Let me just say thank God for the Netherland uploads.. if we had to endure watching the classics in the quality they are providing in youtube... I would have probably stopped watching. 1996 is so LQ its a joke. And I am sure they have it in HD.
I agree with you. My thoughts… the 360p video resolution on YT is 100% deliberate. They don’t want HD episodes in circulation for free. Watch what happens after all seasons hit YT - they’ll appear on a streaming service (like Netflix) in glorious full HD quality, for a subscriber fee of course. B Bell is all the coin.

To the wonderful angel uploading the Videoland episodes, VL recently updated their player interface with a toggle allowing subtitles to be turned on/off.
Not essential to turn off, but just thought I would mention. There is also a toggle to force 1080p HD playback (and Bold looks beautiful and crisp at full HD).

Is that videoland? There is a download button there?
Yes, the screenshot earlier was from the Videoland iPhone app. The download feature (known as ‘Download to Go’) appears only in the app, not on the desktop website. Once downloaded to mobile, the file is encrypted within the VL app. I explored my iPhone after download and couldn’t locate the file.
Some info on ‘Download to Go’ if anyone was curious - it basically allows you to watch content offline:

Videoland currently at episode 1840.
The vault stopped just short of:
- Taylor’s “death” in the plane crash (ep# 1776/1777);
- Sheila bumping off Dr Jay Garvin;
- James digging into Sheila’s background (on Stephanie’s insistence);
- Brooke & James’ love scene (ep 1775), complete with ice cubes and moaning
.

In the previous episode Sheila gave Eric a handjob. Like for real (sort of, without getting to graphic). I don't think this was EVER done in soaps before and definitely not since
Yep, episode 1665. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Kimberlin was very thorough with her hand motions lol. So good!

Unfortunately I had to resort to buying 1994 eps from Gilson. He is recording in perfect quality.
Hi@PedroDoes this mean you’ll become a contributing angel and give back? Thanks.

I don't want to sound like I am renting but the quality of the youtube uploads has been coming really low and low. Some days I think they may even start uploading audio in the end... maybe they dont want us to see anything. Bizarre after we know they have it all in HD. Even the 2019 season Is being uploaded in unwatchable quality. They lose viewers because if this. Sad.
I have a feeling they deliberately upload to YT in bad quality. They must not want HD copies in circulation. Sad really.

Speaking of the YT episodes, while we are all very grateful for these early seasons, the quality of the episodes at 360p resolution is often difficult to watch, particularly on a large tv screen. When they began uploading season 1, the quality was excellent at 720p, sometimes even 1080p. Now it’s poor and often the left or right audio is sadly mute.

Do you have the original version of Brooke’s rape as she finds out it was all Stephanie’s doing? YT has some cheep CUT version missing KKL great performance!

Thanks to those angels who uploaded the missing episodes, 5127 and 5128. The episodes on YouTube weren’t “cut”, they skipped uploading both presumably due to their content. The fact they skipped is odd given the rape is rehashed in a flashback in episode 5174 - this being the episode where Brooke confronts Stephanie.

Well I dont think anyone here has done anything wrong... Its stupidly obvious WHERE the episodes come from... anyone with 1 brain cell can type in google and find out. So please do not point fingers like that. People here are the ones that made the vault full. Be grateful and don't point fingers like that. Videoland has decided to do this not because of BB, but because of the new app. And I just checked to see... it works with VPN... but they still don't want my credit card. So that's all. I hope the angels save us once more.
Fully agree @divinemotion. When you say it works with VPN, do you mean when using the new mobile app, or via desktop website on PC?
I have always used the mobile app on iPhone, then Airplayed to tv (with VPN active) - this always worked seamlessly. With the new V2 app, I get the geoblock error message (on iPhone).
Appreciate any guidance anyone has. Thank you.0 -

Since you are writing about it publicly all the time, now you have the result. The blockade was introduced at the request of distributors.
Do you have evidence re distributors?
All Videoland content cannot be played on the new mobile app due to Geoblocking. It’s not just affecting B&B.

Videoland have now pushed everyone onto their new app “Videoland V2”. I can no longer stream as it geoblocks, even with VPN set to Netherlands.
Anyone know a solution?

Does anyone know what episode Videoland is at now? I hope they are still airing the classic episodes and that one of the angels will eventually be able to upload... the show is so good!
Latest episode on Videoland is 1670.
Storylines:- Lauren/Scott/Sheila/Eric on Catalina Island
- Brooke/Ridge work on the men’s line
- Taylor helping James Warwick with Sofia
- Anthony Armando has joined Spectra, much to Macy’s annoyance.
Side note, Kimberlin is very pregnant in these 1993 episodes. Sheila will disappear soon unfortunately. Does anyone remember how long KB was offscreen at that point?

Very bland and basic compared to the classic amazing soundtrack.
Some of these are great. However I agree with you, we need the original David Kurtz / Jack Allocco music cues - these tracks defined the show. I would love to hear the original love themes and, in particular, the cues used for Sheila in 1993.

The RTL Lounge broadcast sits one week (10 episodes) behind Videoland.

Some key episode call-outs…
1573 - Brooke tears up the BeLief contract
1582 - Stephanie and Brooke slap each other (100% real)
1589 - Brooke tells Stephanie she’ll be under her thumb
1602 - Brooke demands controlling interest in Forrester / Eric goes ballistic
1606 - Brooke takes 51% control and appoints Sheila as Executive Liaison
1616 - Brooke’s first day / Sheila & Brooke take over Stephanie’s office0 -
I hate to point out, but the end of episode 1554 is missing (final two minutes) - could this be redone.
Thank you angel for your tremendous hard work @rsclassicfanforever0 -

Today, 2189 episode was aired.
Thanks for this. The only Caribbean tv guide for CalaClassics I can locate is here, but unfortunately it doesn’t specify episode numbers for B&B. See channel 358: https://www.rev.bs/tv-guide/
The official CalaClassics website doesn’t offer a TV guide which is disappointing.

Yep, defiantly KKL and John McCook.

Where are the recent episodes being sourced from? Not a complaint (I promise), but episodes appear to be SD 576p quality (I only had a quick look in the October 2022 folder).
Would it be worthwhile sourcing the international distribution edit instead? For those that may not know, episodes distributed to international markets are 2.5 minutes longer - they contain a bonus scene not broadcast in the US/Canada (the scene is known as ‘Prologue C’, Brad Bell explains here).
10play (AU) and Videoland (NL) both carry the longer edit. 10play is same pace as the US, however the 10play video interface is a dismal SD 576p resolution. Videoland on the other hand is HD, albeit 3 weeks behind the US broadcast. I believe the CBS website is full HD 1080p, however episodes are the shorter 19 minute edit.
