Implementation of an IPTV Client on SmartTVs - Flutter and Samsung Tizen
summary
Prototype moves a legacy IPTV client onto Flutter Tizen with a three‑week UI prototype and full migration starting April 2022, using Bloc, go_router, Dio and automated tests. Key work is replacing proprietary HLS with MPEG‑DASH and fMP4, adding DRM ( Widevine/PlayReady/FairPlay ) and supporting CENC/CBCS, plus adapting the streaming server. Development uses 35+ platform plugins, solves remote‑control mapping and focus handling, and accepts emulator limits (no DRM/audio) while release builds run smoothly on real Samsung TVs.
