung TV, I used the "Video Player" that came loaded on the 10.1 Note which had allshare button on it and watched a film I'd previously ripped from a DVD, all worked excellent.

So last night I told my wife how well it worked and we settled down to watch Argo that I'd rented from Google Play Movies. So I started it running then tried to find how to allshare it to the TV- no luck, she was not impressed with my 10.1 screen, she wanted the 32 inch! no pun intended.

I also tried to download a Google Play app to the TV, it has Blinkbox and other such providers but there does not seem to be a app for Samsung TV to watch movies from Google Play.

So, in short I think I will not be renting movies from Google Play unless I can watch them on something bigger. Can anyone tell if I'm going wrong somewhere?
