Ruby on Rails Developer

Hi there, nice to e-meet you :] Here's a bit of info about the project... This is a fairly well scoped set of features with many available best practices. The only major development work would involve integration with current app code and database systems. We anticipate a competent developer or team of developers should be able to complete the required tasks within 4 business days. Summary We recently launched an indie film, People in Motion and we're distributing it from our site which currently provides a paid video download service and needs to support a streaming video solution to supplement the current offerings. Media is currently hosted on Amazon S3 and access is gated by a Ruby-on-Rails app which generates rapidly expiring signed-urls (using the aws-sdk gem) for various media files that a user has access to. Ideally, streaming media will be delivered via Amazon CloudFront streaming support with access restricted using signed-urls. ***Requirements*** Well suited, secure content delivery for streaming media SHOULD use CloudFront or a comparably priced service to support streaming MUST provide account-level time-based access control to any specific media file SHOULD provide access control with the S3/CloudFront signed-url facility if available MUST be able to use non-public objects in Amazon S3 as source media MUST NOT require additional server infrastructure under our management. Refer to:[login to view URL] Free and open source media player that supports Flash and HTML5 Video MUST play media from the source specified in Requirement 1 MUST support cross-browser playback on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS devices MUST support HTML5 video when available MUST fall back to flash video when HTML5 video is not available SHOULD be an open source solution MUST NOT require a paid license for the player. Refer to:[login to view URL] Integration with current delivery system MUST display the streaming player on-site on our current download page MUST run inside our current Ruby-on-Rails application code MUST track the number of times a user has streamed a video in our internal database MUST be able to limit the number of time a user is able to stream a given video or set of videos SHOULD provide analytics to determine how much of a video a user watches MUST provide styling for the player consistent with the current site aesthetic ***Testing*** MUST provide unit and integration tests which cover any new code features to guard against regressions Timeline ***A few more details about the ideal candidate: *** Excellent english communication, both written and spoken Available 10am to 4pm Central time for phone / skype calls We have a good amount of development to do on our site & if this contract goes well we'd love to collaborate on more projects. Cheers! We look forward to potentially collaborating with you :]
