Business Needs/ About Project
Build a music video competition app where every hip hop & R&B artist and musicians from different corners of the world can get their voice record and heard seamlessly. The main aim of the client was to build a one-of-a-kind video recording platform inviting producers and musicians at the global level to where producers can submit their beats, and based on the selected beat musician records the video and upload it. The most voted videos stand a chance to win the cash prize at the end of the week. This platform can act as a gateway for musicians to participate in professional content like Cyphers, documentary series, and more.
• Challenge
Termination or interruption of internet connection during audio download
Every midweek a new beat is chosen to be the “Weakly Beat”. The beat is later uploaded in the app for musicians to record their verses. To upload your verses, app user needs to download the beat and record their verses. Termination of the Internet was one of the major hurdles that restrain users to successfully download the beat. So, whenever internet connection is lost, instead of starting the download from the current state, the user needs to re-download the entire file which was quite time-consuming.
Solution:
- AllianceTek builds a video player & editing app that allows app users to download beat, record, and seamlessly upload the video.
- Our development team overcomes this scenario by integrating a download feature that allows users to download the app when the internet is active.
- The team managed to maintain the application’s active state that stores users’ current state information. So, if the user kills the app from the memory, the app will save the current state and whenever a download button is clicked, the download will resume from the last state.
- The app also downloads the data in the background even though the app is in a memory state.
- Our designers designed an intuitive and easy to use User Interface along with creating a robust solution to address the complexity of the app.
- Furthermore, Facebook API was integrated to let users log in and share the app with their friends, relatives, and more.
- This video editing app allows artist users to record their verses and upload them in the app. Users can even watch live video from the app.
- The app allows users to like, share, comment on the video curated by the artists. They can even upvote and downvote the video as per their preference.
Features
- The Weekly Beat app focuses on the hip hop & R&B artist and musicians to record and upload videos on their selected beat. The gamification feature in the app allows users to compete for their beat with other artists where the most voted verses will win the cash prize at the end of the week.
- The record feature of the app allows thousands of artists to record and upload the video
- The user can log in with Facebook credentials and can even share the app with other friends and acquaintances.
- They can even vote, comment, and watch uploaded videos in the real-time scenario.
