This months password is: SnaggleTooth4$

That's strange. On my android phone if I go to her page and go to posts the first thing that pops up is the pinned post with the password. I wonder if there's a difference between the Apple and Android versions of the Patreon app since I've always seen pinned posts first

Jay Johnston

Appreciate the feedback however while doing that does bring to her page it doesn’t show me any pinned post it just shows me posts listed from the most recent so currently that is glee mustang sally. If I sign via my actual laptop using website instead of app then yes I see the pinned post. However I don’t utilize my laptop and the website I only interact with Patreon on the app with my iPhone or iPad mini. If anyone has been able to see the pinned post thru the app has some tips of something that I am missing please feel free to pass on the info 😊

KyraB

Yes, there is a pinned comment on the app. Just go to her main page, and you'll find it. Click on her profile picture in this post and you'll be redirected to her main page. - Audrey's Editor

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Totally understand need for password my concern is I use Patreon app and on the app there is no pinned welcome post at the top so how am I going to find password

KyraB

Also can you maybe pin the password In comment so it will also show up at the top of the thread. Otherwise we have to go searching for as the month goes and more stuff gets posted. If it’s even possible, thanks

Krystal Wilson

I'm just thankful there wasn't a time limit on videos like I initially thought. Like you had to watch it in a certain amount of time and then it locked lol. I've actually always wondered about that, tbh like...if someone had the vimeo link they could definitely share it and then that person could share it to whoever they wanted etc. I'm glad it was caught! I'll be on the look out for lists like this in the future 👀

Cory James

Good luck on the job interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

YT blocks everything

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

it's more to prevent MASSIVE sharing online. Personal sharing between people will always happen.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

I know your editor already told you my situation but I have a job interview next week so hopefully I’ll be able to stay a member. Wish me luck and thoughts and prayers and all that. Message me if you need any help with anything! 😁

Zach Davis

Zach you are the best! Yes that would be great! Thank you

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Yes they will be able to share my content for free, but making it a little harder does make a difference.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

What if the douches just gave out the pw? There’s a lot of factors to consider

Zach Davis

I know, it’s shitty. I mean these people aren’t going to pay either way, so it’s not like creators gain anything from the passwords, but I definitely get the principle of the thing. I probably wouldn’t want to reward people for being douches either.

Heather Dyson

Yeah, it sucks when a few bad eggs frack it up for the good ones

Zach Davis

I keep doing that — thinking I’ve solved an issue, going to comment it and realising it’s not even going to work. I’m stumped. I mean my personal problem with it would be solved if I weren’t such a loner 😂

Heather Dyson

I was just gonna suggest YouTube 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ then I remembered you left YouTube for Patreon and Vimeo 🤣

Zach Davis

Might be hard since Vimeo and Patreon don’t know this tech issue 😂

Zach Davis

Looks like watch later is fine after we put in the password but if it changes every month, I’m sure they’ll disappear every month.

Zach Davis

Hey guys I’m gonna look into your suggestions and then come back to this thread later. Please feel free to put in your suggestions and I’m sure we’ll figure this out

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Ok got it!

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Ok so I’ll keep the passwords simple so you can look at it and remember.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Maybe the solution is somewhere around what Zach mentioned. If there are approved user list? Everyone would need to login to their own Vimeo acct to watch instead of passwords per video??? Guess it all depends on those user lists?

Amber Harrison

Yes! An approved user list would be amazing! Especially if it’s directly connected to Patreon. Ugh! But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Patreon rarely improves anything. Personally I’m not a fan of this platform but it’s the most commonly used among followers.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Please make sure to include that the password is Case Sensitive!!!!

Robert Anderson

If you need anyone to help test things via Roku, let me know. So you can have one cheat sheet for all your users no matter how they watch. I’ll be your Guinea pig 😂 for Roku Atleast. And I saw someone had a fire stick, just so you can have your bases covered 😁

Zach Davis

No it was taken down after someone told me. So idk exactly which one. However they won’t be able to watch them now that they need a password.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Oh yea I 100% want you to be able to watch it on your tv! That’s why we’ve been upgrading the quality of the videos. It’s costs me a whole lot more money for storage but I really wanted to give my viewers tv quality video.

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Too bad there’s not a way to create an approved user list. But I’m sure Atleast half of the people are watching without a Vimeo account, makes it trickier

Zach Davis

The watch later folder may have changed because we removed the option to make playlists lists from the videos. That was where the problem was. People could make a list and then share that one link with all my videos. 🤔 let me think on this

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

Ok update! I opened the link on my phone and put in the pw, then I was able to add it to my watch later like usual and am now watching on my TV. Guess I can’t save me fave eps to rewatch later. But I’m just happy I can watch on my TV and not have to use the phone. Extra step but I can see your reasoning behind it

Zach Davis

Do you have the list of the specific videos?

Amber Harrison

I was unable to copy and paste from the pinned with the app. I know that the password is easy to remember but I just noticed that vimeo is case sensitive. People may not pay attention to that at first.

Sabrina Louis

Like I’d be surprised if anyone else had this problem. It’s probably not even a thing to be concerned about.

Heather Dyson

This is something that needs to be done because it’s come to my attention that there’s lists with links to my Glee videos online. People are watching it for free. But having a monthly changing password will make this more difficult for people to watch for free. However I don’t want this to be too challenging for you to watch, so let’s all talk this through and find out how to make this work. Thanks!

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

I could do that if I could watch on my phone, but I need to use my tv. It’s probably a very specific case and most people won’t have any issue, to be fair. Edit for context: I have to copy and paste the links into a Google doc that is bookmarked on my tv.

Heather Dyson

I was able to copy from the pinned, but it seems easy enough to remember ya know

Zach Davis

Not quite sure how it works on Roku but it want me to unlock every time on my streaming stick browser and on the Vimeo app. Let’s me save one password, but I’m using the save slot already. I’ll have to choose a creator. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Heather Dyson

Just checked and all the vids I had saved to my watch later folder of hers are all gone, wanted to go back and rewatch them sometime. I’ll have to see if I can pull it up on my Vimeo app on Roku at all or if I’ll have to watch on my phone, which will be a pain in the butt. I’d usually just click the link, add to my watch later then watch on my TV, I’m sure you do too.

Zach Davis

This is input that I need to know. Ok so shorter passwords are important. You can’t copy and paste like you do with the link to the video?

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

I can’t otherwise I would need to go into each separate post and change everyone manually each month. Can you copy and paste from the pinned comment?

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

All videos including the past

Audrey McDonald ( Songs From A Suitcase)

I’m curious how to do it on my Roku, unless I can unlock on the account then watch on roku, I’ll have to find out

Zach Davis

Disappointing. I understand, but it’s disappointing. No way is my blind ass typing in long ass passwords with a fire stick remote. C’est la vie.

Heather Dyson

Would it be possible to also put the password in the comments so we can copy/paste it, plz?

Sabrina Louis

So will this be for all past videos or just new posts from today on?
