Hi,
(forget what I wrote before because I had read very badly)

Follow what Ibrahim said down here.

Hi friend, welcome to Kodular .
Making a full OTT platform (like Netflix or Disney+) is a big project, but you can start step by step. Here are the main things you will need,

1. Video Hosting

Kodular cannot host videos directly.

You need a video hosting server (e.g., Firebase Storage, YouTube unlisted links, Vimeo, or your own server).

Store your video links in a database.

2. Database (For Content & Users)

Use Firebase Realtime Database or Airtable/Google Sheets to store,

Movie/Series Title

Thumbnail/Poster URL

Description

Video Link (hidden from users, only streamable)

Category (Action, Drama, etc.)

3. Video Player

You can use ExoPlayer for streaming videos.

You can load links from your database into ExoPlayer.

V1.0.5 Exoplayer for AppInventor | Play media with Google's Exoplayer

[Thumbnail] Exoplayer A better free video player such as Google’s Exoplayer has always been missing from AppInventor based platforms. But now its here and its free and open source. Important Note : With the new release of Version 1.0.2, the extension has been seprated into two extensions namely core and ui. This is done to separate ui from core functionality.

For better design, put poster image + play button → when clicked → open video player screen.

4. User Accounts (Option)

[Guide] How to use Firebase Authentication on

Hello Koders! In this guide, I’m going to explain how to use the “Firebase Authentication” component in yoour apps and it’s utilities. I hope you find it useful What is Firebase Authentication? Firebase Authentication is a service that allow your users to log in and sing up into your app. Basically, you can have a login service for free with this componet/service. You don’t need any extension, because already have it. How to add it? It’s simple. Go to the …

If you want login/signup like Netflix, use Firebase Authentication (Email/Password).

You can also make free access first, then later add login.

5. Design UI

Create screens like

Home → Shows categories with posters.

Category Screen → Show all movies in that category. You can use Recyclerlist

[Guide] RecyclerList - Google Spreadsheet - Custom Search - How to Add/Delete/Update records

Today I will show you how to get data from gsheet, how to use a custom search and also how to add, delete or update records with RecyclerList extension by @zainulhassan . For this I used [FREE] Google Sheets for AppInventor (replicant) using Google Apps Script - Extensions - MIT App Inventor Community by @TimAi2 and a google app script bound to my spreadsheet. I used Web App Script by @TimAi2 For those who do not know how to to bound a script please reffer to METRIC RAT AI2 - HOWTO: Create a …

Video Player Screen → Play selected movie.

6. Extra Features (Advanced)

Favorites / Watchlist → Store user’s selected movies in Firebase.

Subscription system → Needs Payment Gateway (not simple in Kodular).

---

Tip: Start small. Don’t try to build full Netflix on day 1. First, make a simple app that:

1. Shows movie posters from Firebase.

2. When clicked → plays video using ExoPlayer.

Once this works, you can keep improving it.

Also check out on YouTube there’s some tutorials, I recommend searching in the community Kodular

How to get started?

A very good way to learn App Inventor or Kodular is to read the free Inventor’s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps … the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ‘teaches’ users how to program with AI2 blocks. There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are descr…
