Play Store showing only apps? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys,
I was wondering if your Play Store app shows only apps for you, or do you also see books, music and magazines.
Mines shows only apps, tapping the Play logo doesn't do anything:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I go into browser on my pc, I see everything there:

Although here in Germany we only see apps and books usually I can approve that I could see both an hour ago and now the books pattern is gone.
Edit: back again

I had to reset to factory the phone, in order to get it working again.

I had the same problem
I had the exact same problem on my HTC One S, which by the way is an amazing phone, but I could solve this without factory reseting it. One of the things I did was deleating the cache of the google play store. If this doesnt work you can deleate all the data of the store without deleating other files on the phone, and I think that should solve the problem.

I haven't experienced that problem on any ROM I've tried. Are you in the US? Or are you using a VPN server or proxy server in another country?

It's not a bug, it's a feature. I wish it would show only apps to me. It is very annoying to see books and songs in search results for "angry birds" or whatever.

BBC News app on the Nexus 7

My Nexus 7 will be with me by Friday but I'm dying to know what the BBC News app looks like on it. Does it show the phone interface or the tablet one? I've scoured the internet to no avail.
Thanks
It says its unavailable and doesn't let you install it unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply. What a shame!
Give it a few weeks and I am sure there will be a solution, plenty of brits will be buying this tablet for sure.
I just tried the BBC News apk from my phone on the N7. It seems to work pretty well, widgets too. It doesn't rotate to landscape though.
The video links can be played back through your preferred media player.

iPlayer doesn't seem to want to play ball, notifies you to update Flash Player (which is blocked on the market). I already have the latest Flash Player from my phone on the N7, but so far I've just seen the spinning circle when it tries to play content. Will try again later when it's quiet.
The news app uses mp4 instead of flash thats why it works.
Try going to the iPlayer website on a browser you know flash works on.

Threads about apps go in the Themes & Apps section
Bump, working fine here BUT no widget. That is only on my phone, and seems to be missing from the Nx7.
Anyone know if the widget can be copied across from the phone (one x) somehow? I have root on both devices.
Failing that a decent UK news widget that can be stretched to a good portion of the screen.

[Q] Play Store Tablet Apps

Hey guys,
So I read an article or two about the Google Play Store being updated and now there should be apps optimized for Tablets on the store front page listed under a tab for Tablet apps. I have yet to see this update, feature or anything related on my Galaxy note 10.1 2014. Anyone have any info on this? Please respond if you do, thanks.
I see these:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

I had the same issue with my old tf700. In settings -> app manager uninstall updates and clear data for the following, Google Play, Google Play Services and Hangouts. Then make sure auto update is enabled and reboot. When the Hangouts update is detected you should get a notice that the Google service needs to be updated. Once that's done reboot again, eventually the Play Store app should get updated.

By default, Google play store will update your apps automatically. You have to change this if you don't want it from happening again in the future every time there's an update available for an app. To do this simply go to play store, settings and change to "do not auto update apps". Keep in mind that apps like Google play store, play services will update automatically without notice. You're phone will be updating lots of apps since you just purchased it. It's recommended to connect via WiFi and take care of this once in for all.
So you're saying they start but never actually update? Try restarting your phone, also make sure mobile data is turned on under mobile networks. And yes it will go much quicker on WiFi.

Look at some of the bigger apps. Sometimes they hang and wait for wifi connection (if you are updating over LTE or 3G). Go into the playstore>my apps. In there find the bigger apps and stop the update on them. I found stuff like GMAIL hang for the wifi update as well as some of the other google apps. Hope this helps a lil.
So thank you all for your help yes I have my data on I made sure in all my settings are correct I get LTE I can use other apps that can use the web but it's just Play Store that we won't work for me right now so I will do what you say and check for bigger updates or just do it over wifi when I get home thanks to everyone!

what do you use to hide you not for everybody video`s

Keep it clean no offensive links ect, we dont want anybody banned, as if anybody on XDA would do that sort of thing, ludicrous
Come on guy`s and gal`s be honest, we have to protect the youngsters out there, what do you use.
I use to use "Video Locker Pro" pro, but the recent files still show, and it says it cannot play my video`s, even though i only use the stock Samsung player and it plays them fine out side of Video Locker Pro.
Also when i first install Video Locker Pro, it will play my video`s fine, but next time it says it cannot play them.
Any ideas, alternatives.
EDIT: file encryption is not needed, the video`s are nothing that is going to get me put away, I hope
Yours with a big grin.

[HELP] SM-T700 - YouTube, video streaming and multimedia content doesn't work

Hi! I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S SM-T700 with Android 6.0 Marshmellow and it has never given me problems, to this day it is still as fast and stable, except that several months ago, I can not play content from YouTube. When selecting a video, the only thing that happens is that it loads for one or two minutes and then it shows me an error message accompanied by a code which is always different in each video (even when I give it to "Press to Retry"). I tried everything, I cleared the cache of certain Google applications (in some forum I read that could work) I installed other roms stock of different versions of Android, I installed custom roms (Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix among others and for some reason, they all stuck in bootanimation), I tried even with other applications that allowed me to watch YouTube videos and nothing worked. In addition, this problem has affected not only YouTube, but Netflix and others. Over time, I have noticed that this problem is even worse, as it does not allow me to play multimedia content stored on the Tablet. When I started a video from the gallery, the application freezes and I have to force the closing. The same with the music application. By running a test, you can sign in to YouTube via Chrome and videos if they are played, but they are not played.
Attached two screenshots on YouTube trying to play the same video. Note that the error code is different even though it is the same video.
