it's more like the abandoned it since you can no longer log into most of the sites due to changes in how the logins work and the company's lack of interest in fixing the desktop version so they can focus on the more profitable playon cloud.... lifetime my ass....
I really don't want to give them more money either.
Some programs come and go from services. Or, some people only subscribe to a service for a short time. This creates mp4 files that can be saved for later, no restrictions, no syncing back with the service. And yes, ads, works with the free services too.
And some of us have slow internet. I have only cell options, or satellite. Currently waiting on upgraded equipment for a new cell option, but at twelve miles to the tower, it's still not going to be great. Although what I have streams with no issue, skipping forward or back often results in a pause of a few seconds. Much nicer with instant seeking off a drive.
Okay, I can see the benefits of using this. Starting to make sense of all its different uses.
No. If a streaming service drops a series or movies, which they do every month as part of their rotation, you can record the shows and have them forever.

Right. My server runs on Win 10. I don't care that my $19 Lifetime didn't last but for 4 years. I can afford $2 a month for it now and I'm not gonna whine about it.
But people have some kind of grievance against the company, I don't understand exactly what.
In the past they sold you a lifetime license, but then later you gotta pay $2 a month?
What's the matter with windows 10?

Apple+ is not supported. See the original post of supported streaming services. But you definitely get the idea.

They had their product named "Desktop", and sold "lifetime" licenses. Windows 11 was coming out, they said initially they'd support it. Some of us upgraded to Windows 11 (me, I got it in beta). "Desktop" worked perfectly fine. Messages continued that it would still continue working with 11. Then, one day, they added a software version check, like "Windows 11 not compatible", so, couldn't use Desktop any more. Then they released what amounted to a service pack, the identical software, and renamed it "Home". That ended the lifetime license for those of us on 11. Those still on 10, could still use Desktop, but, with no support, so services stopped working, and became essentially useless for most in a short amount of time.
Some people got a few years out of the license, some got barely one (or around there). When they ended it, they offered "3 months free" of "Home" (iirc) for those that had it. Those that were subscribed for a shorter amount of time were offered a little more.
I have no problem with companies ending "lifetime" licenses. I have a problem with the way they handled it. (saying that it would work, then saying it wouldn't work despite the fact "we" saw it working, then, same software, just changing the name). If they were upfront about what I knew to be fact, then, it would be a different story. And, the "3 months", seemed like a slap in the face. Their choice, sure, but it could have been a year, or anything.
And yes, I didn't want to give them more money, but I just did. And I'm not happy about it.... There's something was in the middle of recording when it was removed from services, now it's back (childhood show).

And they have a thing with not releasing release notes with updates. If a service is broken, they release an update, you usually have to go into the software to see if they fixed what your issue was. Some suggested it handier to just type out a line or two at least occasionally (they have/had a release note page on their website, just not updated).

Screen mirroring on Roku makes your computer's entire screen go to the tv.. Some of us would like to stream and work/surf.
For that reason, I'm out.
