       FIG.  1    is a flowchart of a landscape interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be performed by a landscape interaction apparatus. The apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware and may be configured in an electronic device. Typically, the apparatus may be configured in a smartphone or a tablet computer. For example, the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a scenario where videos published by an author of a current video are viewed during the landscape viewing of the video. As shown in  FIG.  1   , the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment may include the steps below. 
     In S 101 , a first trigger operation acting on a first display area of a landscape playback page is received, where the first display area includes a display area of author information of a current video author, and the current video author is a publisher of a first target video in the landscape playback page. 
     The landscape playback page may be understood as a playback page of the electronic device in a landscape mode, where a width of an area for displaying pictures of the played video in the playback page is greater than a height of the area. The first target video is a video to which video frames displayed in the landscape playback page when the first trigger operation is received belong. Correspondingly, the current video author is a video author publishing the first target video. The first trigger operation may be any operation for triggering the display of a target-video list of the current video author in the first display area of the landscape playback page and may act on the first display area of the landscape playback page, such as a click operation or a slide operation acting on the first display area. The first display area may be the display area of the author information of the current video author in the landscape playback page, where the author information may include an avatar and/or a user name of the current video author. It will be appreciated that when a list control only used for instructing the electronic device to display the target-video list is provided in the landscape playback page, the first display area may further include a display area of the list control. Hereinafter, an example is used in which the first display area is the display area of the avatar and the user name of the current video author and the first trigger operation is the click operation acting on the first display area. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , the electronic device displays the landscape playback page, presents the first target video in the landscape playback page, and displays an avatar  211  and a user name  212  of the current video author of the first target video in a first display area  21 . When a user desires to view the target-video list of the current video author, the user clicks on the avatar  211  and/or the user name  212  of the current video author displayed in the landscape playback page. Accordingly, in response to monitoring the click operation acting on the avatar  211  and/or the user name  212  of the current video author, the electronic device determines that the first trigger operation is received. 
     In S 102 , in response to the first trigger operation, the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in a second display area of the landscape playback page, where the target-video list includes at least one video item of at least one target video published by the current video author. 
     The target-video list is a list for displaying the video item of the target video published by the current video author. The target video may be a video published by the current video author or may be a video published by the current video author and meeting a preset condition. The preset condition may be set as required. For example, the preset condition may be set to be that publishing time is within a preset time range or that an aspect ratio of a video frame is within a preset range, which is not limited in the embodiment. Considering a playback effect of the landscape playback page, for example, the preset condition may be set to be that the aspect ratio of the video frame is greater than a preset threshold. The preset threshold may be set as required to any value greater than or equal to 1, for example, may be set to 1 or 16/9. For example, when the preset threshold is 1, before the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page, the method further includes acquiring a landscape video published by the current video author as the target video, where a video-frame width of the landscape video is greater than a video-frame height of the landscape video. The video item of the target video may be understood as video information of the target video, such as a video cover of the target video and the number of times the target video is added to favorites (also referred to as the number of favorites). The second display area may be a preset area for displaying the target-video list and may be any area of the landscape playback page, such as an upper area, a lower area, a left area, or a right area of the landscape playback page. In the embodiment, for example, the second display area is a lower preset area of the landscape playback page. 
     In the embodiment, as shown in  FIG.  3   , the video item of the target video published by the current video author and displayed in a second display area  22  may be presented in the form of the video cover. The video cover may be a video frame in the video item of the target video or an image selected by the user and may be a static cover or a dynamic cover. The number of times the target video is added to favorites may be further displayed on the video cover. A sequence of video items of target videos in the target-video list may be set as required. For example, the video items of the target videos may be arranged in descending order of the number of times each target video is added to favorites/the number of times each target video is viewed/the number of times each target video is reposted, or the video items of the target videos may be arranged in sequential order of the target videos in a personal homepage of the current video author. The target-video list may include a video item  221  of the first target video and may further include video items  222  of a second target video, where the video item  221  of the first target video may be presented differently from the video items  222  of the second target video. For example, a video cover of the first target video may be presented at different brightness, a different frame may be set for the video cover of the first target video, and/or a playback identifier may be set for the video cover of the first target video. 
     In the embodiment, when the target-video list is displayed, a preset video item in the target-video list may be positioned by default. The preset video item may be the video item of the first target video, a video item of a foremost target video in the target-video list, a video item of a last target video in the target-video list, or a video item of an intermediate target video in the target-video list. For example, the preset video item may be set to be the video item of the first target video so that it is convenient for the user to position the first target video. In this case, the video item of the first target video is displayed, for example, at such a position that relatively many video items of target videos can be displayed in the second display area. For example, video items of five target videos can be displayed in the second display area. When the target-video list is displayed in response to the first trigger operation, if the number of video items preceding the first target video in the target-video list is not less than 2 and the number of video items following the first target video in the target-video list is not less than 2, the video item of the first target video may be displayed at a middle position of the second display area. When the number of video items preceding the video item of the first target video in the target-video list is less than 2, the video item of the foremost target video in the target-video list may be displayed on a leftmost side of the second display area and video items following the video item of the foremost target video are displayed in the sequence of the video items in the target-video list, as shown in  FIGS.  4  and  5    (where the foremost target video is, for example, the first target video). When the video item of the first target video is a fourth video item in the target-video list and the target-video list includes only 4 or 5 video items, the video item of the first target video may be displayed at a position for displaying the fourth video item in the second display area. When the video item of the first target video is a fifth video item in the target-video list and the target-video list includes only 5 video items, the video item of the first target video may be displayed at a position for displaying the fifth video item in the second display area. 
     For example, in response to receiving the first trigger operation, the electronic device may select the landscape videos, whose the video-frame widths are greater than the video-frame heights and which are among videos published by the current video author, as the target videos, arranges the video items of the target videos in the order of the target videos in the personal homepage of the current video author to obtain the target-video list, and displays, in the second display area, the video items of the target videos in the target-video list. Being loaded, the video items of the target videos may be presented in the form of a preset placeholder graphic, as shown in  FIG.  6   . Positions for displaying the video items of the target videos are indicated by placeholder graphics, and after a video item of a certain target video is loaded, a corresponding placeholder graphic of the target video may be replaced with the video item of the target video. Additionally, when video items of one or more target videos fail to be loaded, a loading failure prompt window may be popped up. The loading failure prompt window may be closed in response to monitoring an operation of the user which triggers the closure of the loading failure prompt window, or the loading failure prompt window may be automatically closed after the loading failure prompt window is displayed for a preset time length (such as 3 s or 5 s). 
     In an implementation, the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment may further include: in response to receiving a display stopping trigger operation for stopping displaying the video item of the target video, stopping displaying the target-video list in a preset display area. The display stopping trigger operation may be a click operation on a blank area (that is, an area with no control displayed and except the first display area and the second display area) or the first display area of the landscape playback page. In the embodiment, the electronic device may also stop displaying the target-video list based on the trigger operation of the user. That is, when the user desires to control the electronic device to no longer display the target-video list, the user may click on the blank area or the first display area of the landscape playback page. Accordingly, in response to monitoring the click operation of the user on the blank area or the first display area of the landscape playback page, the electronic device determines that the display stopping trigger operation is received and stops displaying the target-video list in the second display area. 
     In the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment, the first trigger operation acting on the first display area for displaying the author information of the current video author of the first target video in the landscape playback page is received, and in response to the first trigger operation, the target-video list including the video item of the target video published by the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page. 
     In the embodiment, by use of the preceding technical solutions, the video item of the target video published by the current video author is directly displayed in the landscape playback page without switches to a portrait playback page and the personal homepage of the current video author so that operations required for viewing the video of the current video author can be simplified. Moreover, since the video item of the target video published by the current video author is directly displayed in the landscape playback page without leaving the landscape playback page, the user can continue viewing the first target video when viewing the video of the current video author, thereby improving the landscape viewing experience of the user. 
       FIG.  7    is a flowchart of another landscape interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Solutions in the embodiment may be combined with one or more example solutions in the preceding embodiment. In the embodiment, for example, the at least one target video includes the first target video and the second target video. After the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page, the method further includes: in response to receiving a click operation acting on a video item of a second target video, playing the second target video selected by the click operation in the landscape playback page. 
     For example, the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment may further include: in response to the first trigger operation, displaying a viewing control in the landscape playback page; and in response to receiving a second trigger operation acting on the viewing control, switching a currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author to present, through the personal homepage, videos published by the current video author. 
     For example, after the currently displayed page is switched from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author, the method further includes: in response to receiving a third trigger operation acting on a return control in the personal homepage, switching the currently displayed page from the personal homepage back to the landscape playback page and playing the first target video and displaying the target-video list in the landscape playback page. 
     For example, the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment may further include: in response to receiving a fourth trigger operation acting on a close control in the landscape playback page, switching the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page; and playing the first target video in the portrait playback page; or playing, in the portrait playback page, a last historical video played using the portrait playback page. 
     Accordingly, as shown in  FIG.  7   , the landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment may include the steps below. 
     In S 201 , a first trigger operation acting on a first display area of a landscape playback page is received, where the first display area includes a display area of author information of a current video author, and the current video author is a publisher of a first target video in the landscape playback page. 
     In S 202 , in response to the first trigger operation, a target-video list of the current video author and a viewing control are displayed in a second display area of the landscape playback page. Then, S 203 , S 204 , or S 206  is performed. The target-video list includes at least one video item of at least one target video published by the current video author, and the at least one target video includes the first target video and a second target video. 
     In the embodiment, referring to  FIGS.  3  to  5   , while displaying the target-video list of the current video author in the second display area in response to the first trigger operation, an electronic device may also display a viewing control  23  for entering a personal homepage of the current video author in the landscape playback page so that it is convenient for a user to enter the personal homepage of the current video author by triggering the viewing control  23 . 
     A position of the viewing control  23  may be flexibly set. For example, the viewing control  23  may be provided at a fixed position which is not affected by the number of video items of target videos displayed in a second display area  22 , such as a position above the second display area, or the viewing control  23  may be provided at a position which varies with the number of video items of target videos displayed in the second display area  22 . For example, the second display area  22  can display video items of five target videos. When the video items displayed in the second display area  22  can completely occupy the second display area  22  (that is, five video items are displayed in the second display area  22 ) or four video items are displayed in the second display area  22 , the viewing control  23  may be displayed at a right position above the second display area  22 , as shown in  FIG.  3   . When the number of video items displayed in the second display area  22  is less than or equal to 3, the viewing control  23  may be displayed behind a video item displayed at a rightmost side in the second display area  22 , as shown in  FIGS.  4  and  5   . 
     In S 203 , in response to receiving a click operation acting on a video item of a second target video, the second target video selected by the click operation is played in the landscape playback page. The operations end. 
     The second target video may be understood as another target video except the first target video. Correspondingly, the second target video selected by the click operation may be understood as a second target video corresponding to the video item clicked by the click operation. 
     In the embodiment, the electronic device may switch the first target video to a target video selected by the user from the target-video list. For example, the electronic device displays the target-video list of the current video author in the landscape playback page. When the user desires to view a certain target video in the target-video list, the user clicks on a video item of the target video displayed in the landscape playback page. Accordingly, in response to monitoring a click operation acting on a certain video item in the landscape playback page, the electronic device may determine whether the video item is a video item of a second target video. If the video item is the video item of the second target video, the second target video is played in the landscape playback page, that is, the first target video in the landscape playback page is replaced with the second target video. If the video item is not the video item of the second target video, the click operation may not be responded to or the first target video may be replayed. 
     In this step, when a certain second target video is played, the second target video may be played with an initial position of the second target video as a playback starting point, that is, the second target video is played from a first video frame of the second target video. The second target video may continue being played from a time node to which the second target video was last played, so as to further improve the viewing experience of the user. 
     In an implementation, when the second target video continues being played from the time node to which the second target video was last played, the step in which the second target video selected by the click operation is played in the landscape playback page includes: updating a first historical playback node of the first target video to a time node to which the first target video is played at a current moment and determining a second historical playback node of the second target video; and continuing to play the second target video selected by the click operation in the landscape playback page with the second historical playback node as the playback starting point. 
     In the preceding implementation, the first historical playback node is a historical playback node of the first target video, the second historical playback node is a historical playback node of the second target video selected by the click operation, and the historical playback node of a certain target video (including the first target video or the second target video) may be understood as a time node to which the target video is played for the last time. The time node to which the target video is played for the last time may be a time node to which the target video is played when the target video is viewed for the last time by the user after an account login. The time node to which the target video is played for the last time may be a time node to which the target video is played when the target video is viewed for the last time by the user after a landscape playback mode is entered this time. In this case, when the user views a certain target video for the first time in the landscape playback mode, that is, when the electronic device has not recorded a historical playback node of the target video, the electronic device plays the target video from a starting node of the target video. When the user views the target video again in the landscape playback mode, the electronic device continues to play the target video from the time node to which the target video was last viewed. When the user views the target video again after exiting the landscape playback mode, the electronic device replays the target video from the starting node of the target video. Accordingly, after the landscape playback mode is switched to a portrait playback mode based on a trigger operation of the user, the electronic device may empty information about time nodes to which target videos are played and recorded in the landscape playback mode. When switched directly or indirectly from the landscape playback page to a portrait playback page, the electronic device may determine that the user exits the landscape playback mode, that is, current landscape playback ends. 
     For example, in response to receiving the click operation acting on the video item of the second target video, the electronic device records the time node to which the first target video is currently played as the first historical playback node of the first target video and determines whether a pre-recorded second historical playback node exists for the second target video selected by the click operation. If the pre-recorded second historical playback node exists, the second target video continues being played in the landscape playback page with the second historical playback node of the second target video as the playback starting point. If the pre-recorded second historical playback node does not exist, the second target video is played in the landscape playback page with the starting node of the second target video as the playback starting point. 
     In the preceding implementation, when playing the second target video selected by the click operation received by the electronic device, the electronic device may or may not display the target-video list of the current video author. That is, in response to receiving a click operation acting on a video item of a certain second target video, the electronic device may play the second target video in the landscape playback page and continue displaying the target-video list of the current video author in the second display area or the electronic device may play the second target video in the landscape playback page and stop displaying the target-video list of the current video author, which is not limited in the embodiment. 
     In an implementation, the user may also update the video item displayed in the second display area by a slide operation. For example, after the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page, the method may further include: in response to receiving a target slide operation acting on the second display area, controlling the video item displayed in the second display area to move along a sliding direction of the target slide operation to update the video item displayed in the second display area. 
     The target slide operation may be a slide operation whose sliding direction is the same as an arrangement direction of video items in the second display area. That is, when the video items of the target videos are arranged in a transverse sequence in the second display area, the target slide operation may be a transverse slide operation. When the video items of the target videos are arranged in a longitudinal sequence in the second display area, the target slide operation may be a longitudinal slide operation. 
     For example, the video items of the target videos are arranged in the transverse sequence in the second display area. When the user desires to update the video item displayed in the second display area, the user may perform a transverse slide in the second display area. Accordingly, in response to monitoring the transverse slide of the user in the second display area, the electronic device determines that the target slide operation is received, controls the video items in the second display area to synchronously move along the sliding direction of the transverse slide operation, and loads and displays a video item on the other side of the loaded video items. That is, when the user slides rightwards, the video items in the second display area are controlled to synchronously move rightwards and another video item on a left side of a video item displayed on a leftmost side is loaded; and when the user slides leftwards, the video items in the second display area are controlled to synchronously move leftwards and another video item on a right side of a video item displayed on a rightmost side is loaded. When the another video item has not been successfully loaded, the another video item may be presented in the form of a placeholder graphic in the second display area, as shown in  FIG.  8    (where a video item on a rightmost side of the second display area is, for example, the another video item to be loaded). 
     When the another video item is being loaded, a video loading prompt window may be popped up to prompt the user. 
     In S 204 , in response to receiving a second trigger operation acting on the viewing control, a currently displayed page is switched from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author so as to present, through the personal homepage, videos published by the current video author. 
     The second trigger operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to switch the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author and may be a click operation or a slide operation acting on the viewing control. For example, the second trigger operation is the click operation acting on the viewing control. When the personal homepage of the current video author is switched to, a video cover of the first target video may be presented in the personal homepage in a style different from those of video covers of other videos so that it is convenient for the user to determine the first target video that has just been viewed in the landscape playback page. 
     For example, in response to receiving the first trigger operation, the electronic device displays the target-video list of the current video author and the viewing control in the landscape playback page. When the user desires to view a video list of all the videos (including the target video and a non-target video) published by the current video author or when the user desires to switch the currently displayed page to the personal homepage of the current video author to view other information (such as developments or favorite videos of the current video author) displayed in the current video author or to trigger a control displayed in the personal homepage, the user may click on the viewing control displayed in the landscape playback page. Accordingly, in response to monitoring the click of the user on the viewing control in the landscape playback page, the electronic device determines that the second trigger operation is received and switches the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author, that is, stops displaying the landscape playback page, stops playing the first target video, and displays the personal homepage of the current video author. 
     In S 205 , in response to receiving a third trigger operation acting on a return control in the personal homepage, the currently displayed page is switched from the personal homepage back to the landscape playback page and the first target video is played and the target-video list is displayed in the landscape playback page. The operations end. 
     The third trigger operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to return the currently displayed page from the personal homepage to a page from which the currently displayed page is switched to the personal homepage. In the embodiment, after the currently displayed page is switched from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author, the third trigger operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to switch the currently displayed page from the personal homepage of the current video author back to the landscape playback page. The third trigger operation may be a click operation or a slide operation acting on the return control. For example, the third trigger operation is the click operation acting on the return control. 
     For example, the electronic device displays the personal homepage of the current video author and displays, in the personal homepage, the videos published by the current video author, the developments of the current video author, and/or the favorite videos of the current video author. When the user desires to return to the landscape playback page to view the video, the user may click on the return control displayed in the personal homepage of the current video author. Accordingly, in response to monitoring the click of the user on the return control in the personal homepage, the electronic device determines that the currently displayed personal homepage is switched to from the landscape playback page, switches the currently displayed page from the personal homepage of the current video author back to the landscape playback page, and restores the landscape playback page to a state when the landscape playback page is switched to the personal homepage of the current video author, that is, continues to play the first target video in the landscape playback page and displays the target-video list of the current video author in the second display area of the landscape playback page. 
     In S 206 , in response to receiving a fourth trigger operation acting on a close control in the landscape playback page, the currently displayed page is switched from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page. 
     In S 207 , the first target video is played in the portrait playback page; or a last historical video played using the portrait playback page is played in the portrait playback page. 
     In the embodiment, the fourth trigger operation may be used for instructing the electronic device to exit from the landscape playback mode, that is, to switch the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page. The fourth trigger operation may be a click operation or a slide operation acting on the close control in the landscape playback page. For example, the fourth trigger operation is the click operation acting on the close control in the landscape playback page. The landscape playback mode may be switched to from the portrait playback mode. Correspondingly, the last historical video played using the portrait playback page may be a video displayed in the portrait playback page when the electronic device switches the currently displayed page from the portrait playback page to the landscape playback page. 
     For example, as shown in  FIGS.  2  to  5   , the electronic device displays the landscape playback page, displays a close control  24  at a set position of the landscape playback page (for example, an upper right corner of the landscape playback page), and displays the first target video in the landscape playback page. When the user desires to exit the landscape playback mode, the user clicks on the close control  24 . Accordingly, in response to monitoring the click of the user on the close control  24  in the landscape playback page, the electronic device determines that the fourth trigger operation is received, and switches the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page and plays the first target video in the portrait playback page or switches the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page and plays, in the portrait playback page, the last historical video played using the portrait playback page. 
     The landscape interaction method provided in the embodiment can not only implement switches between the landscape playback mode and the portrait playback mode but also implement video switches based on a video playlist. Moreover, after the landscape playback page is switched to the personal homepage, when the user exits the personal homepage, the landscape playback page can be switched back to instead of being switched to via the portrait playback page and based on a trigger operation of the user so that the user can continue to view the first target video in the landscape playback page and the operations of the user can be further simplified, improving the landscape interaction experience of the user. 
       FIG.  9    is a block diagram of a landscape interaction apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware and may be configured in an electronic device. Typically, the apparatus may be configured in a smartphone or a tablet computer. The apparatus may perform a landscape interaction method to perform landscape interaction. As shown in  FIG.  9   , the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may include an operation receiving module  901  and a list display module  902 . 
     The operation receiving module  901  is configured to receive a first trigger operation acting on a first display area of a landscape playback page, where the first display area includes a display area of author information of a current video author, and the current video author is a publisher of a first target video in the landscape playback page. 
     The list display module  902  is configured to, in response to the first trigger operation, display a target-video list of the current video author in a second display area of the landscape playback page, where the target-video list includes at least one video item of at least one target video published by the current video author. 
     In the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment, the operation receiving module receives the first trigger operation acting on the first display area for displaying the author information of the current video author of the first target video in the landscape playback page, and in response to the first trigger operation, the list display module displays the target-video list including the video item of the target video published by the current video author in the second display area of the landscape playback page. In the embodiment, by use of the preceding technical solutions, the video item of the target video published by the current video author is directly displayed in the landscape playback page without switches to a portrait playback page and a personal homepage of the current video author so that operations required for viewing the video of the current video author can be simplified. Moreover, since the video item of the target video published by the current video author is directly displayed in the landscape playback page without leaving the landscape playback page, the user can continue viewing the first target video when viewing the video of the current video author, thereby improving the landscape viewing experience of the user. 
     For example, the target video includes the first target video and a second target video. The landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may further include a video playback module. The video playback module is configured to, in response to receiving a click operation acting on a video item of a second target video after the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page, play the second target video selected by the click operation in the landscape playback page. 
     In the preceding solution, the video playback module may be configured to, in response to receiving the click operation acting on the video item of the second target video, update a first historical playback node of the first target video to a time node to which the first target video is played at a current moment, determine a second historical playback node of the second target video, and continue to play the second target video selected by the click operation in the landscape playback page with the second historical playback node as a playback starting point. 
     In the preceding solution, the video playback module may be further configured to stop displaying the target-video list in the second display area. 
     For example, the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may further include a control display module and a homepage display module. The control display module is configured to, in response to the first trigger operation, display a viewing control in the landscape playback page. The homepage display module is configured to, in response to receiving a second trigger operation acting on the viewing control, switch a currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author to present, through the personal homepage, videos published by the current video author. 
     For example, the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may further include a page return module. The page return module is configured to, in response to receiving a third trigger operation acting on a return control in the personal homepage after the currently displayed page is switched from the landscape playback page to the personal homepage of the current video author, switch the currently displayed page from the personal homepage back to the landscape playback page and play the first target video and display the target-video list in the landscape playback page. 
     For example, the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may further include a video determination module. The video determination module is configured to, before the target-video list of the current video author is displayed in the second display area of the landscape playback page, acquire a landscape video published by the current video author as the target video, where a video-frame width of the landscape video is greater than a video-frame height of the landscape video. 
     For example, the landscape interaction apparatus provided in the embodiment may further include a portrait switching module and a portrait playback module. The portrait switching module is configured to, in response to receiving a fourth trigger operation acting on a close control in the landscape playback page, switch the currently displayed page from the landscape playback page to the portrait playback page. The portrait playback module is configured to play the first target video in the portrait playback page or play, in the portrait playback page, a last historical video played using the portrait playback page.
