Sky stream and apps and playlists

Hi do apps like Disney+, Netflix, Paramount+ and Apple TV go into your playlist and are you able to skip adverts in bbc itv chanel 4 and chanel 5 with advert skip? Thank You

Hi @Football246 

 

Yes you can add programs to your playlist for those streaming services and yes with add skipping you can fast forward the ads on those apps listed (ITVX, Channel 4 and Sky content).

@Football246 Just to add to the reply from @mikealanr I have never been able to add Disney + programmes to my playlist.  However the Watchlist within Disney + works really well (Sky could learn a thing or two from it).

Have a few Disney+ series and films added to my Playlists. All works fine.

What I have noticed and seen it confirmed from Sky, is Disney+ will not get added to your continue watching rail, like other apps do (iPlayer, ITVx, Netflix, C4, C5, Discovery+, Paramount+ etc.).

 

It.s a shame with Disney+, as the continue watching rail on Sky Stream is great.

 

YouTube and Spotify app content can not be added to playlist and does not get added to Continue watching rail.

Disney shows can be added to playlist ..... it's the continue watching rail where they won't appear

@Jporch316 That's interesting as I have never been able to accomplish this.  I have just tried again with 10 programmes in my Disney + watchlist and Sky was not able to locate any of them being shown on D+.  Some of course were found on other Apps.  This has been the case ever since I registered with D+ about 18 months ago.

 

When I first tried to register with D+ through Sky I couldn't get it to work and kept getting an error message.  I gave up on that and registered direct with D+ and have never had any problems other than not being able to add to my playlist / CW rail.  I am now wondering it this might all be related to location settings as they are not UK mainland. 🤷‍♂️

 

TBH I'm quite used to it now and love Disney+ as it has a lot of programmes we watch.

What happens if you voice search a Disney show I.e Star Wars on the sky home screen ? Can you press the plus button  land add it to a profile ?

@Jporch316 @That's how i usually try to find the programmes. I have just tried Star Wars as suggested and the only related thing I get is Battle Star Wars on Legend.

@Jporch316 thanks for the offer but don't worry.  After 18 months I am used to it as it is.
