A google search of one of the email:password came up with a Soundcloud 2018 email:password dump.
Seems like a everyday dump of reused passwords.
That happens everyday for all the services.
Just seems like everyone wants to take down Disney. Like OMG that had an issue on the first day streaming!
I also want to see them fail, but for no good reason I just enjoy seeing people fail, I guess I'm not alone.
Well. There’s a reason why Netflix is successful. They spent a lot of money and time operating as a tech-heavy company before becoming a content-heavy company. Just as an example, their Open Connect appliances ( https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ ) are an impressive piece of technology that probably needed years of research. Launching a streaming service sounds simple in the paper but there are hundreds of complexit…
Then I found out it doesn't support Vizio Smartcast/Chromecast.
That's...bizarre. I guess I'll watch on my little laptop screen.
Turns out it doesn't support Linux either.
:/
EDIT: I eventually downloaded a Windows VM and watched it there. What could they possibly be gaining from that though??

I thought I'd try out Disney+. Then I found out it doesn't support Vizio Smartcast/Chromecast. That's...bizarre. I guess I'll watch on my little laptop screen.

I can't speak for Vizio Smartcast, but both the mobile app and desktop website both support Chromecast. I watched the first few episodes of The Mandalorian on my Chromecast last night. I started casting from my Linux desktop no less.

The reality is that linix makes up 2-4 percent of the desktop PC market which itself is fraction of mobile use and even then, most linux users have the capability to watch it on something else. More of their customers are on windows XP than all linux desktop distros combined. I don't think they consider it anything close to financially worth it and I don't know if I disagree, even if I wish it was otherwise.

Doesn’t Disney own Hulu? They shouldn’t be new to the streaming video world.
But just as a controlling shareholder. I don't think they have any input or say on Hulu's operation besides the typical influence you can exert as a board member even when it's from a vote controlling position. I may be wrong but I doubt they can use Hulu's streaming technology or IP in general unless they license it from Hulu somehow. If Hulu was an actual Disney subsidiary it would be different. Although Hulu is co…

I love linux, I use it every day more than any other OS. I don't understand why other linux users act surprised that corporate America frequently ignores altogether or uses DRM methods that are not compatible, I don't think its right, i i don't think its good, but its not new or unusual or surprising.

Which is why the web is the best platform to support. I don't get why companies offering a service that can easily be web-delivered don't do it as their primary mode of business.
But then they “support” it with platform-specific WebDRM which doesn’t work on Linux it in truly free/open browsers.
Nothing gained.

All they gain with DRM is to put off potential customers. For many of us, the best way would be a downloadable file format, that I can copy or watch whatever player or device I want to use.
