Shashti

Arabic video-on-demand across Smart TV and mobile, aggregating 5,000+ titles from YouTube and Dailymotion.

Shashti was built to give Arabic-speaking audiences a single place to watch across screens. The catalogue spanned movies, series, religious programming, comedy and music, sourced and normalised from YouTube and Dailymotion.

The first release carried more than 5,000 titles with a daily ingestion job adding new content, and a fully Arabic, right-to-left interface on both TV and mobile.
