Offline Downloads
DRM impacts how long a video remains available offline in the app without an internet connection. Currently, when offline, you have 30 days to start playback; you then have 48 hours to finish playback once it has started before you need to reconnect to the internet to obtain a new license if the content has DRM. Offline access to non-DRM content does not expire. It’s not possible to redirect storage to an external device for security reasons, so the video can only be viewed from within the app.
