Does anyone have any idea how much are they offering to engineers? They've been poaching a lot of Hotstar people. How has the hike been over there?

Jio Cinema salaries?

What do people think of JioCinema?

3.2 Cr concurrency on JioCinema for IPL final. What a great achievement!  
 
Disney Star/Star Sports has already sub-licensed their TV broadcasting rights of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 to Zee. Should Disney+ Hotstar also sub-license their digital rights to JioCinema? Hoping it will cross 3.2 Cr during Ind vs Pak.

Should JioCinema take ICC ODI World Cup 2023 digital rights?

I know JIO Cinema has a great engineering team and lots of money but i really don't like the product. UI feels cluttered, livestream also feels pixalated anyone else feels the same. I really liked hotstar honestly and i was expecting jiocinema would be same as the tech team is pretty much same.

JIO Cinema hot take.

I've heard a few people complaining about Jio Cinema saying it's a typical lala place to work at but if you think about it, it can be a great opportunity to learn and a good place to add in your resume provided you work there for a long time.

Literally every company has bad rep online be it blind, fishbowl, grapevine etc. What do you all think about this?

Is Jio Cinema as bad as people say it is?

UX/UI Designer

Hotstar manged 6-7cr users.
Jio or sports 18 group can't manage even 2cr users.

they should poach hotstar team or get AWS services...

There should be penalty for ruining experience of consumers.

Reliance group Jio Cinema failed big-time.

Jio breaks record of most number of concurrent users. Not a glitch 🙌

Hey Viners, 

Thought I'll start a thread to share everything that can make each other's holidays better. Let's share our recommendations of what one could watch/hear/play/or do and maybe even tag it so. 

Could end up being a very handy list when one of us is just lying on the bed just scrolling through insta mindlessly or when somebody has ordered some amazing pizza, but it ends up getting cold because you can't find something to watch :p 

Hope you do relate :p 
Let's comment here, and hopefully make it a good set of days :)

Why is jiocinema so effin horrible to use on Samsung tvs ? Just fix this shit already.

Intern

Hey @championswimmer

I use hotstar, Netflix, Sony LIV and Prime as premium user and all of them are doing great.

Only #jiocinema looks like lagging.

Apart from crashes and memes, few honest feedbacks and suggestions.

1. FHD or HD also looks like 480p on JioCinema app.

2. Concurrent user during live sports instead of total viewers

3. Ad experience is very bad even as premium user, that's a complaint for star and Amazon also. I dunno y

4. Recommendation engine isn't strong like peers.

Guys u can also add ur issues below.

Hope u take these feedbacks positively and do a freestyle lap inorder to fix these butterfly kinda issues.

Jio Cinema Feedback

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

- JioCinema's paid subscribers reached 1.6 Cr in Q2 FY25, driven by affordable subscription plans starting at INR 29.
- The surge in users is also attributed to an expanding content catalogue, including digital-first reality shows and international content.
- This growth comes as Reliance Industries, Viacom 18, and The Walt Disney Company are merging their operations.
- The merger will create a media giant with 117 TV channels and a combined viewership of 75 Cr.
- JioCinema has also scaled up operations by acquiring IPL rights and partnering with American studios like HBO and NBCUniversal.

JioCinema Hits 1.6 Cr Paid Subscribers, Boosted by Affordable Plans

Journalist

Frankly it is quite shitty, the entire UX. It is down quite frequently (at least for me), the homepage itself doesn't load just shows a black screen with the ghost loading for titles, a lot of the times the posters for movies are interchanged etc etc. 
I feel like if viacom18 engineers do some engineering rather than giving each other medals on twitter and shitting all over twitter spaces, the platform might become better.

A masterful stroke by Jio. If the 29/month gives access to all the amazing HBO content that only they have access to, that's incredible value.

Classic Jio move : First get them addicted, then check their pockets.
