![]() ![]() When you disconnect a Digital Retailer, movies you have purchased through that Retailer will still be available to you in Movies Anywhere and through your account on that Digital Retailer’s service. Here are some things you should know about disconnecting:ĭisconnecting a Digital Retailer account will stop Video Data sharing by Movies Anywhere to the applicable Retailer and its service providers. I can at least say that under normal conditions, the older Disney-only version worked pretty darned well for years. I'm sure it'll all work itself out, but there are definitely some odd things going on here right now. Also, I don't see exactly the same things in Google Play and YouTube. Some older entitlements from the old Disney version are all there in Google, and the new ones form the new account linkages are too, but no non-Disney non-free movies are showing up right now. Like, a while back I bought "Logan" on iTunes, and I thought I saw that yesterday afternoon, but what I know for sure is that Google is recommending it to me now instead of syncing it. Unless I'm hallucinating, some stuff briefly showed up and then was revoked, and then started showing up as recommended purchases. What has synced to my Google account has been. That new purchase has still not shown up in my iTunes library, though the freebies that came from the account linking did. I picked up a dirt-cheap movie from Amazon as a test, and the service noticed almost immediately. My entitlements from all sources seem to have been flowing into the "Movies Anywhere" service just fine. No show-stoppers, but it's not perfectly smooth either. I'm at this point having some level of difficulty with both iTunes and Google. I was advised this morning via chat they were having problems with iTunes. I still think MA is solid step forward overall, but it's really only going to run if everyone else joins in. So while the retailers are the link, it still all comes down to participating studios, which is kind of a pain. ![]() I discovered this when I learned that my collection of Bond movies will not transfer over, even though they are sitting in my Vudu library. Just a note: simply because a title is available on Vudu digitally does not make it MA compatible. The other films apparently are all distributed by Universal, which makes them, currently, both UV and MA compatible: Although the first film, from MGM, isn't UV. The Child's Play/Chucky films appear eligible for Vudu's Disc to Digital. Child’s Play, Rocky 2-5, bill and Ted, just off the top of my head. They just did it when they thought a UV copy might boost sales, and huge swaths of their library, important major films lack it. MGM never really got on board UltraViolet at all. Those movies have theatrical and sometimes foreign home video distribution with those companies. MGM stands alone on digital distribution and does physical through Fox. I guess they figure they can make a lot more money getting people to pay for another viewing license. It would have been a nice bonus to have things upgraded to UHD automatically. I know for sure that yesterday the only option for playback was UHD, so there must have been some kind of glitch with the syncing system that they eventually worked out. Today Oblivion is back to normal with UHD as an upgrade (for an absurd price I might add, that's higher than the 4K disc). Maybe more will follow as the old libraries get remastered. I don't know if that's a side effect of syncing Vudu with Apple. However, I do have one HD movie (Oblivion) that seemes to have been upgraded to UHD. It doesn't seem to upgrade any of the SD movies to HD. Great if so (though to slightly look a gift horse in the mouth, that would make all the extra $ I spent on HD copies in VUDU moot). Has anyone checked yet, if you had a movie in (for instance) VUDU only in SD, does it show up as HD in this/other services? Did, and used them up on a few DVD/BD/Digital copies, since nowhere does anything say whether or not those points go away with DMA. Seems like it's all there now.Īlso, side note: since DMA is disappearing, I did take a few moments to see if I had any reward points left. I had no problems linking iTunes and Amazon, but it was quite a while before the movies loaded. I had no problems w/ Amazon when the article first came out.Ĭant do Apple because I'm not on an iTunes computer yet. This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback."Īs others have said, it's probably a demand issue. Linking to Amazon, I got: "Whitelabel Error Page. Linking Google accounts, I got a different error: "Uncategorized exception occurred during JMS processing nested exception is : Cannot send, channel has already failed: tcp://x.x.x.x:61616" Linking iTunes accounts, I got a "Could not Connect Accounts" error. It doesn't quite seem ready for prime time for me. ![]()
