YouSee Film & Tv - Player Experience

What?

Create a new experience for watching content in our player.

Summary

Where the current player is embedded into the synopsis, new requirements were needed in order to be able to play more content and without going into the synopsis first. I am talking about offline content (downloads) and starting a player from the start page (continue watching) or from the TV guide. As iOS and Chromecast are our biggest platforms, these were the hero platforms to develop it for. Chromecast has an expanded player and taking all the different views and content we would create one player to handle it all. A goal was also to create an almost identical experience no matter what you are watching, where currently you have a TV, a series and a movie experience.

Goals with the new designs are

• Unified experience across all content types

• Create a visual hierarchy of elements that makes sense

• Make more content accessible directly in the player

• Multitasking, browsing while playing
