Case Study: Samsung and LG TVs achieve synchronized interactive viewing with Oxagile

Samsung and LG TVs expand Smart TV support to 2 platforms with Oxagile

The customer, a streaming service provider for Samsung and LG TVs, sought to develop smart TV applications for Tizen and WebOS platforms to offer users an interactive, second-screen viewing experience. Their main challenge was synchronizing video streams between the TV and a mobile phone app across a variety of television models, which was complicated by differing TV behaviors. They engaged the vendor, Oxagile, to build this solution.

Oxagile delivered the smart TV applications by developing a special synchronization algorithm with retry mechanisms for mismatched points. This ensured a perfectly synchronized and immersive viewing experience. The solution successfully passed rigorous cross-platform QA testing and overcame app store submission challenges, leading to its approval. The project's next phases involve expanding support to older TV models and new platforms to enhance compatibility, all achieved through Oxagile's expertise.
