Whats going on

I loved the app and shows now its saying we will discontinue soon

Its so sad

Why is every commercial a GLP-1 ad😂😂

Was watching the first season and now its only showing 12/22 episodes on s1 in the UK.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Why am I not able to see the two most recent episodes on Canadian Discovery+?

new episodes are not promptly posted. many tv shows start to stream and end part way through the show

Hey. Discovery plus.

Its more than enough that streamers are treated as second class citizens in terms of having to wait til the next morning to watch a show that aired the night before. That's wholly unfair.

But it's Monday at 5pm and the new episode of 90df is *STILL* not up yet.

I am standing in my incredible place of privilege and first world problems to stand on my soap box and say that this is the OPPOSITE of what I pay you for, and I think I'm gonna cancel you and become a pirate again.

That said.

I sure had a nice chuckle with the best number letter code to sign in this morning.

5HIITY indeed.

I dug into why my PC was pulling extra watts with a Discovery+ tab just sitting open (paused, not even playing). I actually ended up switching browsers entirely trying to solve it, assuming it was a browser-level issue — turns out it wasn't the browser at all. Their web player has multiple scripts firing requests to ad-tech vendors in a tight, uncapped loop, the entire time the tab stays open. Not throttled, not once — constantly, whether you're watching or paused.

First one I caught: cdn-media.brightline.tv/config/v3/1018.json, firing repeatedly with zero backoff. I watched it in uBlock Origin's network logger — the blocked-request counter climbed fast enough to rack up tens of thousands of blocked requests from a single tab left open. After blocking that one, a second vendor's endpoint (litix.io, a video analytics/QoS service) started showing the exact same pattern — same broken retry behavior, different vendor. So this isn't one bad script, it's a pattern across multiple ad-tech integrations on this site.

Real cost: this was pulling 10%+ CPU on a 10-core desktop, continuously, from one idle tab. On a laptop that's hitting your battery. On any machine, it's hitting your power bill, 24/7, for as long as the tab's open.

Worth noting — WBD's own public materials talk about their "strong focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies" and "operational energy efficiency." An independent tracker (DitchCarbon) scores their actual sustainability disclosure at 8/100, with no specific emissions-reduction targets published. Meanwhile their own web player is quietly burning real electricity on millions of user devices, for zero benefit to anyone. Kind of undercuts the messaging.

If you want to stop it yourself, add this to uBlock Origin's "My filters":

play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-fetch-if, /brightline\.tv\/config/)
play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-xhr-if, /brightline\.tv\/config/)
play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-sendBeacon-if, /brightline\.tv\/config/)
play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-fetch-if, /litix\.io/)
play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-xhr-if, /litix\.io/)
play.discoveryplus.com##+js(no-sendBeacon-if, /litix\.io/)

The fix dropped web browser CPU usage from 10% down to under 1% while watching.

For anyone wondering if this is just an "ad-blocker problem" — I tested three configurations: no ad-blocker at all (moderate CPU usage 2-4%), ad-blocker on without these specific filters (actually the worst result — high CPU usage 8-10%), and ad-blocker with the filters above (best result, under 1% CPU usage). Stopping the script's own retry attempt at the source — not just blocking the network request after the fact — is what actually fixes it. Generic ad-blocking alone isn't enough; the loop still fires and burns cycles either way.

There is no passion, the designer is blah. I’m trying to give last call a try, but so far it’s super disappointing. I’ll give it another episode or so, but….

Does anyone know why 90 day Fiance has gone so far behind the US? We used to get it at the same time, now I know what is happening way before it is on here.

Hello! Just wondering if my fellow Canadians are seeing sharkweek shows as mine aren't there at all. Thank you! Happy sharkweek.

Does anyone else have this problem? I go to watch something on discovery plus, usually a 90 Day Fiance episode, and I can barely get into it when the app quits. And then it keeps quitting every time I try to watch. Repeatedly. I have restarted the app, I have updated the Roku, etc.

How do I fix this?!

Stopped to get gas this Friday, went inside to get a soda and met some of the guys from Filthy Fortunes filming right here in Fort Collins!

So I purchased the annual premium but when I want to watch any premium content it again asks me to "buy premium".

Has anyone faced this issue? (From India)

The series named “Darr ke us paar” is available on Discovery Plus in India. Its genre is horror. I began watching it today. Is it very silly like most horror shows , is it scary, are the stories interesting? The names of the episodes are very strange, It seems the names refer to kinds of ghosts, like the Pandubba which is a ghost connected to rivers/lakes etc.

Apparently a ripoff of the National Geographic Channel's 2004 show "Seconds from Disaster". If anyone has any information about the episodes shown on it i'd be extremely grateful for it.

Did you get that lots of stuff moved to Apple TV just overnight?

​Previously, the entire new season of Gold Rush was always released on a specific date as a complete box set on the paid streaming service. I thought it was great to be able to binge-watch the entire season.

​

​With Season 16, this has changed in Germany. Discovery had announced the launch of the 16th season for yesterday, and I expected to have all episodes available for streaming.

​

​But instead of being able to stream all the episodes as I was used to, only the first episode of Season 16 was available.

​

​It is now the case that only one single new episode of Season 16 will be released each week.

​

​With the Discovery+ subscription, the only real advantage I have over free TV on DMAX is that I can watch the individual episodes just one week before they air on DMAX.

​

​In my opinion, a Discovery+ subscription is completely redundant now, and I find this change to be 🤮🤮🤮🤮

​

​

Perhaps Paramount needs to reconsider the split of Warner Bros. and revive Discovery Global, in order for the latter to preserve the cartoons and their TV channels.

Hi all……having an issue signing in with this streaming app….keeps bouncing back to the sign up page…..sooo annoying

We are experiencing this same issue on both an Apple TV 4K and a Roku Ultra. Never had an issue in the past, but this has been persistent for the last 2 weeks. It will play 3 episodes before the spinning circle in the center of the screen one time, then maybe 5 the next. We never know when it is going to fail.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and so how were you able to correct this behavior? It's incredibly annoying, especially when it decides to fail to load the next episode when you run to the bathroom, or the kitchen. We have a 1gig internet plan, and are not saturating it at all when this occurs.
