STARTING POINT
The central challenge
Television, desktop and in-car interfaces have different inputs, constraints and expectations; a universal client would compromise all of them.
CASE STUDY APPLICATIONS
Video Stream Player
One search experience, adapted to every screen.
Case study of Video Stream Player: shared search, history and playback across macOS, web, mobile, Android TV and CarLink with platform-specific clients.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
One search experience, adapted to every screen.
Video Stream Player connects search and playback across devices. Core history and logic stay familiar, while navigation and the player adapt to desktop, television, mobile and car environments.
GOAL AND SOLUTION
From a real need to a working whole.
DESIGNED SOLUTION
One connected solution
Search and history are shared at service level, while each client uses navigation and playback technology suited to its device.
OUR ROLE AND PROCESS
End-to-end work. One responsibility.
- Product strategy and process analysis
- UX/UI and prototyping
- Architecture and development
- Data model and integrations
- Testing and security
- Deployment and further development
Map the work
We separate the real problem from steps created only by limitations of existing tools.
Design the system
We define the data model, key scenarios and an interface that remains clear in daily use.
Build the product
Frontend, logic, data and integrations come together in one working system.
Validate real operation
We test critical paths, access, error states and realistic use before further development.
WHAT THE APPLICATION DOES
Important functions without unnecessary layers.
Content search
A single entry point helps find a file without manually browsing its sources.
Playback history
Unfinished content and recent items remain available across clients.
Desktop and web
The interface supports computer use as well as quick access in a browser.
Android TV
Navigation is designed for a remote control, a large screen and playback through ExoPlayer.
CarLink
A dedicated client uses a suitable player and simpler controls for the in-car environment.
More resilient streaming
The transport layer distinguishes source errors from interrupted transfers and can safely restore a valid connection.
TECHNOLOGY
A technical foundation shaped by the project.
The verified stack combines Next.js, React, TypeScript, Electron, Kotlin, Android TV, ExoPlayer, Cloudflare, Upstash, VLC. Each technology was selected for the role it performs in the product, with maintainability and real operation in mind.

OUTCOME
A focused digital result built around real use.
The product maintains one recognisable user logic without ignoring how each screen is actually used, from keyboard and mouse to remote control.
