Vudu Questions

[Bob Schlapowitz]

Here is my Vudu question.

I noticed Clerks 2 is not available for sale or rent on Vudu, but it has a listing, so it must exist in their database (or whatever.)

If I purchase it from Prime, which I have linked to my Vudu account, will it port over to Vudu?

Nope. Clerks II is a Weinstein Company title, it's not part of MoviesAnywhere, so it won't port in/out of any retailer. It seems a lot of their titles are no longer being sold on Vudu but are elsewhere. More likely a contracts/license issue between the two.

The Weinstein Company assets were bought by Lantern Entertainment who has yet to sign a distribution deal for the films.

All of them? Because most are still for sale on Google Play.

Yes. Google Play and iTunes still offer most of the former TWC films for sale. However it could be a licensing time frame as you mentioned. Because once Lantern begins formal distribution, these will be replaced by “new” versions.

Any advice one how to solve a TCL Roku TV telling me "Country setting USA does not match location nil"?

For the past two years it's been working just fine with my new ISP. Till now.

Question: is there a easy way of determining what title's in my VUDU library are UHD, without hovering over each one of them?

I sent support ticket, no answer as of yet.

TIA

run chrome extension vudu catalog and it will give you a spreadsheet of your titles you can sort by quality. other than that, no.

Did anyone else experience several of their films being downgraded from HDX to SD on Vudu?

The following films that were originally redeemed on iTunes (long long long ago, when digital copies had to be redeemed by inserting disc into iTunes):

Black Swan
Clash of the Titans
Date Night Extended Edition
Flipped
The Help
Hop
Inglorious Basterds
Sucker Punch
Unstoppable
Wanted

These were at one point HDX I think when iTunes did the automatic upgrade, but now they got downgraded in Vudu

A few others have reported XML downgrades in Vudu; but that MA still shows HD - not clear what is going on or what ultimate status might be. Oddness.

Once you figure it out, create a list to keep them all together. That's what I did.

8 of mine downgraded in Vudu. 7 out of 8 still show as HD in MA and iTunes.

There is a big discussion going on about it on MeWe under the DIGITAL MOVIES (4K/HD/ITUNES/MOVIES ANYWHERE) group. I recommend digital movie collectors join there as one of the moderators constantly puts out important information like this.

If I'm not allowed to post this or it goes against the forum rules, let me know and I will delete it.

I checked the list of downgraded titles that was posted against the ones I have, and mine are all still HD (Clash of the Titans, Sucker Punch and Wanted). So this doesn't seem to be a universal change yet.

[FrodoBagginz]

A few people on MeWe have reported their downgrades have been fixed. Check yours to see if they have been fixed.

When I try to redeem these via disc in Itunes they only redeem at SD? Anything I'm doing wrong/not doing?
