Major midyear update: galleries and comics in the landscape APP, a cloud editing center, commercial cloud drive, and extensive administration improvements

This update has a lot of changes. In the APP, the former promotion page has been replaced by galleries and comics. A custom mandatory-ad format leads users to the membership payment page; after paying, members skip these ads on gallery viewing pages. For EFV transcoding, we added a cloud editing center for future cloud trimming, composition, short-video creation and combining short videos into medium-length videos. Cloud composition is available now, combining any number of videos with any codecs and resolutions into an output with specified dimensions. The commercial cloud drive has also launched. Combined with our mandatory ads on playback pages, it works well for promoting the APP and CMS. User sharing brings traffic and further sharing—that is the attraction of a cloud drive.

Updates

APP

1. Replaced the landscape APP promotion page with galleries. Swipe upward to retrieve random galleries or downward for infinite loading. The page uses a masonry layout. The image-viewing page includes our mandatory ads to encourage membership purchases; members skip these ads after payment.
2. Integrated XinPay and HaoPay into the landscape APP. The payment page was rewritten, reducing payment from 3 taps to two.
3. Fixed incorrect playback-page display after a user signs out.

EFV cloud transcoding

1. Added the cloud editing center as a foundation for cloud editing, composition and short-video creation. Its current composition feature combines any number of videos with any codecs and resolutions into an output with specified width and height.
2. bt management now supports adding and deleting magnet links in batches. RSS/XML subscriptions also automatically extract rar, 7z and zip files and publish their images as galleries.
3. Spreadsheet exports now include video size, duration and related parameters.
4. Added extra delivery-route parameters, appended to segment URLs on selected routes for purposes such as signature verification or source verification.
5. Folder management now supports viewing and extracting 7z archives. Extract downloaded archives or compressed videos and other files on the server directly from the administration interface.

CMS

1. Added random gallery retrieval to the gallery API, returning a specified number of randomly selected galleries for the landscape APP.
2. Added several new API endpoints to the separate CMS for APP integration.
3. When token hotlink protection is enabled and the adaptive m3u8 hotlink-protection token is incorrect, ad-video content is returned directly.
4. Gallery archive uploads support 7z/zip/rar. Improved the code for automatic extraction, image discovery, natural sorting and publishing.

Administration improvements

1. Added port checks to website management to prevent errors when nginx or apache is already installed.
2. Improved administration pages so accidental deletion of some data does not affect other feature pages. Settings that affect transcoding now provide guidance to prevent problems caused by incorrect operations.

Commercial cloud drive

1. Officially launched the commercial cloud drive, with powerful sharing and a traffic-attracting sharing mechanism. Combined with our mandatory ads, it works well for promoting your own CMS and APP.
2. Added cloud-drive ad management and our mandatory-ad system for cloud-drive playback pages.
