Qplay has announced that it is shutting down its streaming service on July 25th.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce Qplay will be closing. Our last day of service is next Friday, July 25,” the company stated in an email it sent to customers. “We truly enjoyed bringing you the best videos from around the Internet. We had fun building and using Qplay and hope that you did too. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to keep developing and running the service.”
Qplay was the brainchild of TiVo co-founders Michael Ramsay and James Barton.
Qplay debuted earlier this year looking to address the problem of streaming short-form videos to your TV set or mobile device by delivering constant, curated video streams, whether it was to one of its own streaming devices or to the Chromecast.
In a show of goodwill, Qplay will refund the cost of the adapter to any of its customers who request it. You have until 5pm Pacific time on July 25th to put in a refund request.
