Challenges and Approach

  • Content Aggregation & Discovery
     A core challenge was sourcing and maintaining a rich, up-to-date content catalogue (movies and TV shows) from third-party platforms.
  • Dual Player Integration (ExoPlayer + VLC Player)
     Streaming apps typically offer a single media player, which can limit compatibility and performance across various formats.
  • Advanced Audio & Subtitle Options
     Supporting multi-language audio and subtitles—especially custom subtitle uploads—posed a challenge across devices.
  •  Video Quality Selection
     Many apps lack dynamic control over streaming quality, resulting in inconsistent viewing experiences.

  • Integrated APIs from IMDb and TMDb for metadata, posters, descriptions, and trailers.
  • Implemented ExoPlayer for its native Android optimization and wide codec support.
  • Provided internal audio/subtitle selection through player capabilities (ExoPlayer/VLC).
  • Built a custom quality selector allowing users to choose between SD, HD, Full HD, and UHD resolutions.
