iPad app does not play downloaded content anymore

Hey y’all, so there was definitely a bug in 8.39 where it looks like downloaded files were deleted but the metadata was not. Which is why you would still see the download in your list but when you would go to play, it wouldn’t work.
So yes if you updated or were auto-updated to 8.39, your downloads are most likely deleted and you’ll need to redownload them.
8.39.1 does fix this issue but we couldn’t automatically find and re-download files without a larger rewrite which would have taken longer than pushing out this hotfix.

If your file size doesn’t update properly after re-downloading, let me know because that sounds like it could be a related issue and just showing the wrong value.
