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.

    That really grinds my gears

    I remember a few years ago going on an international flight. I had Spotify premium and I spent a few hours sorting and downloading playlists and podcasts that I wanted to listen to on an eight hour flight. Tested, retested and everything worked fine.

    Got on the plane, fifteen minutes in turn on my device to play some music … NOTHING WORKED … all the downloaded files I had set for offline were unusable. I couldn’t believe it.

    My next flights were like yours … just downloada bunch of stuff and play them freely without headaches.

        Weird, I wonder what the issue was. I’ve not had this happen to me with Spotify. Did w Zune back in the day, bc you had to connect to WiFi or a computer every so often to renew the drm license

      Now I will say that Tidal worked flawlessly so I at least had some music.

      I switched to iPhone for work and I listening to podcasts is the worst. Before bedtime I usually download a podcast and put my phone into flightmode. On the normal app + on Castbox everything is acting up. The podcast stops and will not continue. No matter what. Going back 15s? Well how about f* you, I ain’t playing anything.
