    Prime Video (Android TV) Ad & Playback System Design — A Reverse-Engineering Analysis


A ground-up reconstruction of how the Prime Video "living room" app
(com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom) schedules, resolves, and stitches
advertisements into on-demand playback — derived entirely from on-device
observation: in-process memory capture at the libignite.so copy boundary,
logcat from the app's own runtime, DASH-manifest dumps, and static analysis
of the shipped binary.
Every claim below is grounded in bytes we actually watched cross the wire or

A companion to working code. Every claim below is grounded in bytes we actually
watched cross the heap on a real device (Onn 4K Android TV, Netflix
com.netflix.ninja 13.0.1-25028), not in what the code "should" do. Where a
thing was proven on-device it says so; where it's an inference it says that too.

    Pluto TV (Android TV) Ad & Playback System Design — A Reverse-Engineering Analysis


A ground-up reconstruction of how the Pluto TV Android TV app
(tv.pluto.android, 5.66.0-leanback) schedules and stitches advertisements
into on-demand (VOD) playback — and where that pipeline can be cut. Derived
entirely from on-device observation on a retail Onn 4K Plus (Google TV,
Android 14, armeabi-v7a): logcat from the app's own runtime, an AdGuard
Premium filtering-log capture, a bytecode hook that logs the parsed DASH
manifest, and static analysis of the shipped dex.

                Netflix's web architecture reverse-engineered from live network traffic -- 18 named internal systems (Akira, Cadmium, Shakti, Pinot, MSL, FTL, Ichnaea...), dual API migration (Falcor → GraphQL), video streaming pipeline, DRM flow, search capability negotiation, and the full content data model. All from 177 captured requests.
              
          
    Netflix System Design: A Grounded Teardown

A reverse-engineered system design of Netflix's web application, built entirely from live network traffic analysis of the authenticated browse experience. 177 requests captured, every API contract inspected, every subsystem named.
