Could you build this?

Partial A basic media player can be created, but native cross-platform media players for Android TV, Fire TV, and particularly Roku (written in BrightScript) with local USB OTG file system access require specialized platform knowledge.

What it would actually take: The app requires native development for two completely distinct platforms: Android TV / Fire TV (Kotlin/Java using Android's MediaStore and ExoPlayer libraries with USB host APIs) and Roku OS (custom Roku SceneGraph and BrightScript). The hard part is handling fragmented USB hardware mounts, permission quirks across Android TV versions, and coding BrightScript for Roku's niche, closed-source media player framework.
