Could you build this?

Partial A basic web IPTV player parsing M3U feeds is vibe-codeable, but deploying optimized native players across 10+ smart TV platforms (Tizen, webOS, Roku, Fire TV) with DRM, hardware-accelerated playback, and platform-specific stores requires platform-specific development.

What it would actually take: A true multi-platform TV app requires React Native / Kotlin for Android/Fire TV, Tizen .wgt packages with Web APIs, webOS Moonstone/Enact frameworks, and BrightScript for Roku, each integrating with hardware video decoders (ExoPlayer, AVPlay) and handling low-memory constrained embedded hardware.
