Gospel Media

Several times, I am able to find a video and play it OK, but if I then try to download it for offline playing then it fails and tells me to check my internet connection, even though it’s working 100% for every other application, and even for the Gospel Media app in all other cases I specifically need to be able to download so that during a Sunday School lesson I don’t have to rely on the meetinghouse Internet, which can be slow and cause playback issues when streaming. The Gospel Media app doesn’t give me any further details of why it won’t download. It just doesn’t ! This is incredible frustrating. It seems that the problem occurs with some videos, but not others. This suggests maybe a problem with the URL that’s being used “behind the scenes”. Strangely, streaming playback always seems to work. Double frustration ! If I go to the Media Library website, I can watch the videos e.g. in Chrome, and I can download the videos by copying the URL to VLC Player. But really, I shouldn’t have to use this “hack” !

I really love the possibilities of this app, downloading movies , making playlists, etc. however, when you go to play a movie, the floating window that comes up ( and in full screen mode) is very temperamental. It is so sensitive that if you go to hit touch anything ( eg pause or rewind, etc) the app thinks you want to stop watching that particular video and closes the window. You are left to go start the movie over...it doesn’t kick back up where you left off. This is painful if watching a long movie and wanting to pause or if children accidentally touch the screen - the movie goes away and you are back on the browse screen. Starting the movie over and fast forwarding is a nightmare since it is so sensitive and often jumps you back to the browse window as well. If you could just fix this one issue this app would be great! It shouldn’t be something sensitive and maybe ask if you want to end the movie. It would be lovely to have it also ask if you want to pick up where you left off.

There is no quick way (that I have figured out) to tap on a picture and see it full screen on my iPad. The only way I have figured out how to do this is by adding it to a playlist, then going into the playlist to view the picture. There are so many times where I would love to be able to quickly pull up a painting to show my children, but for now, this isn’t possible.

Out meetinghouse wi-fi is really unreliable in our classroom - all that cinderblock! I was struggling with showing videos that would buffer and stop in the middle. Once I found this app I’ve never had trouble! The library is searchable and downloads are easy to do and the option to organize by topic folders that I create is a bonus! Thank you! And blessings heaped upon your heads for this!

Thank you for this app. It is a huge help in my lessons. I have used it for 3 or 4 lessons now. I have found that at least 1 video in each lesson so far, when I go to play the video it shows it as not downloaded (even though I downloaded it before going to church). I have to hope the video completes downloading on the Church WiFi or spotty cell network.
