Kodi/Python Android TV System Development

Kodi/Python Specialized Android TV Build with Failover, Dedupe & APK Packaging. The custom branded Kodi skin (dark mode + neon accents + full NeonFox branding) is to be completed Sunday. Your first task will be to check and optimize the delivered skin for performance, then build the full functional system. Main Responsibilities: 1. Skin Verification & Optimization • Thoroughly test the received skin for smoothness and lightweight performance • Check RAM usage, navigation speed, EPG loading, and overall snappiness on low-end Android TV hardware • Fix any lag or performance issues introduced by the skin (to perform optimally on SK1 & SK4 boxes) 2. Auto-Boot & Launcher • Implement full auto-boot so Kodi launches immediately on power-up (bypass Android menus) • Set Kodi as default Home launcher or create simple custom launcher APK • Remap remote “Home” button to Kodi main menu • Add basic kiosk mode 3. IPTV Sources & Deduplication • Integrate both IPTV providers (Sphere + Greatest IPTV) • Implement clean channel deduplication / merging logic • Create smooth Live TV section 4. Real-Debrid Integration • Set up Real-Debrid as primary VOD engine • Integrate ResolveURL + scraper with proper priority and fallback 5. APK Packaging • Package the entire build (skin + addons + settings + launcher) into a clean, user-friendly sideloadable .apk • Provide clear installation instructions Testing Requirements: • Must test on real Android TV hardware or a high-quality emulator that closely mimics S905X4/SK4/SK1 performance • Final delivery must include performance report (smoothness, RAM usage, EPG speed, etc.) QUALIFYING QUESTIONS (failure to answer these honestly & adequately will be disqualifying): 1. Kodi Experience
How many custom Kodi builds/addons have you actually delivered for Android TV boxes (especially Amlogic devices like S905X series)? 2. Core Technical Skills
Have you built deduplication logic when merging multiple large IPTV M3U playlists before?
(If yes, briefly describe your approach.) 3. Failover / Redundancy
Have you implemented auto-switch/failover between multiple IPTV sources (e.g. if Source A fails or times out, switch to B or C)?
How do you handle it without noticeable lag or crashes? 4. Real-Debrid
How do you typically integrate Real-Debrid as the primary VOD source with fallback to IPTV sources? 5. Android TV Specific
Have you built auto-boot + default launcher / kiosk mode for Android TV boxes before?
What method do you use (custom launcher APK, Device Owner, etc.)? 6. Testing & Hardware
Do you have access to real Android TV hardware (Amlogic-based preferred) for testing?
How will you test performance on low-RAM devices like S905X4/SK4? 7. APK Delivery
Will you deliver a final sideloadable .apk with everything pre-configured (skin + addons + settings)? Updated requirements: I will only provide the finished skin .zip. You will test all core logic (deduplication, failover, Real-Debrid priority, launcher) using your own dummy M3U playlists (including some broken links) to SK4 standards. No real source links or Real-Debrid credentials will be shared at any point. Upon delivery I will test the build myself on my own SK4 box. This removes the need for extensive testing on your end and limits the work to simple core logic validation with dummies. Could you tell me exact fixed price and realistic delivery timeline again through updated requirements?
