There seem to be some issues maintaining the software. Have you considered open sourcing it?

I can't imagine there are too many new subscribers nowadays anyway...

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM, DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION

Hi, I've spent years trying to get Videostream to stop charging my account, we finally figured out recently that the email address associated with my credit card had been changed at some point, and I was promised that the account would subsequently be canceled, and I would get a refund.

Since that email:

  • I have been charged my monthly charge TWICE (in March and again in April) --both after my account was supposed to be terminated
  • I have not received any refunds
  • Sydney, who I was working with, has not responded to a single subsequent email, and I have sent several in the same chain
  • Videostream failed to acknowledge or respond to the claim I submitted against them with the Better Business Bureau

This company is a scam! Do not give them your money! They will charge you for years and years and your only option for getting them to stop is to close your credit card account.

I'm looking for a free alternative to Videostream

Videostream was great for years, but the Android app can no longer find my computer (making it useless) & while the Windows app can still cast, it no longer casts subtitles.
Has anyone found a free alternative?

Dev's finally answered RE: Premium no longer working!

Some good news, they know that there's an issue and are working to fix it! Just a matter of time. Glad they didn't abandon us :)


Thanks for reaching out about this issue. We are currently dealing with some issues on our end with our premium accounts that we are actively working to resolve. In most cases, accounts with premium subscription aren't being recognized at this time due to a system error so we are manually adding back all of the accounts now which may take up to a few weeks. In the meantime, here are a few things that you can try out to see if you can get your account running.

  1. Clearing your cache/browsing data (this may reset your account details, and update you to premium)
  2. If you brought premium through the your mobile device, try re-pairing this device to your computer
  3. Go into your google account settings, shut off permissions for Videostream and re-add the extension. Then just log back in after you remove and redownload the app.
  4. Make sure that all of your devices are on the same wifi network
  5. Make sure your chrome app is up to date

Thank you for your patience and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Canceling membership?

Hi, i've been being charged for videostream membership monthly despite trying to cancel it for YEARS. They couldn't even find evidence of my account when i emailed back and forth with them for months a few years ago, and then told me to put in a stop payment with my bank--except that that only got me refunded for ONE single charge, so i would have to do it every single time i get charged, every month.

How do i make them stop charging me? I don't know what to do

How to Start an OTT Streaming Business for Media-based Industry?

Building an OTT (Over-The-Top) platform involves creating a digital streaming service that delivers video content over the internet, bypassing traditional cable or satellite providers. Here's a brief overview of the steps involved:

  1. Market Research: Understand your target audience, their preferences, and the content they're interested in.
  2. Content Acquisition: Secure rights to a variety of content, which may include movies, TV shows, documentaries, or original productions.
  3. Platform Development: Build the technical infrastructure for your OTT platform, including website or app development, video player integration, and content management systems.
  4. Monetization Strategy: Determine how you'll generate revenue, whether through subscription fees, advertising, pay-per-view, or a combination of methods.
  5. Content Delivery: Set up servers or use a content delivery network (CDN) to ensure smooth and reliable streaming of video content to users across various devices.
  6. User Experience: Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface for your platform, with features like personalized recommendations, search functionality, and user profiles.
  7. Marketing and Promotion: Develop a marketing strategy to attract users to your platform, including social media campaigns, partnerships, and promotional offers.
  8. Analytics and Optimization: Track user engagement, viewing patterns, and other metrics to optimize your platform's performance and content offerings over time.

By following these steps and staying attuned to industry trends and user feedback, you can build a successful OTT platform that captivates audiences and generates revenue.

Account no longer premium - scam

So I got the lifetime way back in the day but now it's not letting me sign in anymore and says I need to get premium again.

I refuse to pay again for this app mainly because it's hardly ever updated and it's full of issues that you need to get fan fixes for.

Pretty terrible for as far as paid services go, the customer support does not reply back to your emails EVER.

Framerate

There is such a question, how to make a high frame rate in webrtc or solve this problem in a different way, there is a flight of a game card for poker at the time of throwing it by a person, it just smears and the camera does not have time to capture it, although when you locally write on the phone everything is ok enough number of frames, I would like to solve this problem with the transmission of remote selection of hell on webrtc.

The Developers have failed us - What next?

If you've seen the recent posts, you'll know the dev team has bailed on this project and no longer actually fixes or does anything helpful anymore.

What alternatives do we have? Again, the devs dropped this project and left premium users high-and-dry.

New PC, goodbye VS?

I've been slumming as far as my own tech (but not the kids') for quite some time and am going to replace my beloved 12 yo, Win 7 Home Premium PC that has been amazing for a long time. I've been a regular VS user for nearly a decade.

But every good thing must come to an end.

Does VS work on Win 11? Is it possible to download a very old version of Chrome to run it? (I stopped updating it years ago so I wouldn't have problems and don't use it as my primary browser.)

Should I just move on to Jellyfin or VLC or some other local caster?

Can't sign in to Videostream since updating. Update broke streaming too

I get this:

Access blocked: Videostream’s request is invalid
*my Google email here*
You can’t sign in because Videostream sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error
If you are a developer of Videostream, see error details.
Error 400: invalid_request

I also can't load any videos any longer. It opens the folder, but when you choose, it goes back to the folder. Software's worked right for years until I UPDATED It

Either be transparent or pause all your subscriptions.

This was a good app for back then. I kept getting charged 2 dollars for the longest time with no way to cancel because I can't log in to my account. I wasn't even receiving email receipts.

Ended up having to cancel my entire credit card and getting a new one to escape the charge.

Hope you get sued. Go fuck yourselves.

Cast button doesn't work

Hi, I have the latest chrome app on Mac. I installed videostream via brew. When I click on the cast button, nothing happens. If I go to the chrome settings->cast I can broadcast my screen so the Chromecast is working outside of the videostream app.

I also got a strange OAuth message error when I installed the app. Access bloqued Erreur 400 : invalid_request

Does anyone have this issue ? Thanks

Highly disappointed with Videostream

I've been a lifetime member since 2020 and I remember there was premium detection error with chrome which required chrome to be downgraded to an older version. That was years ago!

Now in 2023 July, I am still facing the same issue, even after I email their so called "support" which also gave me the same auto response as all those years ago linking to a reddit link from 5 years ago.

There has been no reply at all for almost 2 weeks now. This is extremely disappointing and I really wish I can get my refund.

VideoStream

My issues is I couldn't log into my premium account I wrote to them several times until someone answered and offered me a refund, he is a developer and he has the same issue I couldn't believe he said that. I didn't want a refund after many years of being a member. I thought what if I get the refund then they are thinking of a monthly membership right now is not even connect to them or I can't open the app. This is sad if any one knows about something similar please let me know

VS will not play the next video in the playlist

Anybody have an idea of why videostream does not play the next vid in a play list? It shows logged in as Premium and lets me create and save a playlist. However, On the TV it just boots to chrome's default Screensaver after the current vid is over and on the PC ( Its a win 10 box, chrome, windows, etc is updated) it just scrolls the "ordering pizza, compiling code, blah blah blah" and never stops. I have to reload VS, re-cast to the TV, and launch the next show/vid/movie. Vid file type does not seem to matter, and same thing occurs casting to another TV in the house. Any clues oh wise and learned folk?

Received Refund

The recurring charge for my annual account was processed. I contacted customer service and they processed a refund and canceled my account in a matter of hours. For all their issues with customer service and the software essentially being unusable over the last year or so I am very happy they responded.
