Paid for a rental. Downloaded it with AnyStream. Just got an email reminder that I haven't viewed it and I have only two more weeks.
Is this the intended behavior?

That's clearly understood.That's nothing anystream has any control over. That's sent by amazon.
Here's what Amazon says when I go to the title's page now. It's as if the download wasn't even detected by Amazon. This observation might be of interest to the developers. It is of interest to me because I thought my 48 hours had expired soon after my download, and now I see can also see it on my TV for an extended time.Normally upon download anystream should at least updated the "played" status a small bit. Check the status of that title.
That's not the status I'm talking about. Usually when a title is downloaded, a small progress bar should appear with a portion filled in solid light blue.
Doubt that's the problem, but unknown untill we know the progress bar status.
I know, that's not the point. My guess atm is, maybe his bar didn't get updated at all, causing that message to trigger. If it updated at least a bit, maybe they wouldn't have sent it out.What I'm saying is that I only download in real-time and all my progress bars are always virtually complete after downloading, not just partially filled.

When first reporting this, there was no status bar. The blue box with the arrow said "Watch Now" and the display just above that had the "You have 13 days left to start..."

No, the "Watch now" box with no status bar told me the movie was in the "paid for and never started to view" category. A brand new rental I hadn't initiated viewing on.
Somehow AnyStream downloaded it without Amazon taking notice. That this state can even exist seemed like something of interest to the developers, for reasons it's not useful to speculate about.
