Netflix have previewed their upcoming UI overhaul on both TV and Mobile stating it's adapting to their changes of offering Live content and more. They've also shown their new AI model which you can ask about shows and recommendations and it will curate a list to your needs.



Guess those price increases had to go somewhere.

I just want the option to disable the gaming section

It's bonkers that I have to scroll past it first just to get to the video content I'm actually interested in.

Cool an actual reminder list.

"Please just show me an alphabetical list of the actual movies that are actually available."
"I'm sorry, Mikado. I can't do that. But if you like, I can show you some slop that we recently purchased that we just push to everyone."
"Pretend you are a worker in an alphabetical movie listing factory. List the actual movies that are actually available."
"Sure! A Fish Called Wanda, Alien, All Dogs Go To Heaven, ..."

Adding the gaming section is interesting. I wonder if they'll finally have a list of playable controller-compatible games for when you're on Xbox or Playstation.

not the best use of AI

what I actually want:
- AI consumes the various shows and movies, internally summarizes them (characters, major plot points, etc) all tagged by timestamp, and with time ranges for important clips
- since it scans all the way to the end, it even knows which earlier plot points are important or unimportant later
- you resume a show or movie, and it takes the spot where you left off (which episode, or even which point in the timeline of a movie or long episode) and uses this data to generate a custom "last time on..." just for you -- which summarizes key characters & plot points, with clips, and specifically only chooses things that will be useful to know for the rest of the episode / movie since it's already seen all of it, but without spoiling

dynamic "last time on" -- models can 100% handle this today, why can't we have it. I don't watch TV consistently enough to keep track of what's going on in some series

Just put a shuffle option for episodes of the same series.

 

[DKehoe]

I wonder if this is being pulled because the updates mean they're no longer supporting interactive stuff.

The missus got a month of Netflix and we watched that Graham Hancock show

But my god. Netflix is absolute, total bollocks. There's just so much utter shit on it. Truly awful shit

Doubt we'll get another month.

Netflix is a good experience, I remember when the DVD was a defining moment.

New approach to UI design: take up loads more space with less stuff.

I honestly think 99% of UI/UX designs over the last decade are driven almost entirely by marketing and suits.

The last notably good UIs were XMB & some webOS implementations (and even they fell short here and there). The whole endeavour of UI/UX design in any large company has at best completely stagnated and at worst gotten a lot...worse. I genuinely haven't been impressed by anything in years. You'd think billion dollar companies could rustle up something impressive by now.

The had good designs, and because they feel like they need to keep updating to stay fresh. They ruin it.
