I see the plug doesn't seem to be going well, but it interesting to me that Amazon is the only service with something somewhat similar with Prime's X-ray. I know it's easier for them since they have IMDB, but I don't understand why I can't at least have a "Cast/Characters" popup in the other services. Even if it's just the whole cast and not contextual to the scene.
- jerrydoughan 4y agoYou make a great point. X-ray is a prime example of the potential for extending and enhancing the viewing experience, even with something as simple as a persistent character/cast sidebar. Netflix has a version of this but as a separate site called tudum that feels more like a information dump. And Disney has disney extras which is primarily behind the scenes videos. I suspect it's harder for them to do in platform-agnostic way. Amazon has the benefit of IMDB as you noted, while Netflix, Hulu et al would have to build from scratch.
