Project Synopsis

The client needed a live-streaming app for actors where they could create an event according to their availability and requirements and can set the price of the ticket and the slots. The actors have two different platforms to live stream, one is Tokbox, and the other is RTMP provided by AWS. In RTMP, Actors can stream in HD or ultra HD quality according to their needs.

We also added features for End Users. The users would see all the upcoming events created by an Actor and can book tickets for particular events.

Key challenges

Key Challenges	Key Solutions
RTMP is a streaming publisher which provides a link to AWS, which our developers had yet to work on.	For RTMP streaming, we used a react native package, i.e., react-native-rtmp-publisher, to solve the issue, which provided various functionality through which it was integrated successfully.
We needed a specific video player to support media URLs and play the streaming video to support RTMP.	To play the live stream, we needed a video player that supports the RTMP publisher’s link. We used the Amazon-ivs-react-native-player package.
Our team researched RTMP publishers and video players supporting the specific URL.

Solution Implementation

Process

Develop the User Interface: The first step was to develop an intuitive user interface that allows players to design & customize their sports clothing easily. The interface featured a drag-and-drop editor, where players could select from various design elements and add their logos, names & numbers.

Develop the Management Dashboard: The next step was to develop a centralized management dashboard enabling team managers & coaches to easily manage player orders, approve designs, and track inventory. The dashboard featured a simple user interface providing access to all necessary functions.

Integrate Advanced Printing Technology: The system integrates advanced printing technology to accurately reduce vibrant colors and intricate designs. This technology uses high-quality, non-toxic inks that are environmentally friendly.

Quality Control: The system underwent a rigorous quality control process to ensure the highest quality prints. This included testing the printing technology, verifying the designs’ accuracy, and ensuring each player received the correct customized apparel.

Launch and Support: Once the system was developed, it was launched and supported by our team of experts. We provided ongoing support to ensure that the system met the needs of sports teams and continued to provide reliable and efficient customization management.

Results

The final product is a high-performing, feature-packed, easy-to-use live streaming app that allows actors and viewers to manage their schedules as per the shows. It is appreciated by the client and highly acknowledged by its users.
