The top DisneyPlus executive has shed some light on the service's launch-day tech troubles
"Some limits to the architecture that we had in place were made apparent to us that weren't before," Mayer explained Tuesday afternoon.Kevin Mayer, chairman of Disney's direct-to-consumer and international division, says that the glitches that some Disney+ users experienced on Nov. 12 were the result of the back-end architecture of the service.
He also clarified that the problem was not the result of a third-party technology company. "It was a coding issue," he said, adding that updates to the app would roll out in the coming days. Despite the technical issues, Disney+ had a massive first day. The company revealed that the service — which offers movies from Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm, library TV programming and originals like— had 10 million signups in its first day. During his interview on Tuesday, Mayer said that some of those sign-ups are people already paying for the service, while others are people who got a seven-day free trial and are likely to convert into paid subscribers.
