Glad to here you plan to support It in the future...
It is run by a group of enthusiastic Kaleidescape owners and dealers purely as a service to this community.
... but we strongly encourage you to register for a full account. There is no cost to register for a full account.
Other differences: right now, Movies Anywhere supports SD and HD, but not UHD.
Hello all,
Yes, indeed, we’re absolutely aware of Movies Anywhere and have been following its development for some time. Because of how the technology is implemented, adding support for Movies Anywhere is not something we can do on our own. We require support from Movies Anywhere, and their focus for launch was understandably on the largest online retailers. We do plan to have support in the future, and we look forward to working with them.
In the meantime, UltraViolet continues to work just as it has. It’s worth noting that there are some differences between the two platforms. For example, some studios that support Movies Anywhere don’t support UltraViolet, and vice-versa. (Where they support both, generally your UltraViolet titles will also become Movies Anywhere titles.) Other differences: right now, Movies Anywhere supports SD and HD, but not UHD. It’s also US-only at this time.
We’ll have more to share at a later time.
(i.e. purchasing a title on GPM or iTunes which would put it into your MA locker) to see if it gets translated into a UV right and becomes downloadable on the K store?
I just bought a title in MA, it showed up in vudu and UV, waiting for it to be visible in K now..
Aha you are correct, I bought in Vudu,, and it was instantly in MA. So the other way around doesn't work?
My movies are transferring just fine between iTunes and Kaleidescape (iTunes <-> Movies Anywhere <-> Vudu <-> UV <-> Kaleidescape), in both directions.
Some examples:
- I purchased Inception (WB) from iTunes in June 2014, and now have it in my Kaleidescape library
- I purchased Casper (Universal) from iTunes in October 2014, and now have it in my Kaleidescape library
- I purchased Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony) from iTunes in September 2015, and now have it in my Kaleidescape library
- I purchased Evan Almighty (Universal), Elf (WB), Matilda (Sony) from Kaleidescape in March 2016, and they transferred over to iTunes once I set up Movies Anywhere
I've never actually purchased anything from Vudu.
