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

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
