Project Description We need a cloud-based reporter live streaming and footage upload platform. The system must allow reporters to go live from smartphones and interact with studio anchors, and also upload news footage 24×7. Studio receives reporter feeds in vMix or OBS Studio. The system must support 50 reporters and 5 video editors. Deployment timeline is 7 days. --- Core Requirements 1. Low-Latency Live Reporter Streaming • Smartphone streaming via WebRTC or SRT • Support 20 concurrent live reporters • Target latency < 2 seconds • Output feed compatible with vMix / OBS (RTMP or SRT ingest) Preferred media servers: • OvenMediaEngine • Ant Media Server --- 2. Reporter Portal (Mobile Friendly) Reporters login via web interface and can: • start live stream (GO LIVE) • upload recorded video clips • send breaking news alerts Must work smoothly on Android smartphones. --- 3. Footage Upload System Reporters upload video clips anytime. System must automatically store metadata: • reporter ID • upload timestamp • filename. Editors should be able to preview and download clips. Expected load: 100 plus video uploads per day. --- 4. Newsroom Dashboard Admin dashboard showing: • reporter list • live reporter status • uploaded clips • reporter activity. Example view: --- Infrastructure Deployment on cloud infrastructure such as: • Hetzner • DigitalOcean Developer should handle: • streaming server deployment • backend APIs • cloud storage integration. --- Preferred Tech Stack • WebRTC / SRT / RTMP streaming • Node.js or Python backend • React or similar frontend • media server configuration. --- System Capacity The platform must support: • 50 registered reporters • 5 video editors • 20 simultaneous live streams • 100 plus video uploads per day --- Timeline Maximum 7 days for working deployment. Developers with previous experience building live streaming platforms will be preferred. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please answer the following when applying: 1.
