When did digital copies start porting to Youtube?

[pitmosher]

ive never linked my movies to anything youtube related.

infact, my youtube account has a completely different email than my vudu, etc.

ive noticed this about 2 yrs ago. when I purchase a movie from google play,

it auto transfers to my youtube purchases account.


I like it, because I use apple tv, so I can access all my iTunes movies, and google play movies. (only bad thing is my apple tv doesn't have VUDU app)

Just FYI - There is a Vudu App available for the newer models of Apple TV. I recently upgraded my original Series 1 model to a 4K Apple TV and it is wonderful.

It is not a result of Movies Anywhere.

I noticed over a year ago that all my Disney movies were linked and viewable on my YouTube account. Noticed back then like you did with the number next to purchases and when i clicked all my Disney movies were there. Again I noticed this a while ago, way before movies anywhere.

I think it was a result of having iTunes linked to google play. I had an iTunes account and google play account at the time but only iTunes was linked to my DMA. I did have iTunes n google play linked though. So all my Disney iTunes was viewable.

That was Disney though, which was the original Movies Anywhere (under the name Disney Movies Anywhere).
From my experience: my YouTube account used to have just all my Disney movies from DMA. Thought that was a neat perk of DMA that the others didn't have. Right after Movies Anywhere started and I set up my account, sure enough, my entire MA collection was there. I don't have iTunes either, so it couldn't have been that.

YouTube has much better picture quality than Google Play but it's only got stereo audio which is a shame.

I don't understand why they don't just fold the two together similar to Amazon and their Prime service. Add Family Sharing for videos to YouTube along with the option for 5.1 audio, YouTube already has 4K.

Maybe the audio thing depends on the device you’re using. I’ve been trying movies on a PS4 and everything I’ve tried so far plays at least in 5.1.

I do get constantly booted out of movies after 3 or so minutes of playback for “troubles with licensing”... :/

Weird, same thing happened to me today with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Never happened to me before, even with that specific movie.
