Hi,
I'm new to freelancer (hence the low bid). I was a developer for http://www.vyclone.com. A free iOS, Android & windows app (download the iPhone & Android and have a look). I worked extensively on the Vyclone iPhone & Android apps, in particular the video upload flow.
I've got good experience regarding multipart uploads to Amazon S3, and upload recovery when on a mobile network (connections regularly drop when on 3G/4G). I can also write the server side component to receive the upload, should you not wish to embed security keys of your file hosting service in the application.
Assuming I understand what you require, the overall app is relatively straightforward:
- Scan a QR code, and interpret to an upload URL. (Who generates this QR code?)
- Allow user to select a video from their camera roll.
- Upload the video to URL.
I'd aim to have a MVP ready in a few days, that would allow camera roll selection and upload. We'll need to discuss the QR code piece in more detail (hence the large delivery date). Once I've understood your requirements, I'd provide a revised delivery.
Questions:
- Where are you aiming to host the uploaded videos (S3 or similar, or an existing video service)?
- Are you aiming to run your own server to receive the uploads prior to forwarding them to said service, for example to read meta data, user information etc.
- Do you require a user to login prior to uploading video.
- Do you require the user to view uploaded video?
