While you may think it is illegal to record online videos, MediaMall says that it is covered by the 1984 Fair Use/Betamax ruling, which stated: “The making of individual copies of complete television shows for purposes of time shifting does not constitute copyright infringement.” PlayLater has been rolled into the current PlayOn Desktop app (still only available for PC). Then they added PlayLater, a partner app that could be set to detect and record online videos. In its early years, the app was a way to aggregate all streaming channels it required a desktop server to be running on a PC. PlayOn was launched 9 years ago by MediaMall Technologies.
With the new PlayOn Desktop and PlayOn Cloud, I can save a recording of the videos I want. Rented Vudu movies can only be played for a limited time once playback has begun and must be watched within the allotted 30-day rental period. Hulu only makes available the previous four episodes of the current season. Movies and TV shows have a licensing expiration date, after which the titles can no longer be streamed from a service. There are plenty of reasons to record a video even though it is available online to stream.
But after using PlayOn, I understood its value. Initially the idea of recording content that is available on demand appears to be superfluous. Through the PlayOn apps, you can record just about any anything online-Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon videos, how-to videos, and much more-and add the videos to your media library. With the PlayOn Cloud mobile app and PlayOn Desktop, there is finally an online DVR that is easy to use and offers the features you want from a DVR.
