Abstract: A playlist interface is provided for display on a user device, the playlist interface comprising a selectable indicator located after a first media item in a playlist, the selectable indicator presented in the playlist interface after the first media item to indicate that, upon selection, a second media item is to be added after the first media item in the playlist, wherein the second media item is an interstitial. Upon a user selection of the selectable indicator located after the first media item in the playlist interface, a plurality of user interface (UI) elements are caused to be presented to allow a user of the user device to specify configuration parameters for the interstitial being added to the playlist. User input is received for at least a subset of the plurality of UI elements to specify the configuration parameters for the interstitial.

Abstract: A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating first metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The first metrics include a first metric indicating a first duration of playback of a first content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the first content item during the playback of the playlist is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric to a creator or curator of the playlist, logging second user interactions associated with the playlist, and generating second metrics based on the logged second user interactions with the playlist. The logged first user interactions correspond to more deviations from a default playback sequence of the playlist than the logged second user interactions.

Abstract: A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating first metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The first metrics include a first metric indicating a first duration of playback of a first content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the first content item during the playback of the playlist is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric to a creator or curator of the playlist, logging second user interactions associated with the playlist, and generating second metrics based on the logged second user interactions with the playlist. The logged first user interactions correspond to more deviations from a default playback sequence of the playlist than the logged second user interactions.

Abstract: A method includes generating metrics based on a first plurality of interactions with first content of a playlist. A first metric indicates approval of a first content item of the playlist and a second metric indicates a first duration of playback of a second content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the second content item is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric and the second metric and receiving a modified playlist. The modified playlist may be the playlist modified based on at least the first metric. The method further includes identifying, in captured data associated with access to the modified playlist, a second plurality of interactions with second content of the modified playlist. The second plurality of interactions corresponds to fewer deviations than the first plurality of interactions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing playlist analytics. A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The playlist is associated with a default playback sequence of the content items. A first metric indicates a last content item played by a user from the playlist is different from a last content item in the default playback sequence associated with of the playlist. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric. The playlist is to be modified based on one or more of the plurality of metrics.

Abstract: An interstitial creator provides an interstitial creation interface for display on a user device, the interstitial creation interface facilitating addition of an interstitial to a playlist comprising pointers to media files of media items to be played one after another on the user device without user interaction. The interstitial creator receives, through the interstitial creation interface, user input specifying interstitial configuration parameters for the interstitial, and creates the interstitial based on an interstitial template and the received interstitial configuration parameters, wherein the created interstitial is supplemental content to be added before or after one of the media files of the media items.
