An Android TV app that uses a video library to play videos as Live TV Channels.

[Pixels52]

Project description

I want to limit the unlimited access of youtube and netflix for my kids.

This app will be able to define channels based upon directories in local usb or network drives and based on the current time, play contents and appear to be showing live channels, where one can use remote to switch channels and is not able to rewind the contents.

App settings can be accessed or instead a text config file system in the usb drive can also be used.

Complexity and required time

Complexity

• [x] Intermediate - The user should have some prior knowledge of the technolog(y|ies) to the point where they know how to use it, but not necessarily all the nooks and crannies of the technology

Required time (ETA)

• [x] Medium work - A week or two

Categories

• [x] Futuristic Tech/Something Unique

That's too niche and likely an XY problem.

appear to be showing live

Why ?

not able to rewind the contents

Why ?

It seems like you basically just need a watch timer, unless the issue is needing to support a pause functionality? I thought youtube already had something like this.
