Rhythm streams full concert and festival sets with timestamped setlists, so you can skip straight to the song you came for. Behind it sits a GPU transcoding pipeline, HLS delivery, and a recommendation engine.

The MVP
A custom player, watch history and continue watching, AirPlay, a quality selector, and the first landing page.
2023
Setlists, playlists, favorites
A setlist API and an admin tracklist editor put every song on the timeline. Playlists across artists, favorites, and a search overhaul followed, with a KV cache in front of the dashboard.

Recommendations and community
A recommendation engine built on tag and genre similarity plus co-watch popularity, then comments, reactions, and related artists.
Impact
- A video pipeline that handles footage end to end, from GPU transcode to signed delivery.
