    Video freezes while audio keeps playing

    Just bought the rise of Skywalker uhd version on vudu and cannot play the moving for more than about 35 seconds before the video freezes the current frame and the audio plays on. Playback has no problems so far playing the hdx version.
    I have tested a couple other 4k movies that I own. Spiderman far from home, zombie land double tap, and neither had any problems playing in uhd. obviously internet is not an issue. I'm hardlined and as said, 4k playback of other movies has no problems

    Device is a samsung
    Model # un65nu8000
    Software version: t-ktm2akuc-1292.1, BT - S

    Vudu versions:
    Widget 7.5.42 (42-2e6e8fbf)
    Player: 312749.53

    Sorry for the inconvenience, we are aware of this issue affecting certain Samsung TV models. This bug is reportedly affecting other streaming services as well. We are in contact with Samsung so they can hopefully offer a solution sooner than later.

      I'm having the exact same problem playing the movie Matchstick Men, and no other movies at this time. However, I don't have a Samsung TV. We've tried it through an Xbox One X and an LG smart TV. Same results.

        Can I get a refund on the movie? I wouldn't have bought the 4k version if I knew it wasn't going to play. And I have no other devices currently that can support the 4k streaming.

          Can you please try playing Rise of Skywalker once again. We have implemented a change that might resolve your issue.

            It seems to be playing correctly now, thanks.

                Figured I throw it out there that I'm having the same problem on the built in Vudu app on my Samsung QLED. HDX works fine, but UHD always freezes and the video player stops working shortly after. I was testing some movies yesterday and some worked and some didn't. I was doing some more testing today and most of them except the Star Wars movies and Spider-Man Far From Home started working normally. But as of writing this, every UHD movie I try freezes after a couple seconds.

                  I'm having this same problem yesterday and today. Yesterday it was Quantum of Solace today Skyfall. I also had issues with Star Wars rise of Skywalker when trying to play in UHD. HD has no problems.

                    Just to keep you updated, we are are actively investigating this with Samsung. And your update is appreciated, it is helpful to list the titles you had problems with to better determine if there is anything about them that is triggering this on specific Samsung models, etc.

                        You are having issues with any movie, or only recent UHD movies? If it's any movie then it is not related to the issue we are investigating - you should contact Vudu support to see if they can help.

                          I am also experiencing this, didn't realize older UHD titles were ok (not sure what qualifies as older) I was just able to watch Lucy all the way through, but I have the freezing with continued audio until finally a playback error...Rise of Skywalker, IT Part II, Dr. Sleep Director's cut all have this issue. Happy to report more as I find them if wanted but I haven't sat around trying to watch movies when they're freezing...because it's irritating. HDX plays fine, UHD in netflix and prime video are fine, normally run to external speakers via optical cable but no change reverting to playback through the tv speakers.

                          Hope this is useful, thank you all for looking into this.

                            Addendum to the above as I am not allowed to edit (?) I have watched all of these movies prior to mid last month without issue. John Wick 3 just froze as well upon testing.

                              I am having the same video issues with the UHD versions of Jumanji: The Next Level and Terminator: Dark Fate on two of my Samsung TVs.
