Flixster Video is now allowing users to upgrade their UltraViolet movie collection to Google Play copies of the films, pending Flixster’s closure at the end of the year.

If you’re like me you probably have have a large collection of UltaViolet codes that came with your blu-ray and DVD purchases over the last 10 years or so. Until now these were pretty much useless because UltaViolet was largely unsupported in Australia, with the exception of services like Flixster which only offered you the ability to watch these films on your mobile devices, not on your TV. Now you can upgrade these films to Google Play’s far superior service and watch them either through the Google Play apps or YouTube apps (by navigating to ‘purchases’) on pretty much any device from your OLED TV to your Nintendo Switch.
The link will take you to the migration page where you can login to Flixster and transfer any redeemed codes and purchases to Google Play. Note that if a film in your UltaViolet library is not offered by Google Play then these films cannot be transferred at this time.

    Had 2 UV movies and 1 of them was already in my Google Play - anyone know if the Google Play codes can be shared?

    • mr_me450 on 24/09/2019 - 16:13

      Yep, if you already have the film in your library it will display the code instead of redeeming. You could give that code to somebody else and they could redeem it in their own GP library.

        I tried migrating my Flixster copy of 300: Rise of an Empire. Google did not display a code but instead added a duplicate copy to my library :-(

        Where and when is the Google Play redemption code displayed? I clicked Migrate on Flixster and it opened a new tab on Google Play with this popup:

        300: Rise of an Empire Free $14.99
        Promotional Code. Terms and Conditions

        [Add to Library]

        (Promotional Code is text and not a clickable link)

        Clicked [Add to Library] and it added a duplicate.

        • raing3 on 24/09/2019 - 16:59

          The code for redeeming can be shared by clicking the Migrate button in Flixster. This will open a new window/tab to Google Play.

          Instead of clicking the add to library button it seems you can share either the full URL or the part of the URL after code (eg. the redemption code in the following URL is "XXX": "https://play.google.com/store?code=XXX").

          • alvian on 24/09/2019 - 17:01

        I've just finished migrating 47 movies, it did take a while. You'd think there'd be a mass migration button.

        Thanks to the OP for posting the migration link I'd been waiting for an email from Flixster on how to do it. Only had two movies that I couldn't migrate Deadpool & Wolf of Wall St.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/09/2019 - 16:38

      There goes my Chris Pratt movie…

      Yeah that happened with me as well.

    • mj7312 on 26/09/2019 - 15:51

      Me too. I have mixed feelings. I get an extra movie that looks good and I still have my disc version of Passengers 2016 to watch. Yet, I'd still like a digital version for convenience.

      Also on the plus side: I had 84 movies and they are all on Google Play, which is pretty good.

      • mj7312 on 13/11/2019 - 23:13

        On a whim I put the code for Passengers 2016 through the Roadshow portal again and it worked, letting me redeem it on Google Play. So now I have the 2008 movie for free and my paid for 2016 movie too. Nice one.

    Ultraviolet and Flixster are shutting down and even though they are migrating over to Google, it won't support all titles you have in the library.

        1st reply :

        Hello XXX,

        Thank you for contacting Warner Brothers Digital Support and alerting us to this issue..

        We are currently investigating this issue and hope to have a resolution as soon as possible.

        We thank you for your patience and understanding while we look into this.

      • luffyex2010 on 05/11/2019 - 09:23

        2nd response

        Hi,

        Sorry for the delay with your Flixster migration. We have been working on fixing the issues and wanted to update regarding your collection. As you maybe aware, we had some technical issues with small number of titles that could not migrate to Google Play (even though some titles are in Google Play). We have been working hard with others including Google Play to get these issues resolved. Though we don’t have an exact date, we are close to resolving the issues.

        We understand you may have concerns especially with Flixster Video shutting down in December. We are confident we will have these issues wrapped up before the shutdown date so you will be able to migrate all available titles to enjoy on Google Play.

        At this time, there is no action needed from you except your continued patience. We will email you as soon as the issues have been resolved. At that time, you will be able to return to your locker and complete migration for any remaining available films.

        Thank you again for your patience and continued support.

    Speaking of VPNs, this might help some people, or at least a curiosity for idle minds and hands. I noticed that if you use different regions you get different movies.

    UK and US are out, since you're asked to use Vudu and Movies Anywhere (which gets all of your movies onto Google Play anyway).

    In my meagre collection, I discovered that:

    Australia
    - Shaun of the Dead
    - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
    - Lego Movie

    New Zealand
    - As above minus Crouching Tiger

    France
    - Independence Day
    - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

    Singapore, Hong Kong
    - (Unsupported region)

    So have a play around…

      Not anymore. But if you still have codes you can likely redeem them through Google Play anyway through the link on the code slip. This is only for people who have existing UV collections they are looking to upgrade.
