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'm subscribed to a bunch of services through bundle packages with my phone and Internet and still pirate the shows I want because it's nice to have them all in one place and to know they won't be unavailable in the future.

Yep, I watch everything in plex and it scrobbles to trakt.tv, even though I pay for a couple services. And I don't need to be concerned with whatever is going on with locations/password sharing etc.

My kid likes to watch movies with their friends, and with streaming services this means they all need to have an account and start at the same time.

With Plex my kid can just share their screen and the video shows up fine.

You don't even need to go the screen share route, Plex has Watch Together built in.

Do they need Plex accounts for that?
