Zack Snyder's Justice league runtime wrong

Good morning All.

 

Very excited today to finally see the Snyder cut of Justice league, for which I just became a member today.

 

Started playing the movie and noticed the runtime was wrong. The run time of the movie is just over 4 hours as confirmed by Zack Snyder himself in numerous interviews. It also says on IMDB, that this is a 4 hour and 2 minutes long movie. For some reason, the runtime shown when you open it no Now Tv is 3 hour and 52 minutes. 

 

Wondering why it is 10 minutes short?

 

Best regards,

Saabi

This article explains the process and changes in run times etc

I too had noticed this, @Izzie-T are you able to confirm the length of the Synder Cut for @Anonymous User ?

 

According to IMDB its 4 hours and 2 minutes, whereas on NOW it's advertised as 3 hours 52 minutes.

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help

Wow, thanks for that. I would have never been able to figure that out.

 

Did some quick math and it plays out perfect

 

242 minutes: 242 x 60 seconds = 14520 seconds

 

14520 secs: 14520 x 24 = 348,480 frames

 

If we divide the total frames by 25 it will give us UK TV runtime

 

348,480 / 25 = 13939 Seconds

 

13939/60 = 232.32 minutes. 

 

Just thought I'd help someone who is as curious as me.

Well I’ve tried it on multiply devices with the same result and the error code CVF:-1008-16847 that’s what’s coming up

@Anonymous User @Anonymous User this may be a long shot but make sure that any app you are using is up to date. 

 

Could be a coincidence but NowTV has rebranded in the last 48 hours and I had to do an update to the new look app on start up.

Don't think that is the case. I just became a member today to watch the movie and downloaded the software a few hours ago. So, it has to be the latest.

 

Problem has gone away. I had that error a couple of times then I restarted my PC and it is working thankfully.
