I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe (lemdro.id)

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.

Get VLC Media Player or another similar of choice. Where it's easy for you to manage & watch/ listen to any media of choice.

Enjoy your upcoming travels.

VLC won't help you watch media which isn't there.

Sure it will. It fully supports streaming

Or, you know, if you accidentally typed a YouTube address into the wrong site, and somehow it ended up on your phone. Whoops. It could happen anywhere, even on a layover

Or if you're uncomfortable with that, Dr horrible's sing along blog is pubic domain, a bunch of big actors and writers made it during the first writers strike. I think the sequel is too. I think you can still download it off the official website... I've got a copy on my phone just in case I find myself desperate for offline content

Ok but this is a thread about needing downloads for travelling...

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that was a joke... Which is why I followed it up with a couple ways to download media at the airport quickly

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 2 points 9 months ago

Well yeah I use VLC for the stuff I've downloaded.
