I wanted to watch some of the earliest Simpsons episodes on Disney+ today, can't because Disney+ won't let me login.
Poked around the app this morning on my AppleTV.
Looks like it's good stuff, but I was only able to add maybe a half-dozen shows to my watchlist before that stopped functioning.
Glad I managed to nab the Oswald Profile Icon though, as far as I can tell it doesn't seem to be available anymore, though that may just be a side effect of things being busted.

They are all there, it's just the servers are having issues, like do people really jump to conclusions?
I don't personally care about them at all, but a friend's request led me to search and it looks like only a handful of the Wonderful World of Disney movies that aired on ABC in the 90s and early 2000s are on there. wonder why
Problems aside, is this bingable? Could I sub for a month, watch all of Mandalorian, then unsub? Or is it a weekly deal?
Also does it allow downloads, or streaming only?

I haven't gotten this yet, but the amount of crying on twitter about it being down is annoying. Saw one guy say how can disney not be able to supply "something intangible like digital goods". Like the internet and digital goods run on magic.
Disney+ is letting me login now but it won't work, got an error saying "Sorry something went wrong. Please try again later." with only an "OK" button, click OK and it's blank pages clicking on "Originals", "Movies", and "Series" at the top.
Things were good earlier in the day, but having quite a few issues now (PS4 app) now that the service is starting to be hit by sudden traffic. It's expected for there to be some Day 1 snafus, so hopefully things are cleaned up quick. No surprise that there are people wanting to spin things up into an outrage.
Btw, I hope they add more icons. From the quick look and choosing for the kiddo and I, representation was pretty bad in Marvel and Star Wars. The former had just Wasp for women, while the latter had only Asohka (maybe Sabine too?) and much of it was bent toward the Empire/FO. No PoC options for Star Wars either iirc.

What the heck??? Disney doesn't have access to the uncropped Simpsons episodes???
Chose the perfect day to get a cold. LG App is working well (shame you can't use the motion control), 4K Dolby Vision is beautiful, and I've had no crashes outside of not being able to change my profile pic. Running off the Verizon offer, pretty great so far.
No Leia in Star Wars, which my wife wanted for hers. Had to settle for Merida. Kid is Elsa.
You can guess who I picked.....^
Since the Mandalorian thread now has spoiler in it, how was the first episode in a spoiler-free way?
Yeah, it's probably just a service issue. I haven't been able to change my icon at all yet; the page that's supposed to display them all is just blank.
Matt Groening, James L Brooks, and Al Jean made the conscious decision earlier this year after the HBO documentary on Michael Jackson to pull the episode from future distribution, so it no longer appears for purchase on digital platforms, no longer appears on streaming, and no longer appears in television syndication.
I'm sure they do but they'd need to do new transfers to get them in HD
Disney should have the money to do that for The Simpsons I hope.
I don't like the decision at all. It was one of the all time classic episodes.
How's Marvel's Hero Project? I'm a big MCU nerd so it's the only original thing I want to see right now.
I'm pretty sure they updated the DVD release to remove it from subsequent pressings. The price of copies of that season went way up on Ebay right after.
Everything I read before launch said this wouldn't be available on LG OS so imagine my surprise this morning when I turned on my TV and got a notification that it was available! Now I can cancel my Apple TV 4K order!
we livin' some very different entertainment lives
I haven't held a remote control in 10 years
In any case, the netflix windows app streams in high quality and prime video is also high quality on PC. I just mentioned the quality was mediocre, didn't expect to have people defend it in this way.
Solid, but it felt like a pilot in that it pretty much told a entire arc briefly in one episode. I think next week will be where we'll get a true idea of the show.
Everything is busted. Servers issues be damned for a billion dollar company. Next time, have a bigger beta...
Real question regarding this: is there a real why they test these things in tiny markets, instead of then rolling it out or making a beta for a mass amount of users? I'm thinking of how game betas test for a huge influx of people at once, whereas here it seems they just wanted to test the app for bugs, moreso?
Its a spotlight on kids making a difference in the world, and marvel creators creating comics of the kids.
It was working flawlessly all morning, then all of a sudden it gave me an error. I closed out and reopened it and now it's blank unless I click on a show/movie via the PS4 interface after you choose the TV/Movie section.

Admittedly I have very little cloud experience, but I do know what an orchestrator is, and I just thought with the infrastructure available to giants like AWS, if you use one of those providers they have the capacity for quick scaling.
Yeah the agreement happened like last week with LG, Samsung, and Amazon. App is pretty great, just no motion control. Looks gorgeous on my B7.
They probably do, but these already exist so it was probably much easier to just take these files which are already tagged and what not. Also, as these screens show, the cropped versions received a pretty decent cleaning up. That said, I and most people would rather have the fuzzier full frame episodes.
Well there it is. Do it yourself and you're gonna have some issues. Actually this service is remarkably well-done if they rolled their own stuff for everything, the app design and implementation on a plethora of devices. Even for a giant corporation, that ain't easy to do.
Welp, gotta love licensing agreements and distribution rights
