Went to watch the next generation before bed and it won’t pull up any of the episodes or continue where I left off. Instead it shows the extras tab and related shows and about.

I hope that they put them all back on pretty much any other platform so I can unsubscribe from that garbage service. My BF still watches Netflix sometimes so I haven't gotten rid of it, sigh. Put it back there please. That was the only thing I used Netflix for.

Screw netflix and the others. For like 5 moneyz a month you could go sonarr. Enter "star trek tng", wait. Watch on your own machine in the quality you prefer. You only need to be a bit tech-savvy and it's only a one-time-work-investment. You will never go back.

But think of Paramount's profit loss! Oh no we might not get more star trek prodigy oh no!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

OMG My bad, sorry. I didn't think of the megacorps :-(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

First they'll cancel Prodigy and then next thing you know they might cancel TNG or DS9. It's a slippery slope!

Update: it’s back to normal but it still scared me 🤣 any idea why it wouldn’t let me watch for a certain amount of time?

[–] Donebrach 14 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Paramount+ as a web app sucking all the things that are derogatorily sackable is likely the cause. It is an objectively horrible platform.

Can’t even binge a show without episodes randomly playing in another language, or the ad free version starts playing ads

[–] livedeified 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I recently cancelled my paramount account due to the ads. found a great alternative that's 100% cheaper. put on the episode, "the measure of a man" and drifted off to sleep.

[–] PutangInaMo 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I haven't seen ads run during a show, but every now and then they'll shove whatever they're movie or show they're trying to push in a preview before a new episode runs. I just hit back and start it again and it goes away.

[–] livedeified 3 points 11 months ago

that's what I experienced as well. although it's minor, I think it's a PITA.

Yeah sorta. But it's like if YouTube advertised other channels instead of "products". I still consider it an ad but I think if fits loosely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It sucks and I canceled it and subscribed to it through YouTube which means paramount gets 30% less money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The app is objectively terrible. Barely useable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I think it just had issues yesterday, I was using it to watch episodes of CSI asy background noise show and last night it had no "episodes list" despite me being able to play the next episode

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

why do you let a corporation control whether or not you can watch something? don't use paramount+ or any other DRM-locked service. Sooner or later they will take it away, and there's no guarantee you'll have access to it if you don't have your own copy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

The bdrips are better anyway. I suggest you download those

[–] PutangInaMo 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was watching it on there last night

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Me too. I was watching Yesterday's Enterprise. Great episode.
