Subscribers in several European countries are experiencing the loss of Dolby Vision on Disney+. Reports from *TechRadar* and *FlatpanelsHD* indicate the issue, initially noticed by German users, also affects viewers in Portugal, Poland, France, and the Netherlands. Disney cited "technical challenges" for the removal, but 4K UHD and HDR10 remain available on supported devices.

However, a deeper issue may be at play. A German court granted an injunction against Disney in November 2025, following a patent infringement claim by InterDigital. This legal action may be the root cause, forcing Disney to remove Dolby Vision. The company is also facing a similar patent case in the U.S., suggesting the problem could spread.

Disney has removed references to Dolby Vision from its support pages in affected regions. The company's statement offered few details, but the lack of Dolby Vision may persist. While the company cited technical issues, the ongoing legal battle with InterDigital suggests a more complex situation. Users should watch for updates.
