Adobe TV improvements: faster, better search and navigation

| 2 Comments

I have heard many complaints about Adobe TV, including complaints about its lousy navigation and poor performance. In fact, many of these complaints that I heard were coming from my own mouth. I had to create a page with an ordered listing of video tutorials because it was hard for users to find the video tutorials within the Adobe TV interface.

So I'm quite pleased that Adobe TV has undergone a huge, substantial transformation.

Navigation is much better. When you're done watching one video, you can actually see what's next in the series or what else is available about the same application. This was flaky at best in the previous release of Adobe TV. There are actually useful channels that make sense and are easy to navigate between and within.

Search is better. This one is self-explanatory, I think.

Performance is better. Videos load more quickly and play more smoothly. (And I hear that this is going to get even better soon.)

Oh, and you can subscribe to shows using RSS feeds.

There are other new features, but these are the ones that I know will make my life better... and yours, too.

Thank you, Adobe TV team!

"Add to adobe media player" doesn't seem to work.
"retrieving show information" is all I see in my Adobe Media Player.

This post just prompted me to visit Adobe TV after I had given up on it. The new design still seems clunky to me. I still don't have a good feel of what's there, how to get to it, where I am, etc. Looks kind of boring now too. Like they're trying to emulate YouTube. The other design felt better. Maybe they could have tried to fix things on the original site instead of creating new problems (for me anyway). Sorry, don't mean to rant here.
