Problem Statement

Many anime streaming websites suffer from poor UI, inconsistent playback performance, or unreliable video hosting. Users often face buffering issues, lack of progress tracking, or minimal content interaction features. From a backend perspective, processing and serving large media files efficiently is also a common bottleneck.

Solution Approach

Anix-to addresses these challenges by providing a smooth, responsive UI built with React.js and Tailwind CSS, combined with adaptive HLS streaming for reliable video playback. A custom video player enhances the viewing experience with episode navigation and playback control. Behind the scenes, a messaging queue system works with FFmpeg to handle video processing asynchronously, ensuring scalability and responsiveness. Features like user authentication, watch history, and episode rating further improve user engagement.

Planned features include real-time chat integration, advanced content filtering, subtitles support, user playlists, and personalized recommendations using ML models. The vision is to create an engaging platform where anime fans can stream, interact, and share their experiences effortlessly.
