Kanopy.com

Finally renewed my library card so I could stream Memoria. Let’s not even talk about libraries with clunky websites. Turns out so far as I could tell that Kanopy no longer exists. There is Kanopy Plus, but that seems to be between itself & directly with libraries.

Does anyone know? Is Kanopy no longer in existence?

My Kanopy works just fine as of right now

I use to have Kanopy from my local library card that was a reciprocal card to the Seattle library system. My local library wasn't signed up with Kanopy but the Seattle library was. During Covid they closed Kanopy on my library system saying they didn't have enough people to work it. So I haven't tried it and I'm no help at all

So what the heck am I doing wrong? The main library has flood damage so god knows when they will reopen.

The woman behind the desk at the local library seemed to have no clue about Kanopy so maybe I should wait for the main library to reopen. Did I need a Connecticut library card? So confused. The town next over to ours is affluent & I bet they know all about Kanopy & I think I can get a library card from them without actually living there.

Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell is a good film. Quite similar to Memoria as it happens.

It's not a bad film but you need to be in the right mood to get the most out of it. Definitely don't watch it when you're in the mood for something snappy and fast-paced.

Never knew this was a thing. Heard it brought up on a podcast. Sounds great!

Kanopy and Hoopla are both services that often pair with libraries, and you can get like 7-10 free rentals from each of them every month. (Hoopla also loans out e-books and audiobooks and music).

Their selection is pretty decent, and no ads. One thing that is a little frustrating is that if you are trying to watch a show, they count every episode as a single rental. This is especially rough if you're watching a show with 20-some minute episodes.

My Kanopy and Hoopla only allow 4 rentals a month and one I'm having an issue with. I gave up on them pretty much.

My Kanopy switched to having "tickets." I get 15 "tickets" a month with movies usually being 3-4 tickets. Tv is all over the map. For example, Luther Season 1 is 4 tickets for the entire season but you only have 7 days to watch it whereas The Prisoner is 4 tickets per season but you have 21 days to watch it.

I use this service all the time. Great for foreign and lesser known movies.
