Disney+ is broken AF

[renz20003]

Disney Plus is crashing and having technical issues on launch day for some users

Some Disney Plus users were complaining on Tuesday, launch day, that they couldn't log in to the service. The app was also down in the morning.

Not really a surprise sadly. Wife asked me to set it up for the kids today and no luck here.

LOL @ the top image in that article.

Huh- a super anticipated new streaming service doesn't work on the first day it's introduced???

 

[BudAshes]

Give it a few weeks and I'm sure they will throw enough money at it to get it to work. Not much of a fan of Disney but you can't really expect these things to work from day one. If 2 months from now it still sucks then we can all pile on.

 

[sdifox]

What a bunch of idiots. You want to beat Netflix but unwilling to spend on infrastructure? Especially when you are Disney the bank note press?

FYI

Slick deals: Verizon Wireless is offering 1-Year Disney+ Membership for Free valid for Verizon Wireless Customers on Eligible Verizon Unlimited Plan(s), Fios and 5G Home Customers only

 

[Scarpozzi]

They're probably paying AWS for server space....

 

[jpiniero]

i guess you can see why they are charging $6.99/month for it. It'll be $20 in due time but maybe by then the servers will be fixed.

Didn't have a problem streaming at all. I'll have to watch other shows Disney+ has.

I just signed up for the free account since I have Verizon Unlimited and the interface is an exact rip off of Netflix. Guess they should have patented that shit.

Got mine free as part of Verizon unlimited data perk, installed the app on my Fire TV Stick, and it is working great. Already watched the first episode of Mandalorian.

Works well for Netflix

I'm always hating on aws because there are too many eggs in that basket.

Ya know... if you recently bought yourself a new iPhone and picked the Verizon Unlimited package, you qualify for a free year of both Disney+ and Apple TV+.

Something tells me that Netflix is going to lose a ton of subscribers because of package deals like this.

Yeah, I had no issues watching a movie on it in HD tonight. No buffering, no dropped frames, no sound problems.

Neither have anywhere near the content that netflix has managed to assemble. D+ is a lot of back catalog with a really specific audience, not a lot of new content. Apple TV is new IP, but not a lot of back content. Maybe in a couple years, but I can't see canceling netflix even if I got both free.

I watched The Mandolorian and it was perfect, but then I watched a documentary on that flight that went into the Hudson River and man the audio was totally f'd up on that, a couple seconds out-of-sync. Dunno why; restarting it didn't fix it. I watched the whole thing anyway cause I'm a glutton for punishment (and I always use captions).

This was via the Disney+ app on my TV.

Miracle Landing on the Hudson - Disney+ app or browser, works for me, not out of sync.

Disney+ is the ultimate streaming experience in Ultra High Def 4k. Finally, a reason to buy a bigger TV.

Working fine for us yesterday on various content. Also got it free 1yr with Verizon Unlimited.

Huh. Yeah it was weird, since Mandolorian worked fine. I'll have to see if anything else is out-of-sync.

I'm not sure if I agree. The movie selection on Netflix seems to suck now. Most the new content is stuff that Netflix produced themselves.

When Disney+ and Apple TV+ are both offering a bunch of "free" 4K content in early 2020 and Netflix still wants to charge $20 a month for their 4K content... yeah, I know what I'd choose if I was on a budget.

Netflix saw this long ago (losing movies) and have been focusing on original content. That seemed to have worked well leading up to today.

Also shows have less budget and 10-20x of running time.
