I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

Not sure if Disney+ has this issue but I sometimes leave my Netflix tablet in airplane mode when going to another country. If the show is not available in that country when connected to the internet it will not allow play back of the shows I've downloaded.

Yeah I was still on the plane and it was in airplane mode.

I use YouTube to watch clips of films I might like, and pirate them.

I use YouTube Music to discover music, and pirate them too.

I don't subscribe to services. Why should I?

I downloaded some stuff on the Disney app on my iPad for my flight to Greece last month and it worked perfectly.

I'm glad it worked for you. My problem is that if I can't trust it to work reliably I'm just going to use something else.

Get VLC Media Player or another similar of choice. Where it's easy for you to manage & watch/ listen to any media of choice.

Enjoy your upcoming travels.

Well yeah I use VLC for the stuff I've downloaded.
