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 recently binged the entirety of Better Call Saul on Stremio using the Torrentio plugin. I have a Netflix sub.

Not the user above. But I find Stremio to be a way better experience overall. It's more convenient and quicker to get to what I want to watch. I've been off Netflix for a while, but there were times where the Continue Watching section would just be gone. I'd have to search for the show again and resume. The more services you replace with Stremio, the more convenient it becomes.

I have not looked into offline playback with Stremio so I'm not sure if that's a thing.

Pretty much what lessthanthree said. Cleaner interface too. I still have Netflix cause it's easier for my kids, they're still young and can't search by name, they have to look at the pictures.
