​Building VaroTV for the German market: UX insights on external players like Smarters Pro & TiviMate?

Wait 5 sec.

​Hello everyone, ​I’m currently developing VaroTV, a streaming project designed specifically for German-speaking users. ​During our user research, we noticed that a large segment of users prefers accessing live TV streams using multi-platform players like Smarters Pro or TiviMate due to their familiar interface and playlist customization. ​As we optimize the backend and user experience, I’d love to hear your technical thoughts: ​What specific UI/UX features make external players like Smarters Pro so popular among TV viewers? ​Is it better to focus on building a fully custom standalone app, or to prioritize API compatibility (like Xtream codes) for popular external media players? ​Looking forward to your feedback and insights   submitted by   /u/Key-Pain154 [link]   [comments]
