Could you build this?
Partial While an Android TV UI can be vibe-coded, implementing multi-protocol network storage (SMB/NFS/WebDAV) streaming alongside smooth hardware-accelerated media decoding on low-spec Fire TV devices requires specialized native media player work.
What it would actually take: A production version would use Kotlin with Android Jetpack / Leanback and ExoPlayer (or VLC/Ijkplayer bindings). The challenging parts are integrating reliable, high-performance SMB/NFS/WebDAV client libraries that support chunked streaming and buffer management without blocking UI threads, along with local caching of metadata and posters for low-RAM streaming sticks. It requires expertise in native Android development, media pipelines, and embedded device profiling.
