A few weeks ago I bought a one month Disney+ subscription to check it out. I have all kinds of problems when using their web player compared to Netflix and YouTube: – subtitle settings get reset every time I close the website. – the button for changing subtitles is in the upper right corner. Once you open the menu the button for closing it appears in the upper left corner. You can’t close the menu by clicking outside of it, despite the fact that you can still see the blurred video in the background. – pressing space doesn’t pause the video, but repeats the last action you did. If you closed the subtitle menu by pressing esc, pressing space will open it again. If you entered the full screen mode, pressing space will close it. – there is no way (afaik) to open a list of all episodes from within the player. You have to go back to the show’s main page, choose the season (because it always defaults to season 1) and scroll a horizontal list (which always defaults to the first episode) using a button that appears only once you hover it. Scrolling with a mouse scroll/touchpad doesn’t work. – it is impossible to search for movies using a director’s name. For example, I know that Disney+ has a lot of Charlie Kaufman’s and Wes Anderson’s movies available – they are my favorite directors – but I couldn’t quickly check which specific movies there are. I know that it’s possible that I have higher standards of UX because I’m a programmer, but I doubt that Disney+’s interface is intuitive to anyone.
