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!
