If you want to watch a video when you aren’t connected to Wi-Fi or your cell network, you can choose to sync (download) videos to your iPhone or iPad using the IZZY – Stream Israel app. This is a great tool when watching on an airplane or other places without a Wi-Fi or network connection.
- Download and open the IZZY – Stream Israel app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to the video you want to sync/download within the app.
- On the video of your choice, tap the offline sync button to start downloading the video or videos to your device.
- Once the video is complete, you are free to disconnect from Wi-Fi or network. You can watch or delete your synced videos by clicking the menu button, and then OFFLINE VIDEOS.
- Click the X button to remove the video from your device.
Download Time
The length of time it takes to download is dependent on a number of factors, most likely Wi-Fi or data connection, as well as the length of the video. It varies so much that it isn’t possible to give an estimate of a standard length of time. However, you can also check to see if you’ve disabled HD downloads in the profile settings on the seller app. To do so, just open the app and tap Profile. Under the Download Settings section, tap HDDownloads to toggle the setting on.
Please note: downloading an HD file (if available) will use more space on your device than an SD file.
In addition, the app must remain open (i.e. app open and screen on) during the entire download in order to prevent the operating system from stopping the download. If you’re downloading a large file, you may want to adjust your device’s battery-saving settings to prevent it from sleeping until your download is finished.
Duration of Video Availability Offline
DRM impacts how long a video can remain available offline in the app without an internet connection. Currently, when offline, you have 30 days to start playback; you then have 48 hours to finish playback once it has started before you need to reconnect to the internet to obtain a new license if the content has DRM. Offline access to non-DRM content does not expire. It’s not possible to redirect storage to an external device for security reasons, so the video can only be viewed from within the app.
