    Apple TV 4K adding Dolby Atmos to many movies, both 4K and HD!!

    I updated to the beta version of the fall update and found that Apple has already added Dolby Atmos to many movies, including some HD movies! I have read that they plan to add tons more. They are just getting started. This is a game changer for me since I am all set up for Atmos. Plus, you can enjoy Atmos even if you don't have a 4K TV yet, which I don't (planning to change that on Black Friday!). This is very good news! Now, since Vudu is my favorite, maybe this competition will spur them to do the same!

    We just need Vudu to get a fix for large library sizes never displaying on Apple TV which makes Vudu on Apple TV useless for me and many others.

      How many movies do you have in your library?

          I have over 6,000 movies, and over 400 different TV shows (not counting individual seasons), and everything shows up on my AppleTV VUDU app. Perhaps it's affected by internet connection speed?

            And also, yes, I agree... adding Atmos to HD titles would be a good idea. I'd still buy 4K over HD, but it's nice to have Atmos regardless of resolution. I love having Atmos audio on my HD titles at Apple, Gravity for example which you can't buy in UHD yet.

              I have 200 MBps and an AppleTV 4K. I know I'm not the only one that's affected by the large library size, because I posted on it elsewhere and was told by several people on Google + that it's a known issue that large libraries don't display on Vudu; looks like not everybody is affected because it works fine for you. My actual count is 5,526 Movies and 281 TV show episodes.

                Very odd, I've only experienced issues when logging in for the first time. Closing (not just exiting) the app and reopening would get everything to load properly.

                  I will try some more troubleshooting tonight. How do you "close" it on the AppleTV as opposed to just exiting? Thanks.

                    Press the "Home" button twice and you will see a list of open applications. Swipe left or right to get to the one you're looking for. Swipe from bottom up on the pad of the Apple remote to close the app.

                    140 UHD
                    838 HDX
                    3 SD

                        I closed all open apps, tried again and it still did not work. I logged out of Vudu, logged back in, and still no. I uninstalled Vudu from the AppleTv, redownloaded and installed it, signed back in, and it still won't display my titles. Only thing that displays are Wishlist items.

                          To clarify my original post, the atmos being added to 4K and HD movies is on iTunes. Apple will be the only provider to offer both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on movies and Atmos can be enjoyed even on non-4K TVs. I hope Vudu will do the same.

                            Have you tried disconnecting MA and UV for an hour? Then reconnect both.

                              No, I have not tried disconnecting UV and MA from Vudu. I'll consider doing this. Any other ideas?
