Use the current platform description
BFI Replay’s present About page says there is material to watch from home and more available exclusively in libraries for licensing reasons. Older descriptions of the project may emphasise library access alone. Read the current platform and the actual item rather than turning an old project summary into a permanent statement about every video.
Check the particular title
A public collection page can describe several kinds of archive material without establishing that every listed item plays in a home browser. Open the intended video and inspect the available access route. If the item directs you to a library, that is different from a failed password or an application compatibility fault. Keep the title and its link for the next check.
Confirm a library visit before travelling
Use Replay’s participating-library information and ask the relevant library about access arrangements if a visit is needed. Do not assume that every public library offers the service simply because one nearby authority has launched it. Opening hours, available terminals and local procedures belong to the library, not to a general statement that Replay is free.
Keep viewing access distinct from reuse
A film available at home or on a library terminal is still supplied under its particular access conditions. It is not automatically a file to extract or republish. For ordinary discovery, share the authorised item page and explain where it can be viewed. That makes a recommendation more useful than sending a catalogue link with an unsupported promise that it will play everywhere.
Questions, answered
Is every Replay item necessarily available from home?
No. The current About page identifies additional library-only material.
Do older library-only project descriptions settle current home access?
No. Check the current platform and specific item.
