Has anyone sucessfully been able to bitstream DD+ audio to their receiver with the Vudu app? Being that the Netflix app can do it just fine I’m beginning to think:
A. There’s a bug in the app.
B. The app can’t do it at all.
I can get regular DD 5.1 (not “plus”) via HDMI to my Onkyo AVR.
As a general comment about Vudu, the quality seems to be really good especially for streaming but $6 for a rental? This is a hard sell since I can get a Blu-ray from Redbox with even better quality for $1.50.
They have $.99 movies of the day which are pretty good.
Either way the app should be able to output DD+ so obviously it can’t do it. I suggest everyone contact Vudu directly and try to get them to resolve the problem. It’s not like the WD TV Live can’t do DD+, we know it can, the Netflix app can handle DD+ streaming perfectly.
I’ve opened an ISSUE for this if ya’ll want to go “Vote” for it…

eh well 2 things about redbox
-
that’s IF it’s there…
-
you have to drive to one to get it, then drive it back in less than 24hrs.
for me I’d have to drive 3 miles one way. and go IN the store to return it.
that’s getting dressed, driving there, finding a parking spot, drive it home, watch, get dressed, drive it back, go in the store, return, drive all the way back home.
what a PAIN IN THE BUTT!
and I’ve seen better selections at the gas stations.
