While developing an application of video streaming the biggest issue we were facing was the large size video upload in server without session timeout. And after uploading the video, while rendering it should render properly without too much buffer was also a hard one to deal with.
Our Client wanted the functionality of video play with resume path, that is where the user lastly pause the video while watching and when the user again starts the same video it should start with where it was paused lastly.
Another issue was to allow users to watch the videos, movies, series on the large screen as well.
The first strategy for the app was to develop a video streaming app that can be used to stream series and movies in various qualities. The app should have a large size of content.
The second strategy was to design UI/ UX that delivers the best experience to the users and one that makes it easy for the users to browse and search series and movies according to their mood.
The last strategy was to develop such a unique business model that can be profitable for the MPTV team, but at the same time, it should be affordable for the users to buy the subscription of the app.
