Google Play Movies and Tv Upload Schedule
Like all broke, bored teenagers in the 2000's, I was a pirate. Buying movies and Boob tube shows online was prohibitively expensive and at that place weren't regular avenues to legally stream anime online. Then I grew upwardly, got a chore, and I tried my damndest to exit piracy behind. I pay for Hulu (opens in new tab), Amazon Prime (opens in new tab), YouTube Premium (grandfathered in through my Google Play Music family unit plan), and Funimation (opens in new tab), and I purchase season passes when other shows have a proficient arc.
Still, those subscriptions are simply every bit expert as their back up and content availability is, and Google'south tardiness is getting damn shut to flunking it.
Steven Universe had an absolutely insane arc this yr, so I bought Vol 7 on Google Play (opens in new tab) in order to keep up with the drama. I'd watch episodes one time they showed up 2-four days after ambulation and be happy. The flavour finale aired Jan 21 and was up on iTunes and Amazon Video the morning, but it was nevertheless absent on Google Play, which I honestly expected. Google Play consistently takes an extra two to 3 days for episodes to arrive, and then I waited.
2 days passed. Three days passed. At this point, I finally broke down and watched the episode in xviii pieces on YouTube, because if the official episode wasn't uploaded, at least the chop-store versions were. I watched, and re-watched, and I waited.
At a week late, I contacted Google Play support. I was bounced around a few specialists, and the concluding one gave the usual platitudes about it sometimes taking a while for episodes to be uploaded past the networks. When pushed, however, the response to "Where's my new episode? iTunes and Amazon got information technology a week agone" was an unexpected ane:
"My advice in this state of affairs is to accomplish out to Cartoon Network and enquire them to upload the episode to YouTube."
If a paid episode is uploaded to Google Play Movies/YouTube with errors or glitches, Google is more than than willing to contact the network and get the episode fixed. If an episode isn't being uploaded on time, Google doesn't consider that a content issue and will not contact the distributors to fix it, even for season pass content that has been pre-purchased.
At least with YouTube'southward popularity, most films and TV shows somewhen get to Google Play Movies. The same cannot exist said of Google's music services, where content availability and tardiness is magnitudes worse. Google Play Music gets many new releases at midnight like iTunes and Spotify for purchase, but it can take hours, days, or even months for new albums to arrive on Google Play Music'due south subscription catalog.
Things go fifty-fifty worse on YouTube Music, because yeah, you do have an ungodly corporeality of music available, merely the legal, label-uploaded music is absolutely unpredictable. New albums on YouTube Music might show up on fourth dimension if you're lucky, but at that place are still a number of labels that will put music on Google Play Music immediately but just upload on YouTube Music weeks or months subsequently over piracy concerns, which aren't entirely unfounded. Albums — new and old — are routinely pulled from the service and only some of them ever return.
Hey, @youtubemusic, you finally added one of my favorite Disney soundtracks afterwards weeks of begging and and so took it away not v days after. Why, and what the hell?!!?!Hey, @youtubemusic, you finally added one of my favorite Disney soundtracks after weeks of begging and then took it away not v days later on.

I spent last summer begging YouTube Music to give me the Disney albums I wanted to heed to, but until they did, I listened to what was there: the illegally fan-uploaded versions of the content I wanted. I didn't experience great about information technology, just without the proper albums and songs, users play what'southward there, and with YouTube Music, what's at that place is a decade of lyric videos, concert covers and straight album uploads.
Piracy will always be an issue that the media industry faces, and when the legal stores and subscriptions we use to support content we like — and sate our fangirl addictions — fails to give the states the content nosotros pay for fourth dimension and fourth dimension again, that urge to revert to our pirating roots gets stronger and stronger. And really, why would you wait for the paid episodes to show up later when the gratis, illegal 1 in on YouTube seconds afterward the episode is over?
The industry has recognized and even sought to capitalize on YouTube's unique position on the border of legal and not-so-legal content to try and draw viewers back from "the dark side". For instance, the premiere episode of Star Trek Discovery Season 2 was put upwardly by CBS All Admission (opens in new tab) in a bid to bring in new subscribers for the second season — and I really wish they hadn't considering damn, information technology looks practiced and at present I want to sentry the rest.
In that location are many ways to encourage viewers to watch the content they desire legally — and seriously, support your shows legally or they can get cancelled — but so long as Google doesn't care near delivering that paid content in a timely manner, it'll be a losing battle for networks, for the individual creators that rely on viewership numbers and digital purchases for renewal, and for consumers that are being driven back to the quick, piece of cake set up of piracy when a content craving hits them.
