Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Overall, the merge went way better than what I was expecting. I'm guessing the lesser resolutions issue will be ironed out where they can. One thing I was anticipating was the non-MA movies and the few FN ones I bought. Thankfully, at least so far from what I have looked at, they all seem to be there. But I am anticipating a movie or two getting snuffed out. But I have full access again on Vudu, and I can still play movies, so I'm good.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
It took almost no time to merge the accounts. The 30% off coupon is already added to my account.
After way too long comparing my inventories, I discovered the following in our updated VUDU/FN merged collection. Shared below in a Spoiler in case anyone else has same titles and may have same issues.
I received 2 x 500 points at My Universal Rewards and nothing at Disney Movie Insiders.
Good news is that Lie to Me Season 3 that was not on VUDU previously now is there with ability to play. It showed up w/o an option to play when first merged in.
Hoping all the other Resolution Mismatches and wrong Pink Panther movie work themselves out over time. If not, I will be contacting Support.

I wish I knew what my FN titles are.

Spoke too soon. While Lie to Me Season 3 has play buttons, it states "Failed to get playback information" when attempting to watch any of the episodes.

House of D and Life After Beth were 5.1 on Fandango but only 2-channel on Vudu. Thankfully I watched them before Fandango went under.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Ack! You guys have freaked me out...I made a chart of all my FandangoNow titles and I'm slowly going through them all.
So far, nothing is missing and everything is playing...and a few titles have upgraded to 4K as I said earlier.

Transferred all of my FN with no issue. The only unexpected thing that happened was a positive. A few weeks ago I bought the Heat director's cut UHD on Vudu, which is MA. After the transfer, the theatrical version UHD was also in my Vudu library. I pretty much never used FN, so I didn't even know I had that version over there.
Like everyone else, I used the 30% off coupon on Godzilla vs. Kong.
One thing that didn't occur to me: I have a FN app for my Oculus 2. Since the merger it's become literally unusable. I wonder if Vudu will release their own VR app.

History of the World Part 1 is now working on Vudu. Honeymoon in Vegas is still failing.

I have no idea what ported over. Such a shame.

On the flip side, some non-MA movies I bought from the last two Golden Globes 50% off sales (Judy, Bombshell, The Farewell) now show as owned in VUDU (but not, surprisingly, as newest titles owned).

I only bought Movies Anywhere titles on FandangoNOW, but I went ahead and merged my accounts. The only change that I noticed is that I now have two versions of Heat and two versions of The Last Picture Show.

I also got 2 versions of Heat. One was the FOX release and I guess the other was the older WB release.
I also got 2 versions of Don't Let Go. I already had the Blumhouse movie, but it also gave me some short film also called Don't Let Go that's like 47 minutes.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Searching my library, I found that I now have two versions of Denial (2016) and two versions of A Woman's Face (1941)
The second version of Denial is a completely different movie, and the second version of A Woman's Face isn't playable.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Is FOX the newer, bluer release?

I had a few Universal movies show up twice with slightly different running times, turns out the longer ones have the FBI warnings at the beginning and the other ones don’t.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
So still trying to get thought things but they seem to still be in flux as well.
For instance, when I checked a few days ago Don't Trust The B In Apartment 23 only Season 2 was playable, but last night I noticed Season 1 is now working.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
I don't know if this is the result of Vudu getting everything straightened out, but I watched Patriot Games UHD last night. When I open the Jack Ryan bundle (which I purchased on Vudu, so no migration), parts of the UI go black, but it's still navigable. Whatever. But when watching the movie, there was a slight, but perceptible delay between the visuals and the audio. I exited out of Vudu and then resumed. The issue was still there. Anyone else having any wonkiness in their library since the merger?

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Also, I bought the Pink Panther collection on FN a few months ago when it was on sale. When I did a quick check this AM, it appeared that all of them were out there. That is not the case. "A Shot in the Dark" is not on VUDU. I did however get a SD copy of some random movie from 2005 called "A Shot in the Dark".
Now if we could only get a faceplate for the Pink Panther collection....

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
Yeah, I noticed that earlier this week when they emailed me on some of my conversion issues. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to watch that random Spanish language movie, and now it's gone. As for the rest, I got a few of the missing movies, but they still have an open ticket on others.

Re: FandangoNOW is moving to Vudu
The Pink Panther issue is the only issue of mine to be resolved. It's been 2 months since merger and over 1onth since I reached out to them on my issues. I've only received 1 email reply out of over 10 tickets asking for more information. I provided the requested information. Received a reply that it is being escalated. And now silence again.
