## Common questions

### Does the app require a Floatplane subscription?

Yes, it requires a Floatplane subscription.

### Can it archive the full Floatplane backlog?

Yes, it supports both downloading new videos as they release and archiving the entire backlog.

### Can it format videos for Plex?

### Is there a risk if I host the downloaded rips for others?

A community post warns that hosting Floatplane rips can lead to trouble, based on a friend’s experience with a private pre-release video site.
