Could you build this?

Partial The app UI and HLS player are vibe-codeable as a template, but it must run correctly on LG webOS and Samsung Tizen hardware with remote-control behaviour. Platform store certification also requires real devices and SDK knowledge.

What it would actually take: Build with the webOS and Tizen web SDKs, using HLS.js or the native media APIs and a JSON catalogue feed. The hard parts are testing adaptive playback, focus and remote key handling on physical TVs of varied performance, and passing LG and Samsung app review. That requires device labs and platform-specific expertise.
