Spreadsheet - Known VUDU UV Issues That Need Addressing

[no cable]

I don't know about the physical discs. All that matters is if Vudu enables UHD for a version that you have in UHD in your UV locker or in MA and/or a UHD code that verifies as UHD on MA and redeems UHD on Vudu (which none do currently) - when all of these things align you will get UHD in Vudu. As of now, none do.

*I know it can be confusing, but if you don't have in UHD in your UV locker or in MA - you will not get UHD rights if Vudu enables UHD.

Thank you for your response. I have now figured out that, when I redeemed the code for Leon The Professional through the Sony site, that it was linked out to MA, per the Sony Site. So I do have the movie in 4K HDR through MA, but not through VUDU.

Did you mean via UV? Because Sony has never been directly linked to MA. Or do you have it in MA due to redeeming your code via MA? You can look at your MA transaction history and it will show from which provider (MA included) insert a movie into your MA.

If it was UHD and UV on FN it could port via UV to FN and then from FN to MA in UHD. Lol

I think you meant FN to UV to VUDU to MA. Nothing from UV to FN passes to MA at this time.

Vudu doesn't have it in UHD so it wouldn't port to FN in UHD from Vudu. (I don't know 100%, just my best guess) He redeemed in "2018" on Sony in UHD which was probably hooked to his UV, and The Professional may have been UV on FN at that time - and FN does have UHD enabled for The Professional, but don't remember if UV to FN ported to MA back then. But, now I really want to know the answer, lol. Where's Rex - he would know.

The only way, as of now, that a title goes FN to MA is if the title is purchased on FN. VUDU is the only service the ports incoming titles from UV into MA.

Moneyball 4K UHD has been added.

Well well...the countdown has begun (31 days) to the demise of UV and very few of the issues have been addressed leaving many needing to be rectified.

Those titles that are SD only since the beginning of Vudu and HD that have yet to be upgraded to available UHD will remain at their current status (8/1). These next (31 days) will be a nightmare trying to bring all those titles up to date for something that should have taken place over the course of months and years...it's not going to happen.

Burning question: Vudu will you prove me wrong? If so, it will be the first time this year being wrong and that I can own unlike others.

I don't think this type of rhetoric towards Vudu will solve anything. I'm all in for these issues being resolved, I just don't think this is the best approach. Trust me, I've created different lists over the years. Unfortunately, we are outside looking in. We don't know their processes. It is easy to say these things should be resolved but we don't know how everything operates internally.

Sorry Dunn if this struck a nerve with you...just being honest as to what is obviously not a priority issue.

Vudu anything?

Vudu anything?

I've mentioned this on an earlier entry on this thread in great detail, but save for Vudu importing the entire UV database and retaining it as a reference for future title updates (allowing those that previously owned in UV to get free upgrades when they are available) that there was little chance there would be a cohesive solution.

There are just too many hurdles dealing with the studios to get title updates - especially older titles.

With less than 3 weeks to go and how quiet it has been on Vudu's side I am not expecting much more than already received regardless of marketing rhetoric. I'll be happy go lucky if a solution similar to what I mentioned occurs, but and not holding my breath. And anything else is just not going to prove to be even something that approaches a complete solution.

So I suppose there could be much interesting discussion regarding the merits and disadvantages of digital ownership after UV closes.

For now, us viewers must wait and see and hope for the best.

You could also reach out to the studios themselves via their support systems and inquire about obtaining new MA codes with the proper resolution.


Keep in mind that not all studios will provide replacement codes and those that may provide them also may not provide all titles or be able to provide all titles.

For example, Fox will do nothing at all for you period while WB is very helpful and Sony is mostly helpful.

There are no guarantees on any help and any Studio not participating in MA (or a title not MA) will likely not solve the present issue anyway.

Lorax 1972 (already in spreadsheet) is not only HD at FN it is also MA.

Any chance of these, especially the Lionsgate UHD movies, getting fixed in the next 36ish hours?
