LIR: Vudu continues to be the place to view your movies after the Movies Anywhere integration -- (edited)

Posted by oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut (aka kkuphal) Oct 16 '17, 12:09

1. Your Vudu purchases can be viewed.
2. Your friends UV purchases can be viewed via the UV sharing
3. Your friends UV eligible MA purchases can be viewed because Vudu shares them to your UV sharing.
4. Your MA purchases can be viewed because MA links to Vudu

The only "issue" right now is that only *true* UV purchases share to your friends MA linked accounts via UV sharing. There seems to be a distinction between UV codes registered on Vudu and the MA codes that import but still share to UV friends. Those codes are not pushed to the linked MA accounts of your friends.

Meaning, the best locker to buy codes is still UV because it pushes to both UV sharing (and your friends MA as a result) plus your own MA linked accounts. And Vudu remains the best place to view because it also sees your friends MA and UV purchases where Google/Amazon/iTunes as "MA only" do not.

I don't believe #3 because Disney would not allow their movies to be shared. -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:15 16
- Which is contradiction with what is posted at the bottom -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:16 13
  - I amended my statement. UV eligible MA purchases do carry through from garden -> MA -> Vudu -> UV shared - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:17 12
    - Could you try some different formatting or maybe use words? I'm having trouble following. -- nm - David Oct 16, 12:20 11
      - Let me try: - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:27 10
        
        Okay, that sounds right. -- nm - David Oct 16, 12:30 1
        
        The conclusion then was that your best place to watch content is Vudu (because everything shares to it) and the best place to buy content is still UV - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:31
        
        thank you. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:29 7
        
        The final piece that is somewhat a given in this conversation is that non-UV movies (like Disney) do not share anywhere outside of your own services. - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:30 6
        
        But there is a strange workaround for this. - David Oct 16, 12:35 5
        
        oooo.....you should load me your catalog! -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:38 4
        
        That's why I was asking last night. - David Oct 16, 12:40 3
        
        500 or so -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:42 2
        
        Here's what would happen. -- (edited) - David Oct 16, 12:46 1
        
        ah...thanks But for now I'll pass I'm always buying codes every weekend -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:48
- I have edited -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:16 1
  - Okay, that makes more sense -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:17
