There are plenty of features that we would love to implement into MoviePlug. One of the MoviePlug standby mission is inclusivity, Making the platform accessible to everybody at anytime and anywhere. MoviePlug in future wil be adding subtitle opions, audio tracks, downloading features to the web app, where anyone can download movies easily. Making art and story telling accessible to all. In other to achieve this, It is recommended to use specialized APIs, equipped servers, frameworks and libraries to ensure a robust and secure implementation and experience.
