unstreamable
Not available online
Unstreamable describes content that cannot be watched through streaming services—either because no platform carries it, rights issues block it, or technical barriers prevent access.
The term gained currency as streaming became the default way to watch video: The film is unstreamable; you'll need to find a DVD.
Sometimes used for content pulled from platforms after controversy.
