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.

I've done this before with Netflix too. I was trying to watch a show and it was constantly stuttering, pausing and dropping out to unwatchable resolution. I know it wasn't my internet connection because the torrent for the episode downloaded in like two minutes lol.

I've had issues where Prime does something weird with HDR and it causes the quality to sometimes plummet.

Only have the issue in Prime on that TV,.so I pirate those shows.

Doesn't happen with downloaded HDR content or any other service.

Edit: just to clarify, its not all HDR shows on prime. Only some.
