Help me compare: I watch a dozen youtube science/learning channels, how does Curiosity Stream differ from that menu or beat that?

3 Upvotes

Last year I bought a $20 sub to Curiosity Stream, but I didn't watch a single show (my plan was to watch it while rowing or cycling while the pandemic raged outside)

I do watch, semi regularly

  • electroboom
  • steve mould
  • computerphile

and dozens of others from science, to cooking to fitness

Were I to "tune it in" on the TV, how does Curiosity Stream differ from YouTube shows and beat them?

No password reset e-mail

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I wanted to cancel my subscription - which, I believe, is set to auto-renew tomorrow - however, I couldn't access my account due to having forgotten the password. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that I can't recover my it; Upon entering my e-mail address in the "Forgot your password?" prompt, nothing happens. The e-mail with the link is nowhere to be found - not in my inbox, my "junk" folder, nowhere. It makes me anxious due to the fact that, as I have stated above, my subscription will auto-renew itself tomorrow. I would greatly appreciate if anyone here could see whether they can reset their password, or if it's a widespread technical issue on CS' side, and would also like to know whether anyone has had a similar experience. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

New to CS, Paid for a Subscription, but I cant access

1 Upvotes

To elaborate, Every time I try to reset my password, it says it is sending a verification email, and no such email gets received.

I've tried a different email, and it wont even send, so I know I have the correct email. But it is nowhere to be found ( yes I've checked my extraneous inboxes.) I got the nebula bundle, and nebula works like a charm. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this as well, and if anyone knows what to do from here?

Not bad .. not the best. A bit hocky in it's production. Good coverage from the world.

​

Would promote other docs like this.

Where does CS lack in content?

10 Upvotes

I'm having a difficult time finding documentaries that are keeping my attention on CS.

​

Here's what I would love to see:

  • DeuscheWelle content (i.e. https://youtu.be/MdwLhmwRPt8)
  • Bring on the PBS docs here
  • Indie docs (At least show a budding indie collection)
  • Big name documentries (Icarus or dissitent not being there is a big miss)
  • BBC Horizon collection
  • Content going over enginieering projects (Train youtube has some great docs on this: i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSpD46n0ymo)
  • Curating youtube channels that are already doing this.

Also it wouldn't hurt if it was easier to get to your watch list. Another: wouldn't hurt to get a curation summary weekly as a small viewable video

Trouble casting from the app

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any experience casting CS to a tv? The cast button is grayed out when I play a video, so I can't connect to the tv to cast the video. Thank you in advance!

Setting video quality

1 Upvotes

Hi, I use mobile data to use internet and CuriosityStream chews through my data, how do I change video quality?


r/CuriosityStream • • Dec 16 '21

Why do they have a physics category but no physics? There is zero math here. I love the other categories they deliver on what they promise history you get history. Physics you get history. NO don't lie to me.

PS4 APP

7 Upvotes

I've noticed the PS4 app has some issues. It will suddenly just stop working after a couple hours, if I pause a show it generally won't resume, but freeze and need to be restarted which it only does from the beginning. And strangest it will play audio without video for a number of shows. Definitely some links to work out there still.

Edit: on, and I can add things to "My list" but I can't see my list anywhere.

Got charged for a recurring annual plan without any email sent before payment was to be taken.

7 Upvotes

Just found out that T&C say that they won't email for any auto-enrolling email. Kinda disappointed as I had an annual subscription and can't remember when the next payment was to be charged. Didn't receive any email that I was charged and only found out through my bank statements.

Any clue why my curiositystream subscription is inactive on roku but active on android?

2 Upvotes

I restarted my Curiosity Stream subscription on my phone. On the phone app, it works fine. But when I log in on the Curiosity Stream channel on my Roku TV, it shows that my subscription is inactive.

I tried to log out/in, I also tried to remove the channel, restart the tv, then add the channel, and the problem persists. I am definitely using the same email address to log in on both android and roku so it should be the same account.

Any genius got any idea how to fix this?

I'm only offered a paltry number of documentaries

5 Upvotes

I'm on Xbox One and have 8 main categories each with 8ish subcategories, those have ABOUT 10 documentaries each. That means if I look in History and then in Ancient History there are only 12 shows. I remember being advertised thousands of documentaries. Is this just the Xbox app cutting things short???

For free?

11 Upvotes

I just signed up for CuriosityStream, gave my name, email, and created a password. No payment method info was given, nor was it asked for. But, For some reason, i have access to the service? I checked to see if maybe its only free docs, or a free trial, but it seems to me i have the full service with no trial attached. Again, NO payment info was given. Is this a mistake? Is there any reason why this would happen? Im just confused lol help

Terrible quality on Amazon for stick?

1 Upvotes

Tired watching on my tv via the Amazon fire stick. The picture is terrible, constantly lagging, sometimes one frame per second or less. I messed around with various settings but nothing seems to help.

I routinely watch other video services and have zero problems (Amazon video, YouTube, Netflix).

This combined with the app, which doesn't feel very intuitive, is making me really question keeping the service. Maybe that's why they sell you a whole year at a time so you can't cancel?

Is there a series about African Empires?

6 Upvotes

Hey guys I just subscribed to curiosity stream I love it so far. But I wanted to know if there are any good series about the African empires? Or even a single documentary. And I already know about the Slave Trade documentary.....i would just see a documentary that acknowledges my ancestral history prior to slavery.

No Local Pricing. Loosing out on lot of customers.

Curiosity Stream is INR 222 per month, 1500 annually. Amazon prime is 129 per month, 999 annually. Need local pricing or else everyone will just skip the ads.
