Flixster released an update for its Windows 8/RT app that enables streaming of your Ultraviolet collection. Read on for details!
Flixster released an update for their Windows 8/RT app today that enables streaming of your Ultraviolet collection. Of course, the release notes do not mention this, but I was able to log into Flixster and see my Ultraviolet movies, and to stream one back. This is a welcome addition to the Flixster app, which also can show you movie times and allow you to buy movie tickets.
Ultraviolet is a streaming service that is bundled with Blu-Ray disks and allows you to stream back content over the internet if the studios grant you streaming rights. I find it to be a very handy adjunct to iTunes digital copies,
Here is a screen shot of the release notes:
I really wish that Microsoft required a real release note; these notes don’t mean much. However, I can confirm that this release now supports Ultraviolet streaming, at least for part of my collection!
Jim, is it possible that your release notes were somehow cached… I see mention of this in mine… If you end up being able to refresh the release notes it seems fair to update the post…
I think the response to Flixster including streaming of ultraviolet movies is “BULLSHIT”.
