I tweeted them and they said reset your router, device and check for app updates to see if that works.

Obviously they have no idea of any app issues.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I just reset my my smart TV earlier today (the HBO Max app sometimes gets hung up), and it is still listed in HD so clearly there is an issue, not that I was planning on watching it today. FWIW, the two remaining theatrical movies are also only showing up in HD.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I’m getting a lot of buffering and low picture quality tonight. Maybe they are having some sort of server issues and took away high quality versions.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I’ve been getting that for a while now. My wife and I have been binging Happy Endings, and the first 10 seconds or so of every episode is super blurry. I figured it was a decision they made between delaying the start by a second or two vs starting it faster but with some initial blurring.
That’s just my speculation; I don’t really know how any of this works.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I went into the app yesterday and my queue(My List) was gone. After searching for it, I thought they changed the app and moved on. Then like 10min later it was back where it normally was. Maybe it just didn't load initially? weird.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

There were reported outages yesterday: https://deadline.com/2021/05/hbo-max...es-1234764045/

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

FWIW, the movies like JL, WW, and some others are still showing up as 4K/Dolby Atmos/Vision on my TCL TV. Not sure if it’s related to the outage or not.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

Atmos is finally working through Airplay now- it was only getting Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 before. I was almost going to get a new Chromecast to fix this (since the native Roku app throws up crap on the screen during the last seconds of movies if they have any extras- It doesn't do that on Chromecast and on my years-old model that only does 1080 it was getting Atmos through that).

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Friends Reunion dropped. Fans of the show should enjoy it a lot. They also have a few short extras.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

^ is it good? Hokey at all? I didn’t love Parks and Recs...

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

just finished it and it was pretty good

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Is it like them being all interviewed? How long? I’ll give it a watch just curious on dets...

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

It's 1:45. Here's the trailer

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

It's under 2 hours. They show a lot of outtakes/bloopers. Kaufman, Crane and Bright appear as talking heads throughout. The cast tour different sets of the show. Special appearance by the beam that was removed since it got in the way. Special guests show up.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Snyder Cut is back in 4K DV, but no Atmos, just standard 5.1.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Anyone having problems with HBO Max on Roku tonight? I keep getting an error message: Close HBO Max An unknown problem has occurred. Please Contact your tv provider. I don know if they’re just overloaded tonight from everyone watching Mare of Easttown and the Friends Reunion or what….

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I saw on Twitter that a lot of people are having problems with HBO Max tonight.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I'm glad it wasn’t just me. I luckily have HBO Max via Hulu and was able to finish Mare of Easttown on Hulu. If it was a HBO Max original, I wouldn’t have been able to watch it on Hulu. I hope Hulu can get the full HBO Max roster one day instead of just the HBO content.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

Titanic is on HBO Max? :confused: Oh I see what they did.

I didn't watch any content but I opened it and looked but nothing seemed odd. I use a Fire Stick.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I had no issues and watched the early west coast feed.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

That Damn Michael Che is one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. Hopefully it gets renewed but I've heard pretty much no reaction to it.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

The Sesame Street portion of the roku app is all fucked up. It's skipping in a weird way where you can't select seasons. Sigh...sent them an email.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I noticed yesterday that Conjuring 3 is supposed to be in Dolby Vision but it never switched over to the DV, it stayed in HDR10 mode along with ATmos. I also noticed that the ZS JL Justice is Gray version is in full 4K DV / Atomos, while the regular ZS JL is in 4K DV and standard 5.1.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I watched Conjuring on my TCL and it came up showing DV/Atmos

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I'm still have trouble with the Roku app. I was trying to watch episode 4 of Hacks and it wouldn't play. It would just refresh the page for that episode. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app to be able to watch it.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

PS4 app crashed four times trying to get through an episode of Dr Who.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I'm on the new Apple TV4K.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

That's why it was glitchy yesterday, before the fix. I was watching something in HD and the setting kept switching to HDR over it. It's back to normal now. :confused:

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

Apparently they released a bad update that really messed up the Apple TV HBO Max app. Rewinding was also an issue apparently.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

The Harry Potter movies are back. But they bail again at the end of the month.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

A bit disappointed that those of us who took advantage of the six month promo back in Dec/Jan aren't being offered anything to reup.

There is the annual 16% pre-pay promo discount (no ads) currently making the rounds and I guess I'll jump on that offer ($150).

Still, thought there'd be a slightly better offer for those now hooked as a retention method.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

It's a great service and has tons of value for it's price. I think it's absolutely worth $15/month. They always have new stuff coming in.

But, I know most of us don't have unlimited time and money for entertainment, so we have to be choosy and penny pinch at times.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

Content wise I would keep this if I could only keep one.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

Considering I've been paying $15/mo for HBO for years and years... getting this with extra content for the same price is a bargain.

Re: HBO Max — Warnermedia streaming service
 

I still have it free due to my AT&T Fiber subscription. It is probably my most used service right now, it has a lot of content to parse through and it's generally pretty high quality.

re: Max — Warner Bros. Discovery streaming service
 

I only learned of the dumb update that broke the HBO Max interface w/Apple TV this morning, but it explains why last night I could not rewind/fast forward, and the next episode box would get stuck as I was watching Hacks. I was really annoyed but I just tried HBO Max a few minutes earlier and it does appear the issues are resolved. I was able to rewind/FF the episode of Hacks that I was watching so that is cool. Speaking of Hacks, I started binging yesterday and had to remind myself of the time before stopping for the night. The show draws you in to the point where you want to know what comes next. It helps that no one in the cast is hideously unlikeable. The two "Hacks" that make up the main characters on the show also have good chemistry with each other.

It can't be worse than the movie, right?
