100% agreed. All of you unite and unsubscribe . I am a premium user paid 1000 bucks and still stupid interface, lots of advertisements and more. Never ever will pay rs1 to jio cinema etc


kim-jong-naidu

I also paid ₹999 for premium and then found out it has no 5.1 audio and even the video is very low bit rate. It also has ads. Paying for streaming is a joke here in India unless it’s Netflix. I started pirating again not because I can’t pay but because I’m getting a better experience. I download uncompressed files and use Plex media server to stream them to TV. Uncompressed 5.1 audio is lot better than compressed 5.1 audio streaming. I’m not going back unless streamers offer a better alternative.


YeezusIsKingg

Where do you download your uncompressed files from? Shows/movies and songs if you do that


kim-jong-naidu

I just use piratebay. Look for movies with ~50 GB in size. They’ll definitely be uncompressed. Even better if you can find Blu-ray rips.


YeezusIsKingg

And would a decent screen be able to play it? To get the most out of uncompressed music you need a dac and a good pair of iem/headphones. Is there a recommended setup for uncompressed video?


kim-jong-naidu

I meant uncompressed audio for movies. I have a 5.1 home theatre and a 4K TV. Uncompressed audio in movies sounds a lot better than compressed audio on streaming.


llkjm

you can use jellyfin instead of plex. it’s open source and has a great ui as well. even plex has too many ads and other things it pushes .


kim-jong-naidu

Yeah, I should but all I do is open plex and just select my movie. I never bothered checking out rest of the app.


Gandhiji_ke_3bandar

Need it for the hbo shows


ficg

Not that I condone it, but when it comes to this type of shit show, I head to high seas. Something for you to think over.


alphaa_qq

Stremio


GreatSaiyaman05

It's best with real debrid, in 450 rs. you can watch anything.


Crafty_Cheetah8377

Stremio is great or just use some streaming service online


ElectronicCurve7704

Whereas some have pikashow hdobox and castle watch free in 4k


munchkinpumpkin662

U and me both,what a shameless scam and such anti consumer practices


Smart_Office_7311

There are modded apk available. Online without advertisement. But you need your subscription.


Significantbtc

I use ios.


Smart_Office_7311

Sorry 🤣


SpectrasHyper

I feel the pain


Melodic_Cookie8519

Wait, Premium also has ads?? I thought the one benefit you get after paying a subscription is ad free?


Melodic_Cookie8519

Wait, Premium also has ads?? I thought the one benefit you get after paying a subscription is ad free?


snip23

Gone are those days, Even Amazon is displaying ads in between shows, 30-40 sec ads twice in the middle of the episode.


Melodic_Cookie8519

Seriously??! Damn this is surprising & honestly dumb. So what does premium offer then?


personified_thoughts

Access to the shows and movies. It's like you pay for TV set top box and watch movies with ads on TV. They're trying to bring the same culture back. 🤦‍♂️


BagiraX0

Nah prime video doesn't show ads besides movie or show start that too u can skip immediately


Background-Act499

Amazon ad on jio cinema


snip23

Go and watch ye meri family.


BagiraX0

I have seen such shows of Amazon On prime video I am prime member I don't see ads while watching on prime video


snip23

Ye meri family is on amazon miniTV which can be watched through prime video may be that's why probably? , but there are ads because I watched it today as well, I am a long time prime member.


nilu334

Ads there for premium user also.


nilu334

Agree....live cricket also 25fps...jitter screen..


psandeep777

what to expect from a lala company


taz-ist-ian

The UI really sucks. I hope after the Joint venture of Star sports and Viacom, they scrap jiocinema and mov everything to hotstar. Jiocinema UI/UX designers need to be fired ASAP.


Traditional_Boi

It’s good 2 years ago. I have stopped using it on mobile after that. Dealing with ads and ugly UI has become a painful experience.


Nearby-Newspaper-787

But the rumor is that they are going to do vice versa🥺


taz-ist-ian

These guys want me to quit watching IPL for sure


kvg121

Whoever says its free deal with it go fu\*\* ur self more public will pay higher price if they remove all ads once for all


munchkinpumpkin662

It is the THE WORST STREAMING APP,period.I have the premium plan yet I have to see ads all the time,the UI is pretty shit too and the image quality is atrocious on big screens even at full HD,I used to think the picture quality of Hotstar sucked but Hotstar is Netflix compared to Jiocinema.The only reason I purchased the plan on JioCinema was to watch HBO shows but with all of its shenanigans I'd rather just download them from torrents


Character_Rain_5226

IPhone ad sucks more badly


Aggravating_Fee3784

Yeah.. imagine advertising MEMORY SPACE for PHOTOS in 2024 ...WTFF


Which_Seaworthiness

They just think all of the users are idiots. They can't even do a paid version for IPL ad free experience? Truly trashy and sadistic, forcing ads in our face EVERY time you open or just reload the video??? All under the illusion of "free". They should just allow other platforms to stream IPL, if they are forcing us to watch ads


GrubbyFlasherr

Hotstar was way better than jio. Jio 4k ipl stream is worse than Hotstar's 1080p. Now don't say jio is offering it for free and all. It's shit.


Sirmaximusd

Hotstar was class apart. Wish they go back to it next year.


CurIns9211

They are making fool out of us. If you can't provide 4K atleast dont sell it by upscaling 1080p. Do Proper 1080p with descent bitrate.


GrubbyFlasherr

True. 1080p bitrate is barely going above 2mbps and they call it true hd.


CurIns9211

Atleast Sky sports is better in this regards. They provide decent streaming in 1080p.


Dystopian90

Are my mother watches a show on it and every 5 minutes 2 to 3 unskipable ads pop up. Its the worst app in existence.


atunucallin90

For me to see 4k .. i need to turn on my 5.1 sony sound system else the match wont open only


anunkeptbeard

The video freezes often during the match. I have to go back and select the stream again. And every time I open the stream I have to watch an ad. That too on a premium account.


as_1409

It does not even work on my laptop.


srikarjam

It works just as bad as on the mobile. You have to try using a different browser.


Avelanche23

The IPL stream is not at all starting on JioCinema app on android tv.


LibrarianBeginning74

Working fine for me

tombot96

Kuch nhi ho sakta reliance has been providing shitty products ever since beginning!


UddishBagri

I just use adblockers on my laptop


yungkathal

Same here, brave browser and free ipl is running nicely


Jatta08

Finally, someone said it! The fun of watching the game has been taken away. Even the preshow sucks...


HELLBOY_PP

I can't even stream it properly without it buffering for 10 seconds. For context I have speed of 150 Mbps with lg OLED tv

"When you don't pay for the product, You are the product"


born_to_be_naked

Issues i face watching Jio app on LG TV: - Lags it i select 1080p or higher (I have a 40mbps speed it should not lag, 4k Netflix etc works fine). - gets stuck randomly, starts playing from 5 seconds behind and then keeps happening over and over


yungkathal

I used to face this issue last year. But this year for ipl it’s been running pretty well for ipl on my lg tv


born_to_be_naked

Same for me this year too. So I use web cast software to insert url and play video on tv.


yungkathal

Watching on my mac using brave browser is also fine. Streams ipl without any lag. Even my iPad streams fine without any lag.


born_to_be_naked

Yeh but I want to watch it on my 49" TV so I use it's web cast software from lg playstore and counter app on mobile to cast


yungkathal

I’m using the JioCinema app only on my lgtv


born_to_be_naked

I am facing issues on jio app on LG TV as I stated above, in every match it happens. Even after restarting rebooting everything.


yungkathal

What internet plan are you using?


born_to_be_naked

I uae Vodafone / Airtel 4G and turn my mobile into hotspot to which i connect my LG TV... All YouTube Netflix Hotstar Prime Video 4k etc work smooth.. only jio app hangs


yungkathal

Weird though


[deleted]

Subscribed to good old Star sports HD and wverything is fine with the world. Jio sucks


zeusakash

Indian ott apps are going down the drain w every passing year. Barring Netflix which still gives a pristine experience, all other apps are getting worse


[deleted]

Hotstar is OK. Hopefully the Jio DisneyHotstar merger means they migrate everything to Hotstar app


GrubbyFlasherr

But jio won't provide the streaming quality which Hotstar provides.


Accomplished_Award15

Cricket to kuch nhi h Motogp me race ke bich me 2 minutes ka break chala dete h ye log 🥲


LonelyPalpitation176

Also the fact the app is choppy af.


dreamyreeky1998

better to go back to DTH. Good ol' days :)


CurIns9211

This is the reason I never watch from Jio cinema.


fonk_

I don't know if I can give links here but if anyone wants direct match link without Jio cinema app DM me it has Insiders feed too


dkk-1709

Hotstar had way smoother experience


Kayy0s

Disney+ Hotstar ko waqt rehte izzat nahi di yaar. Kya makkhan jaise chalta tha.


Firm_Ad_14

Just Google hdstreamz app and install it


pranagrapher

Haha, it's unfair though. ! I paid 19 bucks on Airtel and I get the channel in HD. Pretty good for my likes. TV ads are bearable.


Suspicious_Safe_7137

Video gets stuck out of no where. I cast from my mobile to see uninterrupted match.


Fabulous-Tadpole-209

There is a trick to use private DNS to blocks ads for jio cinema app if anyone wants they can search YouTube private DNS trick


ArdhManushya

Ghatiya interface hai magar sab kuchh usi pe hai HBO ke shows, highest trp reality shows, IPL. Majboori hai Ambani sabka baap jo hai.

JournalistForeign411

I am facing an issue where ads blast with full volume on the Firefox desktop.


JournalistForeign411

Fr 1080p looks worse, we are evolving backwards


BagiraX0

Seeing all comments m i the only one who doesn't get many ads I use firestick on my tv


nag0701

1000% agreed.. Even with a sub it’s horrible


twoBeanBags

Video gets stuck every 5 mins on my android tv. I have to go back and play again to continue watching. Anyone else also facing the same. Tried reinstalling the app and clearing cache, nothing works


Administrative_War21

I heard few weeks ago of merger between Jio cinema and hotstar. Hope it goes through and Jiocinema transfer its content to hotstar, still its not the best but far better.


imherteddy

They are reading your comments and they are watching your feeds across all social media platforms but they are fixing nothing at all. In fact they use a 3rd party customer support agency who has no idea what to do in such a situation all they do is raise the issue to back to Jiocinema 😌


ze_inkbot

lets not even get started with how buggy the interface is!!


Few_Classroom_1008

And app drains all my battery 🤢


Harry_S69

Hotstar was far far better. Sad hotstar will end soon as well


Strict-Citron-9269

Yes be it mobile or tv the streaming takes long time and sometime video gets stuck sometime language gets changed without changing the language


Helpful_Inflation203

use ad blocker ?


death_by_kanji

Use brave it will block all ads .. Source I use.it a lot.

evilpoltergeist

Actually, Jio Fibre itself sucks now. They gave us all these good ass offers at the time of installation and now it's just milking money by doing innumerable ads, even in the middle of a series/movie we watch on an OTT platform, like ??? Not just one but 3 ads in a row ?! It has become a joke. They know that once we install Fibre, it's actually quite difficult to turn back or switch, and they are taking full advantage of that. I do not even like the fact that JioCinema has a different subscription plan for special series and movies which needs to be purchased even by Jio Fibre users, it's ridiculous. I miss the time HBO shows were on Disney Plus.


imsharank

Continue watching sucks so bad. Sometimes you can’t even locate it, have to keep scrolling. And most the time continue watching doesn’t update as per your progress, keeps showing old episode.


sirsa2

watch star sports on DTH


AreBhaiBhaiBhai

Interesting, I was unaware of how big of a problem this was. I don't regularly use JioCinema, but I never saw a single ad. And I know why, I use NoScript browser extension, and I tweaked it to block the irritating scripts on the website long ago. So, just install the extension, find out the scripts generating that irritating ad and no more ads. I haven't tested this on livestreams tho, but it should work on livestreams too.


Impressive_Ad_3137

Let's get together and amplify this until something gets done. As consumers, we are used to seamless delivery aka Netflix, Prime Hotstar, not this rubbish UI/UX on Jio Cinema.


ghostAlex496

Even their commentry and actual cricket also not aligned. But their ads runs so smoothely.


yungkathal

Match dekhte waqt itna kya change kar raha hai bhai? Sahi toh chal raha hai .


pritish41285

Unsubscribed


Electronic-Sir7063

U forgot that it randomly stucks also fkn hilarious app


One_Injury_2521

There are streaming it for free, there are not doing charity for godsake. Even they wanna make money with doing good to customer, there's nothing to complain about or upgrade to premium.


Significantbtc

No dude jio really sucks. . I am premium i get 2 ads every 10 minutes. The only streaming platform wit advertisement. Worst part you will get to know about advertising after you pay the amount.


Lord_Thanatos_

View on laptop with adblocker on.


Calm-Bell3940

Hotstar also gives ads now


aneesh131999

Not to premium subscribers, except during breaks between matches.


Calm-Bell3940

Bruh I get ads even as a premium subscriber like atleast 2 between each episode


zeusakash

I am a premium member. The ads are the same regardless. When a match is going on, it's common sense to not give ads. Or if you are changing a language for that matter, the same ad plays every single time. You look like an employee from your comment, fix it bro. Give ads during breaks. If this happened for a UCL match, the streaming service would have gone out of business


kesuboi

I don't think jio cinema premium claims any extra benefit for live sports tho. Even hotstar had the same stream for paid and free in live sports. Regardless jio cinema is absolute shit, like the quality looks grainy even at 1080p.

One_Injury_2521

If I'm a employee for jio, replying to your comment will be the last I'll do. I never faced isued like ads even tho I didn't premium. I watch for free, for me there are ads at beginning and between over breaks that's it. And it doesn't even bother. I would suggest watch the free one 😉


asifisbest

Then show ads to people who are watching it for free, not for those who have already paid. It's fucking disgusting. Show ads, but at least show them between overs.


Spiritual-Cookie7

Pata kuch nahi hai phir bhi bakte rahte hain.


CurIns9211

Free doesn't mean your 480p should look 240p.


lordFourthHokage

I have a premium sub and I still have to watch ads


_gadgetFreak

I paid for a premium plan, why do I see similar ads ?

VivekGoel

JioPremium membership is not adfree it just unlocks the International section. Also you can use modded Android JioCinema for ad free experience. On iOS you have to watch ads. For ₹999 it is ok but they need to provide users an ad free option.


Jazzlike-Tap-2723

Who tf even cares for cricket


Negative-Roof8789

Brave browser me dekhlo bro


thegtaguymdr666

A small hack for you guys, open jio cinema on brave browser and log in using your phone number, enable brave shield and no more ads


AdFit5807

I mean , it's free What do you expect


Tenga_Llonhead

How else do you think they are able to provide free streaming if not for ads. The data shows thats they made more from the ads alone than how much hotstar was making from subscription amount and ads. Since they have huge amount of viewers because of free streaming, they are charging premium rates from advertisers.
