Media Player App for Android TV & Fire TV

Media Player App for Android TV & Fire TV

A media player app for Android TV and Fire TV, built for a client, that gives viewers a single, remote-friendly interface for streaming live TV, movies, and series from the playlists they already subscribe to.

Highlights

  • Support for the common playlist and portal formats, with QR-code scanning to add a playlist from a phone instead of typing long URLs on a remote.
  • Customisable audio and subtitle languages, aspect ratio, and UI themes, plus playlist sorting, favourites, and group management.
  • Parental controls and app-level password protection to restrict access to selected content.
  • Licensing built in — devices start on a free trial and are activated through the backend control panel.

My Role

I developed this app for the client, building the TV app experience along with the backend control panel and APIs used to manage devices and content.
