About

The OTT platform was engineered to deliver secure, offline-first video streaming with a modern subscription system. Users can download videos in multiple resolutions, enjoy encrypted offline playback, and sync progress seamlessly across devices. Live TV with EPG navigation and Android TV remote support expands accessibility, while the admin panel enables role-based management of users, subscriptions, and content. By integrating FFmpeg, AWS S3, and CloudFront, we ensured low-latency adaptive streaming with scalable content delivery. The result is a future-ready OTT ecosystem that combines mobile convenience, TV compatibility, and subscription-driven monetization — ideal for media startups, e-learning platforms, and entertainment providers.
