DisneyNOW Design : UX Inconsistency

The design is a dancing Mickey with no label.

  • Roku has a case where it cannot animate the Mickey to indicate something is happening.
  • In this case we need a label to indicate “Loading…” so it’s not perceived as an error (placeholder text; see Maria for final). Roku can animate the text in this case (but not Mickey)…
  • Add Roku edge case to add the label so we can otherwise maintain consistency

Pick Your Profile
  • formerly "Who's Watching" (Netflix copy)
  • Removing logo (distraction from user task)
  • New (Profile) is consistently presented at the end of profiles list
ResolvedAngela
Favorites
  • tvOS & Roku will display square form factor (like on picker) also on home, and
  • will also display the same art as used in the picker, bringing it to consistency.

Play button & progress bars
  • tvOS & Roku will respect theme so that the play button and progress bar indicator will use the primary color for the appropriate theme (DisneyNow default red, or Disney Junior teal)
  • progress bar will be proportional

Filter vs. Quick Links
  •  All Shows & Show Details, etc on Mobile/Tablet use a filter control vs a Quick Links control on tvOS/Roku.

Edit Profile
  • [TV] Remove "Your" from Page Title
  • [TV] Remove "Select what you want to change" (Netflix copy)
  • "What to Watch"
  • Edit Name in TV experience will go straight to editing
ResolvedAngela
Metadata
  • Should be presented in consistent manner and typography style (besides focus state)
    • First row: Season detail (S3 E3 22m)
    • Second row: Show Name (Bold)
    • Third row: Episode title
  • Card treatment facilitates mobile experience usability (explore if needed for TV/Tab)
ResolvedAngela
Show Tiles
  • TV Changed mid-process from 9 to 7; do we want to do 6 to be consistent?
  • On TV & M/T the show tile is same as the faves width 
ResolvedAngela
Section Titles
  • TV changes transparency on row focus (effects readability)
  • Proportionally sized text
  • Add (each) Section labels to Mobile & Tablet (introduce whitespace) 
  • TV always one row and scrolls, tablet two rows, mobile vert scroll only 
  • UPDATE: can be as many or few as programmed (no longer using a set number to fill up row or hiding content after limit)
ResolvedAngela
Hero Video
  • Tune the gradient—our content should be forefront of the experience, not muddied
  • No Play on Hero for TV (trigger is to click on character nav); some character nav items go to collection versus into video 
  • Roku Hero black fade (tech limitation)
ResolvedAngela
Show Detail
  • Mobile/Tablet can swipe page to change section filter
  • M/T should left align labels and add section whitespacing
  • Consistent Season/Episode treatment 
    • Tablet will add Season (not redundant) 
    • TV will change to shorten and add seasons (not redundant for user reading)
    • TV episode title can be truncated, but not show name
  • Update fallback tile for consistent treatment of logo

Collection
  • Show Title treatment will be updated on TV to be consistent

All Shows
  • UPDATE: Filter should update view onfocus
  • Logo is a branding requirement, exception for mobile UX
