Interesting. I assumed that in the movie store the "Manage > Movie Updates" menu would show me my purchased movies that had some change applied (such as new audio tracks). But I've never seen anything appear in this list (though I am also relatively new to K). And I also bought The Northman when it was released. So, this raises the question: what is the purpose of the Movie Updates menu? Is it just movies that are now available in a totally new format (e.g. was HD now UHD)?

Dang it, I failed to read that the post was referring to the HD version (not all versions). I have the 4K already downloaded. False alarm.

Hi, do you have any detail on what those improvements were? We bought and watched it on Sunday and as it’s not showing up in our movie updates section, I am assuming we just squeaked in with the new version. But i was wondering if it was a remix or was it adding a new format (e.g. Atmos). Thx.The Lost City (2022) in HDR/UHD from Paramount

Relatively new owner here (last December) and only recall having an update appear under "Movie Updates" under the store browser's "Manage" tab, two or maybe three times.
As both of these titles are in our library, and both show ATMOS this morning, what would normally appear under "Movie Updates?"

Just checking, When you say you get an update stating. Do you mean that if you choose Movie updates from the menu options that this Movie is listed with that info.I got an update stating "Audio & Video Improvements" what does this mean?

I don't know the answer to your question because I haven't yet seen a movie update - unless I am missing something. Thx
I got a notification I have an update when I clicked on it this movie showed up and the description was "Audio & Video Improvements".
Hmm that reads as if it has automatically updated the movie for you. Is that right? I didn't know it did that.
I assume it would list them out in Movie updates and you would need to process that by clicking on something. Not a problem, sounds better to me. The only thing I would be keen to know is what the changes were, which is I guess your question too. ThxI applied the update it wasn't automated. Yup, I also would like to know what changed.Hmm that reads as if it has automatically updated the movie for you. Is that right? I didn't know it did that.
No, we don't auto-update at this time, because many times, customers aren't interested in the specific update (e.g., I will not be taking an update that added Portuguese subtitles, because that's not important to me. Someone else may find that update very welcome.)
"Audio & Video improvements" is basically a way of saying that we've done a fresh encode of the movie. That may have been done because we got new assets from the studio, or because we identified a tweak to the encoder settings that would produce better results. These are often pretty subtle -- updates that we make so that we always have the best possible version available, but perhaps not significant enough to warrant downloading a replacement. On occasion, these may be prompted by some specific issue that we either identified ourselves or that was reported to us. That's comparatively rare.
I hope that helps!

By the way, right now, flagging a movie as updated is at least partially an automated process. I believe there is some discussion about adding the ability for our content team to suppress notification of "Audio & Video Improvements" updates when it's a minor tweak, so that people aren't unnecessarily downloading a movie where they're going to see no difference.
me too I suspect.
