Any chance you guys could get us Criterion Channel stream links? It's a great service and would like to tie some of the great films there into my library.
Have you tried finding the links to the videos and just trying them?
It doesn't appear that their app supports universal links and I can't find if their app has a URL handler.
An example link to a movie playing is: https://www.criterionchannel.com/to-die-for/videos/to-die-for
I did try. I got a browser open up on my smart tv asking me to sign in. So not ideal. Edit: I could post the code from the page if anyone could use it
Stream Links work with all Apps, if the Apps have implemented Deep Linking correctly. I have similar issues with Kanopy (app does not launch), Hoopla (app launches phone version, not TV version), and others I have tested (Peacock is correct on Apple, but broken on Android. Hulu on Android TV will only work for the first item launched, but is fine on mobile. Etcetera...). I contacted the app developers and if I got a response it generally stated things that indicated that they do not understand, unfortunately. You can reach out to the Criterion people, too, but it will probably take Google and Apple enforcing this standard across all their media apps to get this stuff fixed.
