Abstract
Accelerated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, streaming services are one of the most prominent methods for content consumption. The ease of accessibility and vast library of content on multiple services leaves viewers with a self-personalized viewing experience. This case study investigates the limitations and technical difficulties these services have, without the consideration of their price points. There are numerous different players and software used for the backend of these players, and it is noticeable which ones are the superior variants. Exploration of the backend issues will be studied by interviews with industry professionals who have hands-on experience with these players. Front end consumer issues will be conducted via surveys to approximate what traits of their used players/services are ideal, as well as irritations. With this case study, the answers and information gathered could potentially be utilized to entice the media industry to standardize a media player.
