    It's still broken. Chromecasts including the ChromeCast Ultra, the Chromecast built into the Nvidia Shield and the Chromecast built into the Vizio Displays, all do not play UHD or UHD Dolby Vision on the newer Warner Brothers titles such as Justice league, The Batman Trilogy, Dunkirk etc...

      From Vudu engineer on Feb 3rd:

      "I can't say exactly when it will be released, but a new app is in testing now so it should be relatively soon."

      We are waiting on a new app.

      Meanwhile I'm paying extra for movies like mother! because of Atmos on Vudu (versus cheaper on iTunes), but have no way to play them.

        Apologies for the inconvenience. There is a bug with playing new release VUDU UHD content on the Chromecast Ultra. We are working on a fix and hopefully can send it out soon

        Thanks,
        Tam
        It's been almost 2 months this bug exists. PLEASE get this out. Many of us have spent good money here getting these Dolby Vision titles.

          It's beyond frustrating. If it weren't for Movies Anywhere, I would be on the phone with Vudu every day until all of my UHD purchases were refunded. It's completely unacceptable for any software company to take this long to fix a show-stopping bug. Every day that this goes unfixed, my trust in Vudu erodes even further.

            What is Movies Anywhere doing for you? They don't support 4k/HDR as far as I understand......

              My Vudu UHD purchases transfer in UHD quality to iTunes via Movies Anywhere. From there, they are watchable in UHD on Apple TV 4K.

                Ah ok, I don't use any Apple products...

                  I bought one mainly because of this Chromecast issue and because of issues with the built-in app on my LG OLED (see this thread). Both issues have been present for several months with no resolution from Vudu.

                    Millerland...I feel your pain!!! 2015 4K Sammy TV, 2016 4K Sammy Blu-ray Player, & Chromecast Ultra here and not a one will play VUDU UHD tiles, and I have a few. I've come to the conclusion that if these issues haven't been addressed and rectified by now...they never will be. I've moved on to other retailers for my UHD needs and come back here for HDX..sad case I know, but it's real.
