As the SARFT authorized broadcast control platform, we provide users with massive amounts of genuine video resources. The content coverage includes movies, TV dramas, variety shows, and anime. Documentary and other resources to meet the family's viewing needs!

Millet's UI design is relatively pure in the overall visual sense, and the content is basically embodied in one screen. Of course, there is a second set of menus. Overall, it is still a combination of content and navigation.
