Playback coordinates current, previous and next episode slots, including boundary wrapping, stopping the old player, history and subscription entry for locked episodes.
Content platform / Release experience
Domestic short drama · Playback, monetization and operations
Connected playback, membership, content operations and releases into a short-drama business, reaching peak DAU of 800,000 and business net profit above ten million.
WORK & CONTRIBUTIONS
My work on this project.
Shared episode metadata is separated from user entitlement caches. Locked content receives no playable URL; channel, membership and refresh paths determine access.
Cross-platform components and Android bridges integrate a third-party drama player. The work concerns interfaces, lifecycle and business integration rather than authorship of the player or codec.
Administration covers regions, tags, categories, channels, sources and content maintenance, alongside history and discovery. Existing randomized recommendations are not presented as machine-learning recommendations.
Release delivery: defined WGT and native version rules, channel configuration, resource downloads and full-package upgrades.
Capacity and cost: resolved a traffic-driven bottleneck in about two hours through environment and code optimization, enabling a lightweight server costing roughly RMB 700/month to support a peak of 800,000 DAU.
