Why/User Benefit/User Problem

As a Fire TV user, I want to access Disney+ content through the web because they don't have an app

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

  • Users can log in to Disney+
  • User can navigate to videos
  • User can play videos in full-screen

Not included

  • Additional site-specific optimizations to improve the experience

@mcomella can you try this out?

Without changing preferences, sign in works fine but I arrive at a page requesting I install the Android app: device-2019-11-18-134732

I requested the desktop version of disneyplus.com and tried hardcoding our desktop user agent when visiting the page but I arrive at a mostly blank page – https://disneyplus.com/unsupported – which looks the same on desktop so here's the screenshot from desktop: image

Before arriving at the blank page, there is a moment when a few navigation controls are shown at the top of the screen – a home icon, a search icon, etc. I assume what's happening is that the page is dynamically detecting what my browser is capable of and, when it finds I can't play the content, redirects me to the Unsupported page.

Historically, we haven't supported DRM content very well: perhaps it's running a check for DRM content before the redirection?

I discovered Disney+ is available on the Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/Disney/dp/B07Y8SJGCV/ref=sr_1_1
