Latest update on the Watch TCM app ...
Things seem to be slowly moving in the right direction. Most of the titles added in the last 36 hours or so seem to be working.
As of 2 am Thursday, the two movies added from last night's airings are NOT available. DAYS OF WINE & ROSES and THUNDER ROAD won't load up. I'll check later in the morning and see what's happening.
I've noticed that the films that are working do not start with the usual TCM graphic about closed captioning availability. One title (OBSESSION) starts with color bars and timing slate.
This whole debacle has made me realize how much I use the app compared to watching the actual channel.
The app is even more messed up tonight. Movies like Cool Hand Luke and Thunder Road have been deleted all-together from the app. The only two movies added today after The Clown are Rebel Without a Cause and Splendor in the Grass. Of course, neither of those two movies will playback on the app.You can add Cool Hand Luke to those last two movies that won't playback. It looks like they have to manually load each title into the system. Late yesterday afternoon, I clicked on some James Cagney movies, and they wouldn't playback. This morning, they do playback. Anyhow, I suspect that list of non-playback titles to grow, unless they manually load those titles again or find a long-term solution to this issue. What a FUBAR!
