Brief Vudu primer on adding movies to your library

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Jul 31 '18, 10:44

1 - Link all your accounts. Go to MoviesAnywhere.com, login (or sign up), and link your Amazon, Vudu, Google, Apple iTunes, and FandangoNow. Any titles that are eligible will aggregate here and automatically populate to the other platforms.

2 - Add UV/MoviesAnywhere codes. Digital codes come in (labeled) discs you buy at the store. You can also obtain them via a number of outlets posted here and elsewhere. If you've bought the disc, the code doesn't cost you anything. Codes online can range in price from $2 to $10 or more depending on the popularity and rarity of the title.

3 - Do the Disc-to-Digital (D2D) thing. Used to be you'd have to insert the disc on a desktop/laptop drive and scan the title via the software. Now you can scan the bar code on the package with the app. It geo-locates you to keep you from going to Walmart and just scanning all the discs on the shelf. For titles that qualify, you scan the barcode to a bluray disc and turn it into a "HDX" movie for $2. A DVD will turn into an SD movie for $2. And a DVD will turn into an HDX movie for $5. There are... methods... to game this that I won't post here but reach out to me elsewhere to discuss.

We still seem to have issues in our group. I think I've added some the J can't see, and vice-versa. (and they're not Disney) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 31, 10:58 1
- Often times, disconnected an account from MoviesAnywhere and reconnecting is all that's needed. -- nm - Mop Jul 31, 10:58
aka "Go to a site that isn't any of the ones you use to buy titles and then roll the dice to see if they link." -- nm - Max Jul 31, 10:49 9
- I've never had an issue though I primarily use any UV provider with instant delivery available through uvspider.com search engine -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 11:02 4
  - I bought a movie on Google Play Movies and it didn't spread across MoviesAnywhere because I didn't check first. The logo will tell you. - Mop Jul 31, 11:07 3
    - It's the same principle as checking for UV propagation and the reason I buy almost exclusively UV codes apart from Disney because I guarantee they - oblique Jul 31, 11:09 2
      - Studios are doing everything they can to phase out UV. -- nm - David Jul 31, 11:11 1
        
        And Disney just bought the lone holdout to MA. -- nm - Mop Jul 31, 11:13
- I buy from resellers all over the internet. nothing disney transfers, pretty much everything else does. that's all. I've never been scammed. -- nm - amanda Jul 31, 10:55 3
  - To be clear, Disney titles propagate (i.e. transfer) to all your libraries, they don't share to your buddy's collection. -- nm - Mop Jul 31, 10:58 2
    - I only care about one library: my shared vudu library. I make sure that everything shares. I don't care about where *I* can watch things. I care that - amanda Jul 31, 11:19
    - Specifically because the buddy transfer system is UV only which Disney is not a part of -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 11:00
