Streaming question

GabeUOh, then that might work if they send me an email to download the show manually then I wouldn't need that program at all. So it *MIGHT* work after all.

And in your other now deleted posts.. Yes I have a android phone.

GabeUI figured out on my own how to convert my account and I am currently doing a test download to see if its going to work. And so far its working even though i'm out of data.

So I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is gonna stick.

But I really wished someone from Hughes would check my equipment because thats weird that an app could just cause a modem to go nuts.

CWM030,

Thanks for reaching out! I was able to take a look into the equipment, and at least from what I'm seeing, things on the account seem normal. Please let us know if the issue persists after Gabe's advice, and we will be able to figure out a plan of attack from there!

Thanks,

Remy

Wouldn't I have to have this program on my computer to download the .mp4 files from the cloud? If so, I am SOL due to being a Linux user.

No.  The downloader is only needed to schedule downloads so they happen automatically and during a specific time period, like if you wanted to download the items during the Bonus Zone period while you slept.  You can also achieve this with the PlayOn Cloud app on a cell phone or tablet. 

When a program is finished recording and being converted to an mp4 you get an email with a link so you can download it manually.

That's good.  🙂

Regarding my edited posts, I realized I had misinterpreted your reply, mistakenly thinking you were asking about being able to schedule downloads rather than being able to download the recordings in general.  

I should have added that phone question back into the original reply.  

But yeah, if you've got an Android phone you'd be able to set up the recordings, and then when they're finished you could download them from the link you get in the email.  And with the phone, as long as it has some extra storage room, you'd have the option of scheduling the download(s) to occur during the Bonus Zone and to the phone (if it's got enough storage room), and then you could transfer them off of it.  Being able to take advantage of the Bonus Zone is one of the greatest benefits.

I also forgot to mention that things record in real time, and successively.  So, if you set up to record a season of a show from Netflix, it would take however long the episodes would take to watch, one after the other, and after each episode records and becomes available to download, you'll get an email link to it.

GabeUI am having a problem with play on:

I got an email saying that something I recorded is ready for download:

I clicked on the link:

Recorded on: Feb 1, 2022   Download  
<https://playon.app.link/recordings>

I hit log in with my facebook account

And this pops up:

GabeUUPDATE:

All of a sudden... I was downloading 1 epsiode of a tv show to my phone and it just quit downloading it.

Now nothing in the house will connect to wifi.. Alexa has a red ring when you say her name

my phone says Hug2g767245

Connected / No internet

I rebooted the modem... And wifi is still not letting anything connect

Seriously..  W T F ?????

GabeU  Well, I got it working again by unplugging the modem, waiting 30 sec and then plugging the modem back in.

I got 2 epsiodes downloaded to my phone and then transfered them to a USB stick just to see if the tv will pick up on the USB stick

and it did, I turned the tv off, plugged the stick in and then turned the tv back on and it popped up something about Roku player ( The tv has ROKU built into it )  detected a USB stick and did I want to use Roku player to play the media? And I hit yes.

But now, I just tried to download another epsiode.. And the wifi has took a CRAP...  Alexa is saying she's having trouble connecting to the internet AGAIN!!!!!  :smileyfrustrated:

GabeU  I just tried a different phone and it started to download the show but it kept starting the download over.

I am going to try tonight to leave PlayOn open, have the phone plugged in,  and set PlayON to only download between 2:02 AM and 8:00 AM and see if the epsiodes download

I am also going to be disconnecting all phones but this one phone from WIFI and see if maybe that could be doing it?

But I would rather use my phone that does have cellular service because its has 30 gigs storage where the phone I am going to be using I think only has 16.

I do have a SD card coming.

To do scheduled downloads it says the phone has to be plugged in and the PlayOn app has to be open and WIFI connected.

We do have ( not all running at the same time) 2 Google Homes, 1 Alexa, 3 phones, and a computer.

LizI do have a case #...  But  talking to the Philipenes got me no where.......
