Challenges with Legacy Smart TV App Support

The client's existing music streaming app faced challenges in supporting older Smart TV models (Samsung and LG) due to platform limitations (Tizen and WebOS versions), DRM compatibility issues (PlayReady), and performance bottlenecks. Maintaining separate codebases for legacy and newer devices was becoming increasingly costly and inefficient. Samsung's Content Security Policy (CSP) further complicated development and deployment on Tizen.

About the Client

A media entertainment company focused on delivering streaming services to a wide range of devices.

Project Goals

Modernize and unify the Smart TV app codebase for Samsung and LG platforms.
Optimize app performance on low-end Smart TV devices.
Reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
Ensure compatibility with a wide range of Smart TV models and Chromium versions.
Successfully launch updated apps on Samsung and LG app stores.

Functional Requirements

Music playback (streaming and local files)
User authentication and authorization
Search functionality
Playlist management
Playback controls (play, pause, skip, volume)
Integration with DRM systems (Widevine)
Content discovery and recommendations

Preferred Technologies

React (for UI development)

JavaScript

HTML5

CSS3

WebSockets (for real-time features)

React Virtualized (for optimized rendering)

Integrations Required

Widevine (DRM)
Samsung App Store
LG Content Store

Key Non-Functional Requirements

Performance (smooth playback, minimal lag)
Scalability (handle a growing user base)
Security (secure DRM implementation, protection against attacks)
Maintainability (modular codebase, easy updates)
Compatibility (support a wide range of Smart TV models and Chromium versions)

Expected Business Impact

This project will significantly reduce maintenance costs by consolidating the codebase and simplifying updates. Improved app performance and wider device compatibility will enhance user satisfaction and expand the client's reach. Successful app store submissions will unlock new revenue opportunities and strengthen the client's brand presence in the Smart TV market.
