Movies Anywhere (Formerly Disney Movies Anywhere) - Start Here

[abbottd]

It looks like the DMA app is slowly going through changes today. When I first opened the app this morning, it only showed my Disney movie collection and the settings icon in the top right corner. After a couple hours, the "Movies" icon appeared and took me to the "All Movies" list where I confirmed that my app attempts to link to a "Movies Anywhere" app currently not live in Google Play. Now the Google Cast icon appeared briefly before disappearing again. So, hoping everything will be up and running by tonight, but we'll see.

Just yesterday my Vudu account info page had a link to renew my DMA connection (I checked it to see if the name had changed) but I’m not seeing it now...

Yup. Same here. And all the icons in the app are gone again.

So did Fox and a bunch of other accounts. There's a lot of smoke today...

So does Fox! And a bunch of Twitter pages for certain Universal titles (Get Out, Girl on the Train, Great Wall, etc)

I guess this means the last 54 pages weren't an elaborate dream or hoax. Whew.

I hate how on My VUDU, it lists an option to "Retrieve" HDX Booster Pack on my account settings. What does that even mean?

This thing has to be launching either later this week or early next. Unless the studios are just trolling us.

My bet is that this thing goes live either Friday or next Tuesday.

The Incredibles at DMA launch for linking iTunes and Disney Movies Anywhere

Wreck-It Ralph for linking to Google Play & Vudu when they became available.

Monsters Inc. for linking to Amazon, Microsoft Movies & TV, and Fios when they became available.

But we have only created and linked through our Disney Movies Anywhere account. We haven't created and linked a Movies Anywhere account.

I remember I already owned every single one of them.

At least I should get 2 ("Ice Age", "The Lego Movie") movies this time.

My money is on Tuesday. Typically companies don't launch new services on Fridays. Engineers and support don't like having to work through the weekend.

Ultraviolet and DMA both launched on a Tuesday (Ultraviolet on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 to be exact).

I don't think Disney Movies Anywhere is going to be down until Tuesday. It's apparent their engineer team can take down production websites midday.

I have a feeling this will happen today or tomorrow at most. Simply because the Disney app is already pointing towards MA. They wouldn't do this in prod environment, unless launch was imminent.

I do hope the DMA app itself stays in tact so I can keep (most of the) kids movies separate.

Thats pretty much why Disney will keep it that way.

Have about 30 movies in my D2D shopping cart. Wondering if I should bite since there are rumors of D2D being discontinued. The buzz about exclusive extras and potential 4K upgrades is very exciting.

Interesting point...I wonder if I should get everything on my wishlist from D2D now just to cover myself...
