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.
Also, I pay for 4k streaming but because of compression or something else they are definitely not sending me 4k content. I was watching a movie on Netflix that I had forgot I pirated. Both were 4K but the quality of the pirated one was far superior.
Youtube has that too where it says 1080p but actually it’s potato quality.
I’ve noticed a new resolution setting: 1080p Premium HD Enhanced Bitrate.
So yeah, 1080p confirmed potato. Upgrade to new potatoless 1080p now!
I think I’ll just upgrade to sailing the high seas rather than paying these clowns
if you streamed it at the proper bitrate you would be using a ton of data at 4k, even streaming from my own server to my tv sometimes is too much since my TV only has a 100mbit nic on it on films like 1917 the bit rate would spike on some scenes and it will start to stutter or stop playing all together, for that I had to use my xbox or maybe Ill invest in a roku or shield with a 1gb nic. but for regular streaming you might get the resolution in 4k but you’ll see in dark scenes these like squares and artifacts because of how its compressed down to be able to get to you through the internet while not annihilating your bandwidth
Louis Rossmann made a video about it noday I think. They (apparently) don’t serve 4k in browsers, only if you use their propietary apps and allow to send them all your data

Definitely worth a watch.
