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

@Anonymous User @gavs82008 it will be because the movie was shot on stock film at 24fps but will playback on UK TV at 25fps.
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.

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.

@Anonymous User
What device are you using to watch it?

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.
