    Vudu App won't play any movie at all


    So, I have also had the issue of buying movies on the app since the NXOE. So, I decided I'd buy it off the website and not the app.

    Now, I have done everything. Deactivated my devices on Vudu, Uninstaller numerous times, hard reset and I get the same error. "Sorry, VUDU movies isn't available right now. Please try again latet. For more information, go to
    http://www.xbox.com/status"

    I'm at my wits end. I know it's part of the NXOE bug, but it's a huge one as VUDU is my main source for movies.

    :)

    VUDU does not play movies

    Can't figure out why the VUDU app will not stream my movies for me. They have always worked in the past, but now when I go to bring up a movie through the app, I get a 'Playback Error' that says 'Sorry, VUDU Movies isn't available right now. Please try again
    later'. Well, it's later and the stupid thing still won't work. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and how to fix it? I've already deleted the app and downloaded it again with the same results.

    I'm having the same problem. You aren't by any chance a preview program member are you? It seemed to start right when I had to do the update for it. Driving me nuts as well as I have 150+ movies and the kids are mad they can't watch their new favorite "Aladdin".

    It's weird because I can actually play bonus content, however can't play full movies or episodes.

    Yes, no matter what I do it takes me 2-3 hrs to watch The Walking Dead, which is only 45 mins long. This totally sucks. I can get better service off of a boot leg site. I want my money back. I bought the whole season up front.

    Same problem, Vudu won't play any movies either, never had a problem on the One S. Google shows this problem going back years.

    UltraViolet

    UltraViolet is the MPAA's answer to iTunes having a virtual lock on digital movie distribution. The quality of the one UltraViolet movie I've watched (Green Lantern) kinda sucks, but Vudu's supposedly got better quality.



    Unfortunately, UltraViolet is fractured across multiple provider platforms. You need not only an UltraViolet account, but you then need an account on a provider platform. Currently, those include Flixster, Vudu, Sony Pictures, Paramount, and several others.



    There are several "catches":



    When you reedeem an UltraViolet code, it has to be locked to a provider. When you get a UV code with a Blu-ray movie you only get a couple choices of provider. So far, out of the seven UV codes I've received with UV codes, I believe six of the seven were
    Vudu or Flixster, and one was Vudu or Sony. As Flixster can download to the iPad, I choose to lock my movies to Flixster and Sony (no idea if Sony has an app, but I know Vudu won't download).



    The Providers do not cross-honor each other's content. Lock your movie to Flixster and you have to use Flixster to watch it. Some providers (Flixster) allow for downloading a local copy for offline viewing. Others (Vudu) do not. Adding to this, not all providers
    are available on all platforms. Flixster isn't on the 360. Paramount and Vudu are, but of course no cross-honoring of content so while the Paramount app can see the seven movies I own, it won't let me watch any of them.



    So as you can see, it's all a big mess. Not all UV codes are usable with all providers. Not all providers offer all UV content. Not all devices can play all UV content.



    If you want to try it, Vudu is offering a free movie if you sign up for both a Vudu and UltraViolet account through their website (you HAVE to sign up for both through their site, so don't make your own UV
    account first).



    I will repeat the same warning I've stated before - you do not "own" DRM'ed digital content. When the servers go, the content goes. Do not consider a UV movie to be something you own. It's a long-term rental, at best. The same goes for all DRM'ed content
    you buy, be it Marketplace DLC, Games on Demand, iTunes movies, or Steam games. If you want to OWN a movie or game, buy it on DVD or Blu-ray. Use UltraViolet, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Marketplace, or PSN as an alternative, not as a definitive source for
    something in your collection.

    Can I use the new kinect voice commands for this?

    Ughh when you put the blu ray in or dvd you can say play disc to watch the movie... and you can say the remote functions like pause and play. I buy all my movies from VUDU its an app on the X1... and i can just pull up my library and play any movie in HD
    without having to put a lame disc in.
