Skip ahead 2004 breaks Vudu Dolby Vision

Hi

The Dolby Vision update has not be enabled yet (from my understanding) in the Skip Ahead build, but will be shortly.

The system supports Dolby Vision in certain streaming apps like Netflix, Disney +, and Vudu, but it's not yet supporting playback of 4k discs with Dolby Vision through the blu-ray app. Hopefully they will eventually patch an update to do so. But currently,
it does NOT.

Microsoft has released a statement saying that Dolby Vision will only be available for streaming apps and it will not be supported by games. The Xbox Insider Alpha Skip Ahead team which includes myself just started testing it this week. Keep in mind we are
testing updates scheduled for release in 2019. Nothing more definitive and testing can change release schedule to the general public dramatically. And very few TVs support it. Samsung for example will not use it on any of theirs.

You're welcome. I am constantly looking to see updates on when Microsoft will patch the Xbox's Blu-ray App to support Dolby Vision encoded 4K discs. I've become obsessed with how good Dolby Vision looks, for material that was originally filmed in the
Dolby Vision format. I found your question doing just that, and know there is confusion about it. You kinda have to be a audio/videophile to know for sure what works. I can't wait to watch my discs in Dolby Vision, but for now, since almost everything comes
with a digital copy, I stream my purchased movie library on Vudu so I can view them in Dolby Vision. It'll have to do for now... but I'm not happy about it. Netflix's support for Dolby Vision has been fantastic, but it's output on the Xbox is forced into an
"always on" display setting. Also, Atmos had been working well over Netflix on the Xbox, but for more than the last month, if you play content with Atmos on Netflix, it gives you an error. Simply won't play back. I dunno why this started happening, since
it used to work fine, but they will eventually iron it out to work again. Just thought I'd drop that heads up, too.

It is still in test at this point in time. It may come out with the fall update, which has no release date yet.

In other words, as a simple user with xbox one x and compatible tv, I can't be using Dolby Vision until update?

ps Fall update - before december, correct?

If you're not in the alpha or alpha skip ahead preview rings in the xbox insider program you will have to wait, yes.
