- Comment on Disney+ loses Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 3D amid patent dispute 12 hours ago:
Sorry about that. Here’s the entire article:
Disney+ is currently streaming with degraded picture quality as Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 3D have vanished. A patent case in Germany is possibly spreading across Europe.
The streaming service previously suffered technical app issues, but these were resolved in September 2025.
In late 2025, German media outlets such as 4KFilme began observing that Dolby Vision and HDR10+ had disappeared from Disney+ in Germany. As a result, Disney+ Premium subscribers are limited to streaming in the HDR10 format, despite paying the full subscription price.
In January 2026, the German outlet Heise linked the situation to a patent lawsuit (link) at a German court, in which Disney is accused of infringing patents held by American company InterDigital. The court has issued an injunction that affects Disney+.
Now affecting Europe too
In February, reports have begun to surface on Reddit from Disney+ subscribers in countries such as France, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and Poland. Dutch outlet Tweakers has reported on the issues in Netherlands.
Similar reports are now emerging in the Nordics on Flatpanels’ forums: Dolby Vision is no longer working on Disney+. FlatpanelsHD has confirmed the issue on our devices.
In a statement to FlatpanelsHD, Disney says that it relates to technical challenges. It has neither confirmed nor denied any link between the widespread issues in Europe and the patent case.
“Dolby Vision support for content on Disney+ is currently unavailable in several European countries due to technical challenges. We are actively working to restore access to Dolby Vision and will provide an update as soon as possible. 4K UHD and HDR support remain available on supported devices,” Disney said in a written response to Flatpanels today.
Disney+ has removed all references to Dolby Vision from its European support pages – even the US support pages.
3D movies on Disney+ have also disappeared in several European countries, as these are presented in Dolby Vision (on Apple Vision Pro).
When will it return?
If it is indeed a patent dispute, such things tend to drag on. At this time, there is no timeline for when HDR10+, Dolby Vision and 3D will return to Disney+.
InterDigital holds several thousand patents related to radio and video technology and has previously pursued cases against Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung and others. The company has been described as a ‘patent troll’.

According to the author, though the publication and adaptation plans for the novel were scrapped in light of the guideline updates, they do not view this as a loss. Instead, they see it as an opportunity to become “freer and newer.” They state that they want to keep making interesting works that people will view as something that can only be created “in collaboration” with AI.
