Meantime currently syncing up a film on my phone because I've got a flight later today and this'll help it pass brilliantly.

Successfully downloaded Chris Marker's Junktopia to my phone.

so is phone the only way to use it? I still haven't evolved toward watching moves on it.

No, I've tested it and it currently works on both Roku and my desktop just fine, as well as my phone. It's good to go.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 8 April 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
Is there anywhere in the app or desktop version that lists a simple A-Z of all the films on there?
― Position Position, Monday, 8 April 2019 18:54 (five years ago) link
yeah, that was vexing me too

I was getting an error message "Sorry, this video cannot be played while your device is connected to this external monitor" on Chrome (mac desktop), and a Reddit person has already done the helpdesk work. It's an HDCP issue -- the content plays fine on Safari.

Don't think you can search by, say, genre yet, either.

So can one actually watch La Jetée if one has the desire to, or only some videos about La Jetée ?
― Theorbo Goes Wild (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 8 April 2019 23:54 (five years ago) link
La Jetée - It's not under its own name but it is available if you choose the double feature "Chris Marker meets 2 Live Crew". Just a mistake I guess.
Anyone else having this issue - When watching on my desktop, I get about 20-30 seconds of low quality pixelated movie before better quality kicks in. Happens at the start of films or when I move the time slider. Wish it would just spend longer buffering and start up with a good picture.
Roku app is up in Canada, though I haven't signed in yet to see how it works.

Desktop buffering has been the slowest for me too. iPhone and Apple TV it snaps almost immediately into full HD.

Does the downloading actually work? It finally finished and now says *Could not play video*Sorry we encountered an issue whenplaying this video. Code -11800_______________________ OK

Okay, sorry for posting that twice, just sent my complaint to them. Will see what they say.

Tried their troubleshooting checklist now don’t To the last item and just reinstalled the app. Here goes nothing.

Worked on my Apple TV w/ no buffering, but I only watched Sofia Coppola's short film (which was really good + had Kim Deal on the soundtrack)

Anyone got a recommendation on where (or whether) to start with Aurismaki? I've seen nothing by him

Long filmography, but I would perhaps just start at the end. Le Havre and The Other Side of Hope. Then work backwards trilogy by trilogy.

Shadows in Paradise xp

I mean, it's not like they've had months to work out any bugs. Glad they're on it now, at least.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 April 2019 14:41 (five years ago) link
i couldn't find it in the roku channel store on my tv but got it installed on my tv via the web. watched part of hollywood shuffle and part of experiment in terror, the picture quality was great. navigation/organization seems similarly wonky to filmstruck. i wonder how frequently they'll add/swap out movies?
― na (NA), Tuesday, 9 April 2019 14:46 (five years ago) link
i had no "bugs" other than it not being in the channel store.
I thought this trailer was excellent

Sharing in case anyone else is getting "device does not support secure video playback" or similar HDCP errors:
The reason you’re having trouble right now is because Criterion is using DRM (Digital Rights Management) and HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) in order to comply with the technical requirements, anti-piracy provisions, and territorial restrictions of their agreements with major studios and independent rights holders around the world. These technologies help prevent unauthorized playback and copying, but unfortunately they aren’t compatible with all viewing setups. In order for a protected video to play back on your setup, your Fire TV and the TV it’s linked to need to be compatible with DRM and HDCP. You can check out this article for more information about DRM and HDCP.While Fire TVs are generally supported, some models (especially older units) are not compatible with the way DRM is implemented on the app. I know it never goes over well to recommend upgrading your device, but this is likely the only way to access Criterion’s content on Fire TV (assuming the incompatibility isn’t related your TV).Sorry I don't have better news for you right now :(

I think we have an old apple tv box somewhere around here that i'm gonna try, otherwise there's some likelihood this may work:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089DSLMY/

I know their tech support must be slammed with a thousand versions of "how do I shot web," but I sent them my main request, which I made to Filmstruck constantly -- a page with a flat text-only table of everything available, sortable by title, director, year, country, runtime, genre and expiration date.

i think ppl like this probably believe kind of like the streamer-service's analogue of the IT belief that secrecy about your systems is the best security - if they let people just KNOW what they have then they won't be able to lure people in by stimulating the instinct to browse and be fortuitously pleased to find something that wasn't the thing they were looking for which isn't actually there anyway and would cause disappointment if it were positively missed
― j., Tuesday, 9 April 2019 23:34 (five years ago) link
I had a quick look at scraping this from their web pages but they don't make it easy. There's no complete list but if you search for 'a' it lists 3000+ results and then proceeds to show them to you 8 to a page, meaning 400 page requests to get the whole thing (although that's not guaranteed to be complete)
And within the first couple of pages you start to see anomalies - things called "American version - prelude" which is actually a DVD extra for A Canterbury Tale but which doesn't list a director or year or country. No expiry date anywhere either, or running time, not as part of the search results page anyway.
