VIDEO STREAMING PLATFORM

2. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

2.1 INTRODUCTION
Video Streaming Platform is a web based application system. Video streaming and broadband
connections help users around the globe download and watch large video files from the comfort
of their homes. It has become a general system to watch movies online via internet. With the
growing popularity of internet and the fascinating services provided by it, more and more people
have started to download movies or watch them online. Taking advantage of this technology,
Video Streaming Platform helps the people to watch the latest Movies online for a cheap rate at
the comfort of your home. Video streaming websites open up a vast universe of video
entertainment that viewers can access any time, from any device they own and watch them at
their own pace. Unlike traditional TV, the programs are not scheduled. This liberty in choosing
what to watch is the secret to success of video streaming. Video streaming website is changing
the mode of establishing the piece of information to every device connected to networks
globally. So, the purpose of video streaming the content whether it's for the entertainment or
business purpose, determining the ideal platform that collides with your streaming ideas is more
important. Thus, a live streaming platform must possess all the functionalities, features, cloud
support, reliable content delivery networks, and content management systems and so on. Video
streaming solution holds all the essential & extendable functionalities, enriched features, a player
that is compatible to any format.
2.2 OBJECTIVES
Main Objectives of this project are
• To make available the latest movies to the members at a low rate.
• Members can choose movies of their choice from a large stock of movies.
• Search option is made available according to genre, country, state, Language etc.
• Members can view the movies at a very high video quality.
• Watch and Download movies legally.
• Provide a safe and user-friendly online video streaming site.
• To save large amount of storage space for the user.
• Members can watch the movies at the comfort of their homes.
• Reliable storage

3. PROJECT CATEGORY
This project can be categorized as RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) project.
RDBMS is the most important database systems in the software industry. An RDBMS is a type

IGNOU BCA PROJECT SYNOPSIS 2023 1

 VIDEO STREAMING PLATFORM

of DBMS with a row-based table structure that connects related data elements and includes
functions that maintain the security, accuracy, integrity and consistency of the data. The most
basic RDBMS functions are related to create, read, update and delete operations.

4. ANALYSIS
4.1 EXISTING SYSTEM
Existing System is a very tiring process. In this busy world, people does not have lot of time
to watch the movies, they want their favorite movies at a mouse click without any
inconvenience but the existing system doesn’t offer you that. Main disadvantages of existing
system are:

• Highly Time consuming.

• Not economically viable.
• Does not have a lot of choices of movies for the users to watch.
• Does not available at your convenient time.
• Consumes lot of storage space.
4.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM
After understanding the existing system and understanding the need for developing a new
system different people involved in the related activities have been consulted. The data
needed for the study has been collected from company records.
The computerization of this system would avoid the wrong interpretation and bad
calculation of data. The system helps the user to see any documents, source code, tasks,
activities, team information with details at the click of a button. The record data is
maintained and backed up such a way that data is not loss. The speed of the system could
also increase. Main Advantages of the existing system are:

• Movies avail at a very cheap rate according to the package rate taken.
• Easy to access and view the movies legally.
• User friendly platform.
• Members can pick the movies from a large collection of movies.
• Search option is available based on genre, language etc.
• Watch the movies at your convenient time.
• Does not consume at any storage space

4.3 DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS

Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is the most commonly used way of documenting the processing
of the required system. They are the pictorial way of showing the flow of data into, around
and out of the system.

5.5 TESTING PROCESS TO BE USED

5.5.1 TESTING TECHNIQUES
A test is vital to the success of the system. Testing is the process of executing a program with the
intent of finding any errors. A good test, of course has the high probability of finding a yet
undiscovered error. A successful testing is the one that uncovers a yet undiscovered error.
The various steps of testing the system can be listed as given below.
5.5.1.2 UNIT TESTING
Unit testing is the first step in the testing process, and is usually conducted by the programmer to
ensure that a program operates as defined by the user. The programmer generally creates their
own test cases, inputs the data to the program and verifies the results.

5.5.1.3 INTEGRATION TESTING

In integration testing the modules developed will be joined one by one and its working is verified
for errors and correctness. The data passing between modules and web pages are checked so that
information is send to the customer.

5.6 REPORT GENERATION

Reports generated in the project are:

• Payment Report
• Member Report
• Movie Package Report
• Watch List
