Insufficient content control to be improved CIBN flying fox video experience

In November last year, Sohu TV TV version turned CIBN flying fox film officially released, Sohu video diversified content resources on smart TV with a new debut, this is also the mainstream of the domestic mainstream video site launched video applications for TV, In the large-screen TV can freely watch the contents of Sohu video, how to use it, the following from the manipulation and content resources to see its specific performance in two aspects.
One, CIBN flying fox video control experience


Home

The content of CIBN's flying fox video is mainly based on all types of film and television resources. Apart from Sohu's single broadcast or members' first look, there are television dramas that are being broadcast on TV. However, as the high-quality single love has already been broadcasted, there is also a “first look”. The corner marker tips are somewhat out of date. In addition, there is a movie "leaderboard" on the right side of the search portal, which is easy to ignore if you don't look closely.

Video search is inefficient

CIBN Flying Fox movie input "QSMY" need to press the remote control 16 times


A software input "QSMY" need to press the remote control 8 times

In terms of film source search, CIBN's first letter search method for flying fox video has become very common, but all keys are arranged in three rows, and the number of keystrokes will be more when parallel selection, such as from the "Q" to "S" need to press the remote control The arrow keys can be reached 8 times, and the search efficiency is not high enough. The figure above is the comparison of the number of keys for the same input "QSMY" two software, from which we can see that CIBN flying fox film and television is obviously at a disadvantage.

The use process is not disturbed by advertisements

CIBN Flying Fox currently watches all content without advertisements. It is not disturbed by any advertisements when viewing various videos. This is unmatched by other mainstream TV video software. Whether it will be free of advertisements is not yet clear.

The top left corner or top right corner of the CIBN is very inconsistent

Although there is no advertisement, click to play the video will see the CIBN icon in the upper left corner or the upper right corner. It uses a grayish white design and looks very abrupt. If it is a variety show of a traditional TV station, this icon will be on the screen. In the upper right corner, there will be no small impact on the viewing experience. In addition, some other movies will also show this corner. This should be unacceptable to many people.

Clearness reaches 4K level

Video clarity up to 4K


Web-side display of video clarity

In terms of clarity, CIBN's flying fox video can reach a maximum of 4K, such as the rush of broadcasting alone, but such 4K episodes are rare and the vast majority of video clarity is kept at “super clear” levels if referenced to PCs. With respect to the description of the sharpness, then its video resolution should generally be 720P, but in the current situation where the 4K television has gradually become popular, the 720P is obviously not enough.

Variety show selection is not convenient enough

CIBN Flying Fox TV Variety Show Selection Interface


A software variety show series selection interface

When playing a variety show, we also found a small detail. CIBN Flying Fox Film and Television will display each stage of the program in accordance with digital diversity. After selecting it, the specific information of the episode will be displayed on the top. This is basically consistent with the operating interface of the TV drama channel, but with the above Compared with the software display interface, the software is not intuitive and clear, and the operation is even more troublesome.

Second, CIBN flying fox video content experience

The number of topics and update speed need to be enhanced


CIBN's special focus has been placed on the topic, focusing on different types of content, including TV dramas, movies, variety shows, children's programs, etc., but there are only 5 special topics on the page, regardless of quantity or content. The degree of richness needs to be further enhanced.

Six content categories meet basic viewing needs

In terms of content classification, CIBN has a total of six categories of TV dramas, special features, movies, variety shows, animations and documentaries. Although it is not as rich as the PC or mobile phone, it can also meet the daily basic video needs.

Insufficient classification of resources exists short board


Movie screening process


CIBN's flying fox video is more special in the display of specific content. Take the movie as an example. There are three editorial recommended locations on the top. The following are all movie resources. There is no in-depth classification according to the movie category. Screening can only be from type and area. The three dimensions of time and time are set, if you are looking for a search function that can only be passed on a large movie that has recently been released.


CIBN flying fox film and other software movie resources comparison

After searching for the latest release of the movie, CIBN still has a short board. The CIBN flying fox movie in the above table is a flamboyant red. Only 5 of the 25 videos can be searched, which is not a small gap compared with similar video software. .

Open cinema members can watch the drama first

Members Only


Open members can watch all episodes in advance

Since there is no advantage in film resources, it is basically unnecessary to open members, but the advantage of members is also reflected in the TV drama's first look at this privilege. A long wait for the process.

to sum up:

CIBN's official launch of Flying Fox has not yet taken a long time. After the above experience, it can be seen that there are many immature places in this software, and further improvement is needed in the handling experience. In terms of video resources, we can see a lot of content that Sohu has produced or broadcast alone. This is the most important reason why it attracts users to install on TV. However, it still hopes to further supplement and improve video resources. â–
