Apple TV 3D movies

Now that we have Apple TV purchase support in some capacity can we get 3-D movie downloads someday in the far future. 3-D Blu-ray has been discontinued from new Hollywood releases for a while now. It would be nice to get this as 3-D movies on Disney+ do not seem to be a priority. Apple uses another codec for 3D so it would need to be clear to people that they need to convert it somehow with DVDfab, streamfab or your own tool and some oculus quest apps already exist to play it back natively. So that is a hurdle that will need to be addressed if it ever does happen.

Do you have an example web link of an Apple 3D movie you can find in Google, to share an example of a 3D movie you can still purchase? Old purchases that are no longer for sale cannot be downloaded from Apple/iTunes.

The 3D movies need a vision pro headset so I don’t know if the files are exposed in the manifest or if there’s a way to retrieve the manifest somehow.

The manifest is hidden somewhere. Don’t know where. When you play it on the Apple vr it plays so I don’t know where it’s located but it’s somewhere.

SF can’t get anything from the Apple store unfortunately, only a web URL.
Sorry for being Capt. Obvious 🙂

Ok thanks. If it doesn’t appear in the web manifest then it can’t be done with streamfab. 😔 one last go is if Wilson can confirm this with devs.

See the prior posts on how to get purchased content from Apple+ and unable to get past purchases without a valid web URL, like found in Google.
