Difference between Playlist & App

We watch programs mostly on the Playlist on Sky Glass 2 but occasionally go to the respective app, is their a difference between both when viewing shows?

Thanks, Steve

For most shows the playlist will just open the show in the relevant app.

Obviously the exception to this is shows from Sky's own channels, and also anything that has just happened to be cloud recorded ( however for the major broadcasters like BBC, ITV, C4 cloud recordings typically don't happen and instead opens up the app to playback the show).

Thanks, I've noticed CH5 sometimes plays from the cloud & other times via My5, when your watching through the cloud adds are easier to FFW, yet when it's from My5, seems to act wierd FFW through add doesn't seem that positive, you don't end up where you want to be in the program ie after the adverts
