    VUDU 4k HDR on new Google Chromecast Ultra w/ Google TV

    Is Vudu going to support 4k HDR on the new Google Chromecast Ultra w/ Google TV? The app is currently only letting me play content in HDX which is very disappointing

    I will second this (is the same with Movies Anywhere also, but will have to take that up with them).

      That's a bit scary to hear that only HDX works. Vudu works so well with the Chromecast Ultra, not sure why it doesnt work properly with this new one.

        I too am only getting HDX from the new Chromecast, and its not sending a Dolby bitstream either, I get stereo PCM. whew.

          I have the same issue, no UHD on new Chromecast with Google TV. I talked to Google and they said that Vudu probably needs to update their app

            Yes, it looks like much older version of the app than what I have on Android tablet. Hope Vudu gets it updated soon.

                  Vudu has always been notoriously painstakingly slow to update their apps or acknowledge that there's an issue. I wouldn't hold your breath...

                    No comment from Vudu about this?

                      The app was just updated on Oct 14th, and still no 4k HDR support on the new Chromecast.
                      To be fair, in the other thread, they did say they're working on it.

                          There was an app update yesterday to v6.1 but the problem remains.

                            Please fix this Vudu just purchased. While not having 4k playback is a first world problem, it is a very important first world problem. Following.

                              Every review I've seen or read basically calls this device a new gold-standard, and yet no one seems to be raising this issue aside from places like this one, the blu-ray.com forum, or AVSForum..

                              An absolute deal-breaker for me, personally, but, it's also the first time I think I've genuinely realized just how little the world at large seems to care about maintaining their own personal movie collections anymore, and that makes me a bit sad.
