Vudu App not playing movies on my Vizio TV (P65-C1)

Same problem...did soft restart, worked for about 10 minutes and failed. Same on 2 different Vizio TVs. No issues on any other brand TVs.

Guest repliedHello All,
Vizio is aware of the problem that started with their recent firmware rollout. We're working with them on a release schedule and hope to have a fix rolled out asap. When we have more information about the timeline, we'll provide an update.
Thanks,
Dan.

I am having the exact same problem and it all started when the Television did an update. This is something to do with Vizio updates that mess up the VUDU app.

I just received my vizio tv for Christmas and it only worked for ONE DAY!!! Evidently this is a big issue, thinking about returning my tv to get another brand. Any suggestions?
My signal for internet is great, it?s the vudu app and watchfree app that is not working. Very irritating and disappointing. I tried everything that VUDU suggested in their post, STILL does not work.

Widget version 7.4.25Originally posted by DanielH View Post
I'm interested to know what the widget version you're seeing when you launch Vudu. Currently, there is an issue where a network error is seen after trickplay, but starting playback and resuming shouldn't be an issue. Are you still on widget 7.3.20? The updated app should have resolve that problem. Please let us know the widget version (Settings-->About) in Vudu and if you're still having the same trouble after a hard power cycle.
I should also mention in the meantime, if you cast playback to the TV you shouldn't see the issue. Not convenient, but a work around where you won't run into the issues you're seeing.
Thanks,
Dan.

i can finally watch 4K movies but still can?t play from a playback resume and the app crashes all the time when I try to resume a free watch movie.

Yes, these are the exact messages I get. I have tried talking with VUDU and they keep telling me to do the same things - power cycle your TV, uninstall the app and reinstall (how do you do this on your tv?) I've done their suggestions but the uninstall. It doesn't help.
Side note- I can cast my movies from my phone to the TV just fine. ??? But app itself in Chromecast is definitely dead. Ive lost all hope at this point.

This exact same thing is happening to me only on my Visio tv.
?I can see trailers and commercials, but when I try to watch any movie I own, I get a Playback Error message. If I try to watch a "Free with ads" movie, I watch the ads, then I get a Network Error message.?
It just started happening this December. Was there a code released pushed this month? It worked before. And my playbacks work correctly on both my Samsung TV and tablet. Can the software for Visio be rolled back to a previous stable working version?

Guest repliedSorry to hear that you're still having issues with playback on your Viziocast. If you don't mind, i'd like to get some logs from your TV when the playback error occurs. I'll send you a private message so we can get started.Originally posted by LoriDD View Post
12-25-2019 ~~ I've followed all of your directions, including the Soft Power Cycle, but haven't had any luck fixing this. I have photos of the error, the app settings, and my vizio tv settings. Trying to attach here. (I can't believe Santa hasn't stopped by to fix this. He should be done with Xmas by now! LOL)

I also noticed that when I purchased the 4K videos on sale today from Vudu, I got an error message with each one that said I was not set up to watch 4K even though I am and always watch at hi-rez if my connection will allow it.
If there are any other tests you need to help me fix this, please let me know ASAP. I'm using my tablet for now, but I wanna watch TV!
I really hope you can fix this! Lori

If it's possible could you gather some information for us so that we can help troubleshoot?
We would like to see your Firmware version. Press Menu>System>System Info>Version
Launch Vudu and head to settings. What is your Widget and player versions?
Another thing would be to update your smartcast and give it another try. To update the smart hub do the following:
- Change input to HDMI1, wait 60 secs, and change back to SmartCast.
- Do a soft power cycle (MENU > System > Reset & Admin > Soft Power Cycle)
- Unplug, wait 60 secs, plug back in and start.
- Launch Vudu and try and reproduce the issue.
If you're still able to reproduce this issue after trying these steps, could you send me a picture of the error message?

Looks like Vizio released an update that caused this issue you are experiencing. We are hoping Vizio can release a fix for this sometime soon.

What's the latest on this? No responses in the last 4 days. It still doesn't work on the Vizio TV. Luckily, I found a work around on casting from my phone. Still annoying though considering that it used to work.
