Remote-first UX with focus-driven navigation on Android TV
AnyPlayer — TV-first IPTV Experience
Lead Product Designer
4 Weeks
Figma, Photoshop
Owned the end-to-end product design: 
remote interaction model, information architecture, 
TV UI system, and a high-fidelity prototype.
My role
AnyPlayer is a TV-first IPTV player that turns M3U playlists into a structured streaming experience.
Built for D-pad navigation, 3-meter readability, and fast content access.
About
TV-first IPTV
Experience
Designed for the couch.
Built for the remote.
Designing for TV is not “mobile on a big screen”.
The constraints are different and unforgiving:
The Challenge
No Dead Ends
Predictable focus paths
and reliable “Back”
Fast to Content
Short paths to playback,
instant feedback
3-Meter Readability
Large type, strong contrast,
clear hierarchy
Remote-first Control
D-pad navigation
with consistent focus rules
The Solution
Scalable Information Architecture
Clear groupings and consistent paths from browse — details — playback
Living-room readability
Strict grid, strong contrast, reduced noise — designed for 3-meter scanning
Focus-State Architecture
Consistent rules for entry/exit, edges, and transitions — so remote navigation feels predictable
Architecture
I mapped a TV-appropriate structure that keeps key actions one step away and avoids hidden branches. The IA defines how users move between rails, listings, details pages, and playback — with consistent focus paths and predictable “Back” behavior.
