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.
It’s probably some weird DRM where it needs to authenticate with their server in order to verify you’re actually the one with an account. It’s silly. The steps they take to try and stop piracy are what in fact drives most people to it.
I started downloading shows from several streaming services I pay for simply because of the number of repeating ads they’ll run during a show. A 24 min runtime gets extended to 45 minutes for all the ads, which I was sitting through for months but when they only have two different ads on loop, WTF!? A man can only take so much!
then why offer local dl if connection required anyway
