    I wonder if they broke something in the process of adding HDR10.

      Please, provide an update of when this will be fixed. Tons of people use Google's chromecast ultra...I would think fixing this would be a priority.

        Any update? Really want to watch Bladerunner 2049 in dolby vision uhd on my chromecast ultra.

          This problem has persisted for at least four weeks now. With this issue, and the lack of UHD content on your service, it's like they want me to go to iTunes.

          C'mon Vudu. You were the hot chick in class but then you sorta gave up on yourself when the new hot chick in class got more attention than you. Get out of your sweatpants and put on that dress and fight.

                Chromecast firmware 1.30 is in preview and guess what. The issue is STILL NOT FIXED.

                This is completely obsurd. I don't care who is to blame for the technicals. This is VUDUs problem! You guys really need to get your crap together. VUDU UHD is completely unusable. I was sold a piece of hardware based on a lie. This is out if hand and needs to be addressed! The lack of caring about getting this issue fixed is really bothersome.

                  Agreed. Vudu has taken my money yet given me no way to watch my UHD purchases. My trust in the service has completely eroded over the past few months between this Chromecast issue and the LG app issues. They used to be a leader in digital streaming, but not anymore. Their silence on these issues is deafening. Time to look at iTunes and Apple TV, I guess.

                    So, I stepped away for a while and came back to discover that we've now retrogressed to the point where DoVi is no longer working with the Chromecast Ultra? Didn't we fight this battle last year? Not working since around 12/20, huh?

                    VUDU, it's been over a month with no comment from you guys on this (at least none that I can see). Can we please get a comment, even if it's "no comment at this time" to at least let us know it's on your radar? This is kind of a baffling issue. Everything was working fine.

                      It works fantastically!! its only broken for a few titles ( 5 to be exact, in my experience )

                      In fact, Dolby Vision titles on Vudu provide the best streaming experience I've ever seen!! Lego Batman in DV... WOW!!!

                        It's broken on a lot more than 5 titles for me. Pretty much any UHD release since November refuses to play in UHD on Chromecast Ultra. Try the following titles:
                        • Dunkirk
                        • Inception
                        • It (2017)
                        • The Lego Ninjago Movie
                        • Blade Runner 2049
                        • Geostorm
                        • Coco
                        None of them play in UHD on Chromecast Ultra. They only play in HDX. Earlier UHD titles don't seem to be affected. Like you said, Lego Batman seems to play just fine.

                        Vudu has acknowledged the issue but there is no timeline for a fix -- and it likely won't be anytime soon given my experience with Vudu.

                            I cannot get ANY of my UHD titles to cast in UHD. I do not even have the OPTION to cast UHD (only SD / HDX). All of these were casting fine in UHD / DoVi / Atmos prior to the rollout of the new UI/website.

                            Spider-Man: Homecoming
                            Wonder Woman
                            The Girl on the Train
                            San Andreas
                            Mad Max: Fury Road
                            Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow
                            The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
                            Ender's Game
                            Oblivion

                              I tested Spiderman Homecoming and Wonder Woman last night. No problems playing UHD/DV for me. I dont have the other titles to test with.

                                What device/OS are you using to cast?
