# Watch On-Demand Videos: Library, History & Downloads

> Browse Hitorino's on-demand library, pick up where you left off, download videos for offline viewing, and get personalized recommendations.

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the library">
    Click **Browse** in the top navigation bar, then select **Videos** from the dropdown. This opens the full on-demand library.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

## Video Types You'll Find

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Past Broadcasts" icon="video">
    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.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Highlights" icon="scissors">
    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.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Standalone Uploads" icon="cloud-arrow-up">
    Pre-recorded videos uploaded directly — tutorials, vlogs, produced shows, and other content that was never a live stream.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Series & Episodes" icon="list-ol">
    Multi-part content organized into a named series with numbered episodes. The player automatically queues the next episode when one ends.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Watch History

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access your watch history">
    Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner and select **Watch History**, or go to **hitorino.tv/history**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resume from where you left off">
    Click any item in your history to open it. The player automatically seeks to your last watched position.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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**.

<Info>
  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.
</Info>

## Recommendations

Hitorino surfaces personalized video recommendations throughout the platform based on what you watch, search, and save.

<Accordion title="Where recommendations appear">
  * **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
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How to improve your recommendations">
  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
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Resetting your recommendations">
  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.
</Accordion>

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch offline">
    Open **Library → Downloads** and tap any completed download to play it. No internet connection required once the download is complete.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Downloads are only available on the iOS and Android mobile apps. Desktop browsers and the TV app do not support offline downloads.
</Note>

## 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**.

<Tip>
  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.
