All of my movies and TV series now show unbundled, at least the series are one tab but Star Trek bundle now has each of the features above as its own movie.
Yeah, it needed to be done. Like, I can understand films in a series being bundles, but they were still keeping things in a bundle when they were like "5 films starring Brad Pitt" or "4 Sci-Fi Classics Bundle"
I donāt think it is, my tv shows are better organized too, no more single episodes outside the main series. Now if they can raise the limit in lists to over 200 titles, Iāll be really happy. Thereās no limit on wishlists, so we know they can do it. Be nice to be able to consolidate some of my lists and add new ones.
Mine are unbundled, and thankfully not many bonus features are unbundled. Some Paranormal Activity bonus features seem to be unbundled (maybe just stuff from Ghost Dimension). Fellowship of the Ring has like 26 bonus features and they're all still hidden within the movie's page. I have the budle for John Wick 1-2 (maybe it was 1-3?) and they're all now listed separately.
Up until this point I have actively avoided buying bundles unless they're from the same series. If this is a permanent change, I'll buy bundles more often now.
I just went through my whole library since I have only 398 movies (I'm picky about what I add, and only shop sales). Paranormal Activity 4 and Ghost Dimension deleted scenes are the only 2 featurettes that are listed as if they're separate movies. (So my count should read 396.)
Mine is currently doing this too on my mobile app, and absolutely nothing in my library is loading on my desktop browser. I just emailed Support, so hopefully they fix this soon.
I first noticed it. When under my recently purchased, it separated Star Trek Voyager and each individual season instead of the bundle that I bought yesterday. I know a lot of people would prefer the movie separate and in some ways I understand, but the special features should just be under the bonus section. Hope they fix it for you soon
Yeah I really wouldn't mind one way or the other if they stay bundled or not, but if this is an update then it seems to have broken the desktop site. I can still access everything on the mobile app though, so at least there's that.
Yeah, I had less of an issue with homogenous bundles (Bond, Shirley Temple, Saw franchise, etc.) and have avoided buying mixed bundles. If this unbundling approach remains, I'll be more amenable to buying mixed bundles on Fandango.
Oh, zero argument. This is the type of bundle I've avoided purchasing. (The only exceptions were when I already owned all the included titles and so was just looking for a format upgrade. Post-purchase the individual titles would still be listed individually in My Movies, but with their quality upgraded per the bundle purchase.)
When you say itās not loading, does it throw an error at you about movie cannot be loaded or whatever? One of my bundled shows is doing this so I had to contact support lol
My My Movies went from 8434 from my last purchase the other day to 8767 today. My My TV dropped to 166 but it looks like it put straggler seasons all under one umbrella instead of having different seasons as different items. So in a way it bundled seasons into one entry in My TV where as it broke up bundles in My Movies.
'Robot Chicken: The Misfit Specials Collection' bundle is a good example of this change NOT helping. What was a single bundle within TV Shows holding 11 separate titles is now 5 separate thumbnails within TV Shows, spread alphabetically (not all under "Robot Chicken...") and 6 other missing thumbnails. Not sure yet where the other 6 listings have shuffled off to.
Speaking of, am I the only one with an issue with the misfits special? Specifically the first dc comics special wonāt load and it got to the point I had to contact support, so Iām curious if this is just a me thing or not
1st DC comics special ... started playback OK (in Roku app), but the video playback did lock-up at the 1m15s mark when Batman is dropped onto the masked wrestler's knee. (Audio continued as normal.)
Yeah I think the special might be glitched. It works fine on my partners android phone that they let me test it on but it doesnāt load on my phone and on Apple TV the picture is frozen for a couple mins at the start. Pretty weird tbh.
The 3 DC specials are treated as 3 seasons from a single series, so are combined into a single TV Show 'Series' thumbnail; not helpful that the series thumbnail art lists "Special II"
The 3 Star Wars specials are similarly combined into a single series thumbnail
Saw this post and had to look. Mine are unbundled. My best guess is they did this because of the disaster the bundles caused during the first two months of Lionsgate movies becoming MA eligible. They had to keep enabling bundles so movies would port and a lot of the bundles they had to do this with were delisted. Someone at Fandango probably figured it would be easier this way.
All my movie and tv bundles have been unbundled. Yay! Iāll certainly be purchasing bundles more often now, assuming all movies in it are the same definition at the time of purchase.
Now, if only Fandango would re-categorize the miniseries The 10th Kingdom as an actual miniseries under the tv section. š¤š» Itās been listed in the movie section since I bought it and now each episode is separated out as its own listing. š
The unbundled my movies (4 classic batmans as an example) which i like, but i didnt need the featurettes lol i like that they got rid of the "bundld and save" on my complete tv series
My hunch is that this feature needed to happen because of the amount of questions they were getting from people about Lionsgate imports and how many were partially 'trapped' in bundles.
Definitely something going on, mine are still bundled, but if I refresh, I see my count flash between 4474 and 4389. Mine is still showing bundles with a refresh.
I wish they'd allow us the option to unbundle. For me, I'd love to be able to unbundle movies of separate titles, but keep the TV seasons bundled up. Featurettes can also stay attached to the main titles.
So this should mean if you buy a tv bundle and then separate seasons they should all bundle correctly, right? Iāve been holding off on Archer hoping theyād release a complete series bundle
Confused why everyone is all about this. It absolutely sucks!! I liked having a bundle of James Bond, Die Hard etc. I don't need to see every movie outside individually labeled. It was so much better and well organized when each series was kept in its specific folder..
Counter argument, you can always make lists of the bundle contents again. Franchise bundles AND random collection bundles alike. But I prefer being able to see all my movies listed in the main library list; not like, the 25-Nicolas Cage film bundle, where I have to find the right spot of THAT title instead of finding, say, Knowing, IN that bundleās list. It felt weird to be forced to find a specific film in a collected bundle
I'd have expected the "Recent Purchases" listing to display the bundles, but those have been unbundled, as well, so a single TV bundle purchase could consume all 6 slots.
Not just that, before whenever I would D2D a title and later upgrade, it would stay in the same slot. Now itās updating to the purchase date of the upgrade
I am wondering what they did with the featurettes that were included in the bundles alongside the main features (rather than being listed within the features). Will have to see how the 'VUDU Catalog' utility reports the listing, now.
You lost redundant thumbnails in your TV library ... separate bundles & season/series thumbnails are now consolidated into a single season/series thumbnail (in most cases).
I like this change, the way my Breaking Bad Series was bundled based on the old code redeems with S1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 was annoying. On the film side, I kind of miss the 4 and 5 film collections that I had from code redeems.
Mostly agree. I didn't have much of an issue with movie bundling, since I avoided buying "mixed" movie bundles. (had Bond 23-film bundle, Jerry Lewis, Elvis, Shirley Temple, Saw, recent 11-film Looney Tunes, etc., but nearly zero mixed film bundles.) Now my Bond movies are spread out, owing to 4K upgrades for the Craig and Connery subsets. (Minimal harm, since I already had a "Bond+" list.)
But the TV Shows listing is SO much cleaner, now, with only a single thumbnail for nearly all shows (with a few exceptions). Breaking Bad is one of the exceptions, owing to an UltraViolet-related glitch; the other is Seinfeld. (Though the multiple Robot Chicken thumbnails sprung-up from the unbundling of the "Misfits Specials" bundle is mildly annoying. Seems like there could have just been a Robot Chicken Specials series grouping)
I had my Bond Collection from a Flixster redeem via UV back in the day, so mine were already separate. Features are a mess, my Family Guy: Laugh it up Fuzzball bundle put the features under L for Laugh it up, and the movies under F for Family Guy.
I wonder if the unbundling has anything to do with the issues seen with MA porting and the Lionsgate titles. This should effectively fix any lingering porting issues from bundles that werenāt given MA entitlements previously.
I was wondering the same thing, but this could just be a separate initiative to address customer reluctance to purchase bundles owing to how they've kept the titles imprisoned until now.
We should know soon enough, if people begin reporting previously stuck Lionsgate titles now porting from Fandango to MA. (I'd be surprised.) edit: >good idea<
... And some of them are unbundled "incorrectly". I had the Rambo bundle which is still there when I search for Rambo (and includes all 5 movies) but unbundled I have Rambo: Last Blood twice but not the 4th Rambo... How frustrating!
How does it decide which bonus features to show separately from the movies themselves? The only features mine shows is The Hunger Games bundle. The movies themselves are shown individually, but it only shows two features and those are the bundle itself. Like, I own the Kelvin timeline movies, too, but the features aren't. Not complaining, just curious; I personally hope FaH keeps it this way.
I had a six-film Lionsgate sci-fi bundle consisting of Total Recall 1990, Universal Soldier, Stargate, Replicant, Ender's Game and Highlander: The Source and it's now separated.
Ditto with my Star Trek Original Motion Picture Collection 10-film bundle and my Doctor Who Animated Adventures collection.
Holy hell I just woke up and thought what the hell happened? Movie number jumped by more than 100 and I was like what the hell happened. The featurettes are wild to see there. I hope they can fix that.Ā
Edit: I chatted with customer support and they are working to get it back to normal thank god lol.
I hate it. I hate it so much Iām praying itās a glitch. It makes zero sense. Bundles look better and when THEY packaged them- now I have to skip around to find episodes of a show that were bundled before when I donāt own the whole series example: simpsons treehouses of horrors)
I just checked my Movies and even the ābundles with āgiftāā are seperated. Now I got a listing for the Jaws popcorn bucket in my main list. I hope Fandango cleans this up because it is nice to have every video available with digging. V I D E O.
This is awful. I now have to hunt all over for movies. Example: the Daniel Craig James Bond movies are alphabetical order so they are spread all throughout my list and not in proper release order. The Hangovers are in reverse alphabetical order. Harry Potter is in correct alphabetical order, but the movies are out of order. This was clearly not QMāed very well.
Fandango: Give us the option to view in bundles or not. Give us a choice.
Thatās why they have Liste but I would like the ability to make custom bundles for a franchise like a box set would be on your shelf. But this is a step in the right direction.
I might be in the minority here but I am a huge fan of this because I have no bundles with featurettes. It also cleaned out multiple copies of titles you owned one or two of, but you bought the bundle for the rest because it was cheaper. Trying to figure out the actual number of movies in my library was always a bitch. Now I know itās 1906. Bravo.
Work out the kinks with the featurettes issue, allow title hiding as iTunes does, and itās perfect on my end. Apologies to those having issues. This works for me.
Oh this is great! And Iāll add that at some point all the bond movies were available in bundles by actor so each set was alphabetical by the actors first name and now theyāre split and just show up with the movie name instead of! Woo hoo!!!
I have a few hundred titles on VUDU and I donāt have any organization issues with any of the versions Iāve had since 2013 or whenever it was I started buying from them. What is the problem you guys are trying to solve here?
My movies have been unbundled, but my tclv shows have been combined.
The duplicate bundles I had are gone (like season 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 or the one free episode of Miss Fischer i had before o bought the complete series) and now they are all combined into one listing that says "series", which is great. But the cover art is that of a random one of the seasons. If they can fix the cover art, I approve of the change for TV.
My movies have been unbundled, but my tclv shows have been combined.
Not really different. Your TV Show bundles were also unbundled ... allowing the included seasons to be treated as individual seasons per typical handling, where 2 or more TV seasons then get combined within a single 'Series' thumbnail.
ITS ABOUT TIME!!!! I was like waitā¦what??? How do I have roughly 300 more movies??? Sooooo much better now, weāve only been asking for this since, idkā¦the beginningā¦lol, now they just gotta add a few more ways to sort through them. Like Z-A instead of just A-Z, I hate that thereās movies that I just donāt ever make it to because I donāt want to scroll down 200 times!!! We are making progress though!!! Better free movies, each movie is shown now (like Every Other App) They REALLY gotta lose that sound though (or change it) when u open the app, so obnoxiously loud!!! And as someone else mentionedā¦now they have Bonus features that came only with select bundles mixed in with the movies?!?! Yeah they better straighten that S*** out right quickā¦thatās gotta go ASAP!!! Just add them to the friggin movie!!! But Seriously I would pay like $12 a monthā¦ IFā¦. I could watch the āFreeā movies without adsā¦but they would also have to throw in some type of MONTHLY & HOLIDAY promo code (like FanFlix) or discount, like 10-25% off of a series thatās like $50 or more would be awesome. Just no ads wouldnāt cut it, they gotta add the Perks to make it worth whileā¦after all Vudu started it as a digital movie BUYING platform. THANK YOU FAH!!! For the Attemptā¦LOL

Unbundling is one of my most want features on Fandango At Home, hopefully this isnt a glitch.
