I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.
So now I’m here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.
I use YouTube to watch clips of films I might like, and pirate them.
I use YouTube Music to discover music, and pirate them too.
I don’t subscribe to services. Why should I?
Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.
That’s it. The great availability of streamed music(and downloaded for a fair price) is the reason why there aren’t that much people who pirate music anymore, since it’s easier to get it the legal way.
Not sure if Disney+ has this issue but I sometimes leave my Netflix tablet in airplane mode when going to another country. If the show is not available in that country when connected to the internet it will not allow play back of the shows I’ve downloaded.
I am considering this. Since the Disney+ version of Futurama seems to add black bars to the top and bottom of the non-widescreen episodes.
Doesn’t do it for me on my TV. I’d be curious to know if it respects the 4:3 aspect ratio if played on such a TV
I’ve done some research and I think the problem isn’t that it’s adding bars, but that it doesn’t fill the 4:3 material to the full height of a 16:10 screen, it just stops at 16:9. I don’t mind that for 16:9 content or other content that is wider but it’s annoying that the 4:3 material doesn’t use the full height of my screen.
I did the same with Lower Decks when it first came out because even though I had a week of Paramount+, not one single thing I tried to view actually worked.
Who the hell would ever actually subscribe if the service doesn’t even work when you’re doing a free trial?
Paramount+ is even worse in Canada. It was a hot mess on trying to find where show were early on. It’s not a full app like the US version. It runs as a add on tier inside the Prime app.
Then at my Firecube home page it offers to install the full Paramount, and the Paramount+ app then after the install it says the content is not available in my country. Clicking on any of the Paramount show links takes me to a app that won’t load the content due to country issues. I need to manually go into the Prime app to find the Paramount shows.
There a few other apps like this too and some I can’t even remove but it sure will notify the crap out of me about the updates for them.
