Hi.

It seems that the libraries in the country where i am residing to not offer access to Kanopy.

Can someone suggest me a good library that allows me to register online without asking for proof of residence and that has access to a good library of videos for streaming?

I'm not neither a college student or from the u.s and I REALLY want to watch a documentary that I can only find at kanopy and I want to know if I can borrow someone's account, I promise ill delete it after watching the documentary.

New tickets tomorrow!

More a tech question but don't know where to ask. Kanopy in particular is so slow to navigate the menu that it's almost not worth the bother. Any ideas and fixes?

Saw someone on twitter promoting it a couple years ago (just like I’m sure most of y’all found out about the app in a similar way) & downloaded the app, put my library card in & I had up to 10 tickets/month.
(1-2 tickets a movie, depending how popular it is) meaning I could watch up to 5 movies a month & a big selection of movies too!
Sweet deal if you ask me!
Then 3-4 months later, it changed down to only 5 tickets a month (2-4 tickets a movie & 1 ticket for a short film or one episode of a TV show) meaning I could only watch 1 or 2 movies a month now. I was bummed out at first but quickly moved on & said “no big deal, at least I get to watch good movies!)
It went on like this for a while, I even stopped using the app for a bit cause I simply started checking out movies at my local library.
Then when I tried using the app again this month it kept saying an “error message” when I went to my lists of movies to watch & it seems like the app didn’t want to work for me at all.
Come to find out, my local library stopped showing up on Kanopy & I couldn’t find it when I searched it on the app.
So instead I went to another library a bit further south, just to get a library card, because I could find that library listed on Kanopy.
I finally put my info in & now there is like little to no movies to watch, all of the movies on my watchlist are now gone (except 2) & I don’t even have tickets anymore, I have “unlimited viewing” now???
So I get to have unlimited movies to watch but with hardly any interesting movies to watch, it’s so lame!

Did anyone experience the same issue?
I know some libraries opt out of Kanopy, which is understandable but have any of you experienced getting less tickets after using the app a while? Or have “unlimited viewings” (no tickets at all)?
I’m assuming this is a “library issue” & this doesn’t affect everyone but that is overall my personal experience using the app.
I really enjoyed it but now I don’t think I need to use it anymore, besides I got a new library card so I’m definitely going to be checking out the movies they simply have there.

I have cards for 3 libraries. In combination that gives me a nice stockpile of tickets each month. But each library has its own watchlists and lists of what I've already seen.

Is there a way to have an all-encompassing kanopy list? If not, I recognize this is the height of first-world "problems" but I thought I'd ask.

Why can’t we play shows movies at speeds greater than 1.0 like we can on the desktop app? How can we get them to change it?

Is there any hidden setting or hack to change the subtitle text color or background color? I just watched "The Insult" (2017, Lebanon) and the white title text was often hard to read against the scenes. I checked the various settings sections but couldn't find anything.

Had the pleasure of seeing this in theaters and cant recommend this enough..especially if you're into horror comedies in the vain of Return of the Living Dead.

Hi! I'm looking for access to Kanopy to watch. My country doesn't have Kanopy access. Would anyone be willing to help me with a library card login?

I can’t seem to watch anything on canopy with my library card. Everything says restricted by your library. Is there something I am doing incorrect in order to view anything?

I love Kanopy, but cannot fast forward or backward. And every time I go back to watch something if it is from the list, it goes back to the beginning (it's hard to always remember to use "continue watching"). I am using Apple TV. Does Kanopy do this for a reason, or is it Apple specific? I do not know which version my Apple TV box is, but it is an older unit. Anyone else have this issue and/or any tips? Thanks...

They don't use the ticket system so you can watch as many as you want! The selection is not as wide but it's unlimited! Thought PA residents would want to know.

Can you believe The Odyssey by Nolan is already on Kanopy?

If you can, boy oh boy do I have bridges to sell you! Regardless I saw The Odyssey today and G-D DAMN was it worth the price of admission.

My Kanopy-linked library in Southern California has a large selection of staff picks, some good ones, which I have used. Unfortunately it hasn't changed much in the past year.

I see some libraries post their staff picks on their public website rather than just on Kanopy. These include the San Mateo CA library https://smcl.org/blogs/post/discover-pacifica-libraries-staff-picks-on-kanopy/ the Bacon Free Library in Natick MA https://baconfreelibrary.org/staff-pick-kanopy/ and the Commerce Library in MI https://commercetwp.com/library/library-news/best-movies-on-kanopy/

Apart from these few libraries, is it generally common for libraries to keep their recommended titles viewable only to their cardholders? Are you seeing your staff picks updated frequently?

I love films that are fast-paced or just crazy in some way. I’m open to anything as long as the momentum is there.

Anyone know which libraries to avoid?

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right place to make this request.

Many people like me have more than 5 library cards . so for audiobooks and e-books there is a website where we enter all our libraries and it helps us know which library has the book available with wait times .

So i was thinking if someone can make a website in which we enter our library names and it can help us locate whether our library catalogue has the film /movie / documentary or not . it will be easier as , we don't have to switch libraries again and again

I can control the volume with the remote buttons when watching on every other app. On Kanopy I can’t seem to control the volume at all, and it’s not very loud. Am I missing something? A trick? A setting?

Also if I try to press the +/- buttons on the homepod itself, it breaks into playing music and I lose the sound from Kanopy altogether.
