It's just that if you don't download it off the Playon Cloud server within the deadline, they delete it off their server.
#Playon review cnet mp4#
The mp4 file you've downloaded doesn't "expire" in any way. Follow the link, download the mp4 and done. When the recording is done, you get an email saying "Here's the link to your download, you have seven days to download it"ĥ. The server at Playon's server farm does the recording for you (you provide it with your hulu, netflix, etc. Fire up the app on your Android/iphone device and choose which shows you want to recordģ. Each credit is one recording, be it a movie, or an episode of a TV showĢ. You buy a bunch of credits (30-50 cents each, depending on how many you buy, but in bulk, pay less). Now even if the cloud service works as good as you say I still have no interest in trying it, I don't feel like giving my money to a company who I feel have abandoned their old customers and their old platform.ġ. My feeling at that time were if the can't keep the desktop version running right why should I trust that the Cloud service would work any better, and on top of that I have to pay per recording! No thanks.
By the time the cloud service was ready and launched the desktop version was mostly broken. Recordings failing more frequently channels not being available, not being to log into Networks in the PlayOn browser that sort of thing. But it was when they started announcing their upcoming Cloud service that things for the desktop version began to go down hill. I bought the lifetime PlayOn back in 2015, and while it never worked 100% it worked well enough, if a recording failed it would usually record again by restarting it. I get this feeling too, I think they are focusing most of their resources on their new cloud service and just don't have enough to keep the desktop service working.
