Built for scale, designed for real use

TViO is a software media player and companion application. It does not host, provide or distribute any media content. Users connect their own licensed content sources and TViO provides the interface, navigation, guide support and device management layer on top.

The platform is designed for users who want a premium, TV-first experience for their personal media libraries — with a clean companion dashboard for managing sources, devices and account settings across up to 5 paired devices.

TViO is designed with a cloud-ready, AWS-compatible architecture that supports scalable backend processing, secure authentication, real-time data synchronisation and future AI-assisted features.

We plan to leverage AWS services for: scalable backend API infrastructure, user authentication and session management, large source and guide data processing pipelines, metadata caching and CDN delivery, device pairing and real-time sync, snapshot generation and storage, usage monitoring, alerting and observability, and future AI-assisted metadata enrichment and content recommendation.

One of TViO's core technical challenges is handling very large media datasets — libraries with tens of thousands of entries, alongside full program guide data — without performance degradation.

The architecture is built to process, parse and cache large source datasets efficiently, with background processing pipelines and incremental updates to avoid blocking the user experience.

TViO pairs a TV application with a web companion dashboard. Changes made in the companion — such as source updates, plan changes or device management — are reflected in real time on paired devices.

This requires a robust, low-latency synchronisation layer that can handle multiple concurrent device connections per account.

User accounts, device sessions and source data are handled with security-first practices. Authentication is managed via secure token-based flows with short-lived sessions and refresh token rotation.

User content source data is never shared between accounts and is stored encrypted at rest.

TViO is designed to scale with its user base. The backend is stateless where possible, allowing horizontal scaling without architectural changes. Processing pipelines are event-driven to handle burst workloads efficiently.

Future development includes AI-assisted metadata enrichment, personalised content recommendations based on viewing patterns, and automated snapshot generation for artwork and guide imagery at scale.
