Have this app installed on my sony tv and despite having my ultraviolet account linked, it will only play Sony Pictures movies. If I try to play a non Sony movie, I get "Error: Oops! A connection error has occurred. Please reconnect to the internet and try again." With the options of 'close' and 'try again'. The Sony Pictures movies play great, however.
The app used to be really good, but ever since Movies Anywhere became linked with Sony movies, the app includes all of the other movies from other studios, making it a clunky mess. To add insult to injury, the movies and TV shows from other studios besides Sony won't play in the app. What was the point of integrating everything if you cannot even watch all the other stuff? Please fix this app. It is really good when it was working properly, but the last update was all the way back in December. It has been 5 months and nothing has been done to resolve the issues. Have you abandoned the app?? UPDATE: As of 11/10/18 still no update to the app. Still no correction, nor communication. The app is as good as abandoned by Sony. Doesn't look like anything will come of this. Therefore, I have changed my star rating to 1, which is a real shame.
Started using the app to get 4 free moves when I got my Bravia. The app is great, plays high quality 4K with little to no buffering. The 10 min preview is a great way to sample movies in 4K. The layout is one of the best I have seen in streaming services.
The least useful error message of all time ("An error has occured, please try again.") is the only thing you can watch on this. (XBR65A1E)
Brand new TV and all apps work fine/connect to the Internet except the Ultra app. App immediately goes into a "Error" screen and says "Oops a connection error has occurred' Please reconnect to the Internet and try again. I have all the latest firmware/software and app updates and every other application connects to the internet without any issue.
Can't even log in because it considers my existing Sony Pictures account E-mail invalid because it has a "+" character in it.
XBR-65Z9D this app crashes 3 or 4 times when opening. After that, playing 4k movies is painful, constant buffering 20-30 times per movie (hard line to 100Mb internet). HDR Picture is actually pretty good but audio is only 2ch stereo. UPDATE: latest version 1.0.8 symptoms have changed... In stead of the app crashing at startup, it just gives "playback error" when starting to play a movie 2 or 3 times. But once it's actually playing, there is still sever buffering problems.
Have a new XBR-65X930D and I'm unable to get through the load screen. Brings up a network error and I have been on the phone with Sony support with no luck. Hope that this can be resolved with an update.
App cannot play 4K movie on new Sony XBR65X750D with the latest firmware installed. Multiple retries to play the movie eventually hang the entire TV requiring a power cycle.
The app works fine as long as I don't try to go to my library. If I go there, I get stuck in an endless loop of error messages that give me the option to "retry" or "go back". Either choice immediately presents the same two choices. The only way to close the app and escape the loop is to reboot my TV. Leaving to do something else works, of course, but then I'm locked out of using this app until I reboot the TV.
Well I just downloaded it and I haven't had much time with it but the movie Pixels looks really good in 4k.
The application is very well designed, easy to use and overall a really great platform that shows promise. Content looks really good, especially if you venture into other TV picture modes such as "HDR Pro" or "Cinema Home." I'm really excited to see where this goes and how the design can help contribute to the future of OTT entertainment.
This is an awesome app! It lets you watch and own 4K quality movies without needing the physical copies. Great selection now and excited to see how it grows in the future!
Why show every movie title I own on Ultraviolet and Movies Anywhere in "My Library" when I can only watch Sony movies on this app? This app was so much better when I could only see what was actually viewable thru this service in My Library.
