Hi - wonder if anyone can help?! When I add films from Film4 into my Playlist and try and watch them later, they appear as (usually) Paramount Plus films, so without a subscription I can't watch them - is that right?

Hi @MrsEn
As glass and Stream doesn't record but points you to on demand it's quite possible that a channel has the rights for broadcasting it live but not for on demand playback.
Sometimes if content is available from more than one provider there will be a play on x button if content is with more than one provider.

It can actually be a bit of a pain to find the Play on "X" button as well.
If you open the film from your playlist and then scroll down you should see a section called Available Now, once highlighted that should then display the various "Play on" buttons for each service that film is available on.
