Disney+ Watch From Beginning

[Dolby]

As someone with kids that watch the same thing over & over again, this has always been a thorn in my side. Finally I can just start a movie from the start.

Seems a very, very basic thing to do & not sure why it took so long.

Haven’t tried on my Samsung yet - only Apple TV.

I was looking for this the other day. I took a little nap while watching and wanted to restart the episode.
Nice to see I don't have to skip backwards anymore (when Android TV is updated).

Insane to me that Disney, a trillion $ company, has a worse streaming app/website than Netflix

They literally just had to copy paste what Netflix is doing, because Netflix has been iterating for 10 years.

Their "real" service is almost as good as Netflix. SA doesn't get that though. The "real" Disney+ app has had restart since forever.

Does SA have a different app vs rest of the world?

I just opened the app on my phone to check and there is no "Play from Beginning" option

AFAIK Disney SA shares the Hotstar platform, which is a completely different service than you'll get in US/UK/EU. As a US D+ subscriber I can access local content in those countries but not here in SA.

Ah ok

Time to start using a VPN for Streaming I guess

I’ve got both UK and SA Disney+ subs and UK app is indeed very different from the SA version.

Won’t work. You’d need to buy the UK version as their sign in is a username and password, not the cell phone nonsense we have here.

UK, US, or (I presume) EU. Get which ever is cheaper - I've got the US Hulu, D+ and ESPN bundle.

Anyone else having issues with disney, just loads constantly?
On both computers.

 

[Dolby]

My kids are watching now , but Apple TV (The Good Dinosaur)

Worked after about 10 minutes, restarted both.

Yeah, really annoying. Instead of skipping backwards, I just skipped to the end, much quicker and then play the episode again. Had a quick look, good to see they FINALLY added it on the Android TV app too. Took long enough, FFS!

The real disney also has proper Atmos and Vision.

What does ours have that isn't 'real' ?

Not a funny question - a legit question as some devices do output Atmos. I know there was a few issues with DV - but I think that is sorted too?

What we don't have is IMAX versions - and we have a really crappy interface.

Ok the Android version doesn't push out DV and Atmos, seems the Apple version probably does.

Apple lost the DA for a while But it's back now .

*holds thumbs it stays that way*

The app is a **** show .

The the internal app on the LG C1 also bounced between HDR & DV over the past (nearly) year. But I think the DV on that works too now - but the DA Atmos doesn't

Yup the Android app had DV for a bit, then switched to HDR then just didn't even bother anymore, DA has been working, not working, now it's just 5.1.

Guys please assist. Before I get myself the Nova Android Box, my Explora Ultra doesn't want to play Disney+ content on 4K but it plays it on 4K on my old LIT Box. Is there a way to sort this out or should I be patient and wait for an update in the near future?
