On-demand videos on Hitorino let you watch creator content on your schedule — no need to catch a stream live. Past broadcasts, standalone uploads, highlights, and series episodes all live in the on-demand library, organized to help you find exactly what you’re looking for and keep track of everything you’ve already seen.

​
Browsing the On-Demand Library

The on-demand library is accessible from any page on Hitorino and contains every publicly available video uploaded by creators on the platform.
1

Navigate to the library

Click Browse in the top navigation bar, then select Videos from the dropdown. This opens the full on-demand library.
2

Choose a view

Toggle between Grid View (thumbnail-focused, great for visual browsing) and List View (shows duration, upload date, and description at a glance) using the icons in the top-right corner.
3

Sort and filter

Use the Sort dropdown to order results by Newest, Most Viewed, or Top Rated. Use the Filter panel on the left to narrow by category, duration range, upload date, or language.
4

Browse a creator's video page

Visit any creator’s channel and click the Videos tab to see only their on-demand content, organized into their custom playlists and series if they’ve set those up.
Creators often organize long past broadcasts into chapters. Look for the chapter marker bar beneath the progress bar — click any chapter title to jump directly to that section of a long video without scrubbing.

​
Video Types You’ll Find

Past Broadcasts

Full recordings of completed live streams, automatically saved by the creator. These can run several hours and are often the most comprehensive recordings of a creator’s content.

Highlights

Short clips (typically 1–30 minutes) that creators have cut from their broadcasts to showcase the best moments. Great for sampling a creator’s style quickly.

Standalone Uploads

Pre-recorded videos uploaded directly — tutorials, vlogs, produced shows, and other content that was never a live stream.

Series & Episodes

Multi-part content organized into a named series with numbered episodes. The player automatically queues the next episode when one ends.

​
Watch History

Hitorino tracks every video you play (while signed in) and records your progress so you never lose your place.
1

Access your watch history

Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner and select Watch History, or go to hitorino.tv/history.
2

Review your history

Videos are listed in reverse chronological order — most recently watched first. Each entry shows the video thumbnail, creator name, how far through you are (as a percentage), and when you last watched it.
3

Resume from where you left off

Click any item in your history to open it. The player automatically seeks to your last watched position.
4

Clear individual entries or all history

Hover over any history item and click Remove to delete that entry. To wipe everything, scroll to the bottom of the history page and click Clear All Watch History.
Watch history is private — only you can see it. Clearing your history also resets the progress indicators on video thumbnails and may affect your recommendations, since the algorithm uses your history to suggest content.

​
Continue Watching

The Continue Watching shelf on your home feed shows every video you’ve started but not finished, ordered by most recently viewed.
  • Videos appear here as soon as you’ve watched more than 30 seconds.
  • Once you reach 90% completion, the video moves out of Continue Watching and into your completed history.
  • To manually remove a video from Continue Watching without clearing all history, hover over its card and click Remove from Continue Watching.
Continue Watching syncs across all your signed-in devices in real time. Start a documentary on your laptop, pick it up from the exact same frame on your TV app that evening.

​
Recommendations

Hitorino surfaces personalized video recommendations throughout the platform based on what you watch, search, and save.
  • Home feed — “Recommended For You” and “Because You Watched” shelves
  • Video page — “Up Next” and “More Like This” panels in the right sidebar
  • End-of-video screen — an autoplay countdown showing the next recommended video (disable this in Settings → Playback → Autoplay)
  • Category pages — “You Might Also Like” rows based on your taste within that category
The more you interact with content, the more accurate your recommendations become. Specific actions that train the algorithm:
  • ✅ Watching a video past 70% completion (strong positive signal)
  • ✅ Adding a video to your Watchlist
  • ✅ Clicking a recommendation (moderate signal)
  • ✅ Following the creator after watching
  • ❌ Clicking Not Interested on a recommendation card (negative signal — hides similar content)
  • ❌ Removing a video from Continue Watching immediately
If your recommendations feel off, go to Settings → Privacy → Recommendation Data and click Reset Recommendation History. This wipes the algorithm’s model of your preferences and starts fresh. Your watch history and watchlist are not affected.

​
Downloading Videos for Offline Viewing

Certain videos are available for offline download on the Hitorino mobile app (iOS and Android). Creators individually choose whether to enable downloads on their content.
1

Check if a video is downloadable

Open a video on the mobile app and look for the Download icon (a downward arrow) below the video title. If the icon is grayed out, the creator has not enabled downloads for that video.
2

Select a download quality

Tap the Download icon and choose your preferred quality: High (1080p), Medium (720p), or Data Saver (480p). Higher quality uses significantly more storage space.
3

Monitor your download

Tap Library → Downloads to see all your downloads and their progress. Downloads continue in the background even if you close the app.
4

Watch offline

Open Library → Downloads and tap any completed download to play it. No internet connection required once the download is complete.
Downloaded videos are protected by DRM and can only be played in the Hitorino mobile app — they cannot be transferred to other devices or played in external media players. Downloads expire after 30 days or when your subscription lapses, whichever comes first.
Downloads are only available on the iOS and Android mobile apps. Desktop browsers and the TV app do not support offline downloads.

​
Playlists

Creators can group their videos into playlists, and you can create your own personal playlists from any videos on the platform. To create a personal playlist:
  1. Open any video and click ⋯ More Options → Save to Playlist.
  2. Select an existing playlist from the list, or click + New Playlist and give it a name.
  3. Access all your playlists from Your Profile → Playlists.
Mark a playlist as Public to share it with others via a direct link — great for sharing a curated collection of videos with friends or a community.
