What is happening with Flixster Video?Effective August 28, 2017, Flixster Video in the US no longer offers streaming or download of video content and will cease providing digital copy code redemptions. Here is the Q&A about what Flixster users should do now. Flixster goes on to say “Flixster Video customers can still redeem codes and access their UltraViolet video collections by linking their UltraViolet accounts to Vudu, another UltraViolet retailer.” So the good news is you will still be able to access your movies just not on Flixster.

Thank you for visiting! If you’d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website:įollow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.īuy our Film Stories and Film Stories Junior print magazines here. The digital equivalent of that is happening right now. That’s a flat-out basic, isn’t it?Īt least in the VHS days, nobody would ever knock on your door and take your film away. If users are to have confidence in digital video services, then if they’re sold a film as a digital download, it has to be set in stone that they will have permanent access to it. Flixster strongly advises that users start this process as soon as possible. I’ve now got to go and click on over 100 individual titles to start the transfer process of the films I am allowed to keep. I have contacted Flixster support and will keep you posted as to how UK users will be compensated for the films that – through nothing other than corporate shenanigans – are no longer available. Through no fault of a user, they’re going to lose access to films that they’ve legally bought and paid for. And all I’m offered is a link to customer services, where the onus is on me to follow this up, else come December, that would have been that. Rather, they’ve worked hard, but a dozen films that I’ve legally bought aren’t mine to watch anymore. No ‘you’ve lost access to this film, can we offer you another instead’. We have worked hard to ensure that as many Flixster Video titles as possible are available for migration, but unfortunately a relatively small number of titles will not be available. “ There are several possible reasons for this, including licensing issues with the applicable content provider, the expiration of certain content rights, and that Google Play does not support television content in certain countries. “There may be instances where a video in your Flixster Video collection is listed as unavailable for migration to Google Play. Rather, I’m directed to a help page that reads: No individual explanation is offered as to why they won’t transfer. UPDATE: Here’s every legally bought title we know of so far that Flixster UK users are about to lose. These include Rebel Without A Cause, the first three Mad Max films, Hidden Figures and the recent A Star Is Born. On my list of 148 films, there are 12 listed that aren’t supported, which hardly feels like ‘the vast majority’ transferring to me. If you look next to your list of films, you get an indicator as to whether a film will transfer to Google or not. If you have 200 films to transfer, you’re going to activate them on Google Play individually and in turn.Īnd beware: there’s a sting and a half in the tail. It’s only a couple of button presses per movie, but the onus is very much on you to do this. The vast majority of titles will migrate to Google Play, but you have to transfer them one by one yourself. What’s more, you can start transferring movies now. At said site, that you can read here, it’s confirmed that the service will shut down on December 18 th 2019. It’s uploaded a website that details just how to go about it.

Our full feature on all of this can be found here.įlixster had announced that users’ collections would migrate to Google Play, and we’ve finally got some proper progress there. Would they still be able to access their movie libraries? Which left users of the service in limbo. Then came the news that Flixster UK was shutting up shop too. The only service that was left supporting UltraViolet in the UK was Flixster Video, and as such, that’s been the only place people could view their films. Earlier this year, the announcement was made that the UltraViolet digital movies locker service was ceasing operation. Flixster users can finally transfer their digital movies to Google Play – but some will no longer be available, it’s been confirmed.Ī brief case of the story so far.
