PlayOn Cloud - Streaming video recorder for iOS. Recordings never expire.

Any plans to extend this to other platforms like Spotify?

Can you explain a little bit how this works in tech terms?

This looks promising! I was looking for something like this for a while. Guess I don’t like the list interface, I’d rather see the covers of the shows. But I’m looking forward to see how this evolves. I would use this even if I couldn’t download the shows. Just to have access to all of them in the same place for streaming is amazing!

So do I need Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc to use this?

The reason why I love the process of building User Experience so much is because, when done well, it will often times go even beyond legal and invariably reveal many folds of consequence. Copyright right isn't that murky to figure out. In its core, the legal rights for "reproduction, exhibition and broadcasting" belong exclusively to its owner. The alleged loophole is because people somehow got away with tweaking the item 'broadcasting' when it is for personal usage. In essence, with the advent of streaming practices, broadcasting changed to simply accessing or visualising content owned by others. Spoiler: the simple act of Chromecasting content is now considered broadcasting, AND it's private. If there's more than one person in the room -- presuming only one is the actual subscriber -- any despicable shark of a lawyer would have that head in a legal bucket proving copyright infringement. The reason only a handful of countries are doing that with illegally downloaded content - for ex Scandinavian countries - is also simple: numbers vs ROI. Right now the legal costs of suing people over (there are abundant grounds for that) is higher than what's being "stolen" and companies actually calculate piracy in their production nowadays as just another variable; until both speed and costs of legal change. As we evolve and have everything handled more and more digitally -- the justice system won't always be this sluggish and expensive paper trail -- this will also change and companies will cash on that. That odd and distant case of user fines in some faraway country is swiftly becoming a impending reality. Plus, there are huge differences in how law and regulations are both perceived and practiced in different countries. The American "fair usage" act isn't neither practiced nor observed in many different countries. There is a difference between "this is legal" versus "this ain't illegal yet". All it would take is for someone to "borrow" their cable/service username and password to a PlayOn Cloud user who then downloads whatever and it all turns itself into a going-down-in-flames nightmare. If that usage is cross-countries, then add another layer of hot lava to it.. The regulations around "VCR usage" case are dated and not at all encompassing of the streaming reality with layers and more layers of new agreements over ownership and distribution rights. This is being worked upon, heavily, since the past 10 years and to trust an old regulation to modulate a shifting and imminently volatile legal scenario is not only a tad arrogant (forgive me) but, business wise, an unnecessary HEOUGE risk. To the point I'll just ask: why? What does it solve? What does it change? What does it really offer? It does feel like this is sort of like an angry project that's just happy to be tossed in the fire of a fight we all know who wins in the end. Please argument, if this ain't the case, with something other than a dated convention that, rest assured, is changing as we speak. Tic tac tic tac..
