Challenges

1. Managing Vertical and Horizontal Scroll:

In the media category page, every category contains content into it. E.g., If there is a comedy category, it will have various comedy videos or images. The app consists of a feature where users can scroll horizontally and vertically to view a particular type and its content. Managing content as per horizontal and vertical scroll was indeed demanding and challenging. However, using custom logic and calculation, our developers managed this scenario quite efficiently.

2. Video Memory Management:

When a user clicks on two videos to play simultaneously, managing video buffer and device memory and allocating memory to video as per its stage was quite complicated. Using PlayBackStateChange delegate, our developers worked this scenario quite efficiently.
