Movies Anywhere - New Digital Movie Locker

DarthWoo

I'm glad Grandpa porked a Chinese Muslim
I finally got my Vudu connected. I can see all my Google Play movies and the free Movies Anywhere titles in Vudu, but no Vudu titles in Google Play.
 
Yeah, I had Blade Runner on VUDU which went to Amazon and iTunes okay, but my iTunes copy of The Final Cut didn’t go anywhere else, despite being compatible with MA. Like someone else said, growing pains. I’m giving leeway with it being the first day and all

So now iTunes no longer shows that I'm connected to MA. My movies aren't pushing to iTunes, and I can't break the sync that's shown in MA.. ugh.

Would they add TV series down the line? I have this copy of Cowboy Bebop on iTunes that would be happy to see transfer to Vudu

I'd just give it time.

itunes is weird for me too, had to do two reconnects and itunes is finally pulling movies in, but not showing up anywhere else. I havent used itunes in years, but have like a dozen disney films there that would be nice everywhere else.

I was super jealous of everyone rediscovering movies on old accounts they had... but actually looking through my entire list it seems like I had ~15 SD digital copies upgraded to HD. So that's awesome.. including some timeless classics like Wizard of Oz and Elf. so YAY!!!!!

My SD copy of Elf from Google is still SD on iTunes and Vudu

Were you disconnecting on an iphone by chance? It says i have to disconnect in iTunes but I don't see the option within the app anywhere.

My copy of blade runner from Vudu took over an hour to show up in Google play.
 
Finally got all of my accounts connected. All movies are showing up except for the Godfather Trilogy that I purchased on iTunes...?

To everyone who's having problems with iTunes, you just have to patient. I had the same problem today and it took awhile for the movies to show up on my iTunes account. It's weird because it was instantaneous last night. I just don't recommend constantly disconnecting/connecting your accounts to see if it refreshes.

Everything connected, but my copy of Dredd hasn't transferred over from Vudu.

Do I just wait and hope? or is it not MA compatible?

dredd isn't compatible. I had a bunch of vudu not pull over due to studios I guess. I'm fine if MA pulls whatever into vudu since i use that the most on my xbox.

That is a Lionsgate film. Lionsgate is not on board yet. Everyone but Lionsgate, MGM, & Paramount are.

It's only a matter of time that they get on board because all the major studios are and UV is essentially being killed off for this.

This seems like a game-changer for people who want 4K. If I am not mistaken if you link up all your accounts, you will get the 4K version (regardless of if you had a 1080p version before) when you look at your collection via iTunes (or whatever Apple device like an AppleTV) as long as Apple has a 4K copy.

This is pretty cool. only 80% or so of my Vudu Library came over successfully, but I gained some extra iTunes movies into Vudu which is awesome for me because honestly I'm just going to keep using that.
 
For some reason my Mad Max Fury Road copy showed up as the Black & Chrome edition on Amazon Video, nice to have 2 versions now.

Ugh, I'm going to buy an Apple TV aren't I? If it keeps me from rebuying even a 1/4th of the movies we have it'll be worth it.

Just checked my account after reading your post & the same thing happened to me. Now I know what I'm watching when I get home.

For some reason my copy of Blade Runner from Amazon has turned into something called Daffy Duck’s Quackbusters on iTunes.
It’s showing up OK in Google Play & Vudu, so I’m not sure what happened there...

I'm not a big fan of these changes. I still need vudu to watch all my tv, and now any disney movie you purchase doesn't give you DMR points. The DMR thing really pissed me off. And is there really no sort options?
 
This is some of the coolest shit. Once I got my new TV last year, I started going completely digital with my movies through Google Play, and for whatever reason, I wanted all my digital purchases tied to just that single library. I was always disappointed whenever movies I wanted would become cheaper on other storefronts, while they remained MSRP on Google Play.

But today, I added like 20 movies to my account because of how cheap you can get some Ultraviolet keys for. The only one I'm having problems with is a key for Transformers: The Last Knight, which redeemed just fine on UV, and is showing up in my Vudu library, but has yet to show up in my Moviesanywhere library, or any other libraries. And I've added movies since then that have shown up.

Gonna be disappointed if that one doesn't go through for whatever reason.

Last Knight isn't movies anywhere. It won't show up. Paramount hasn't signed up yet.
 
I want to connect my Vudu account but it won't let me log in to the damn Vudu site despite resetting my password twice :( Got Amazon and DMA hooked up though - does it require the iTunes client for Apple? When I clicked connect it said download it or open it. I'm at work so I won't have iTunes here.

Only Lethal Weapon 4 transferred over. 1,2 and 3 did not. Vudu shows all of them as being MA compatible. I imagine we will be dealing with idiosyncrasies like this for a while.
 
I don't get it. The account is working fine at Disney.

Also none of my movies from Google Play are syncing either. Like they think I have to buy Elf and Gravity, even though I have them already.

I signed up with the same email address as my DMA, but I get an error saying I can't migrate my DMA account. Anyone else?
 
It looks like only 1 of my Disney movies are available(big hero 6) that's fucking weird. my vudu and Google stuff looks to be here but no clue what that's all about


Edit: nevermind, did the migrate and it worked. Strange how it only picked up The one movie first though
 
servers are being slammed right now. It's going to take some time. None of my movies are showing up in my itunes library. Going to give it til tomorrow before I start freaking out

I think Big Hero 6 is free when you make the account. I don't remember buying that and I have it in my library.
 
Called Apple, we’re gonna do a three way call with a MA rep to see what’s up with the 4K streaming.

I don’t expect it to go anywhere, but it’ll be interesting nonetheless

lol that's where I'm at. Funny thing is I would have never thought I would buy an apple tv.

I was considering buying a 4k roku but, with the free 4k upgrades on itunes it seems like a no brainer. You win this one apple.

Clear your cookies. log out. Log in to the old DMA website. Open a new tab. Login to the new Movies Anywhere website.

This worked for me. I tried and failed previously at least 20 times before I did this.
