*Android & iOS Developer Needed for Customized YouTube Live & Video link Playback Solution*

I am looking for a skilled developer who can provide a solution for playing YouTube live & videos within both Android and iOS apps. The solution should allow YouTube links to be played with fully custom controls, without showing any YouTube branding, such as logos, playlists, or other UI elements.

*Project Requirements:*

We have two possible approaches for this project:

### Option 1: Custom VLC Player with YouTube Plugin
- *VLC Integration:* Develop a custom VLC player using Java (for Android) and Swift/Objective-C (for iOS) that can handle YouTube links. This solution should leverage a YouTube plugin to seamlessly play youtube live & videos directly within the VLC player.
- *Custom Controls:* Implement fully customized controls and buttons that align with the app's design. The controls should include options like play/pause, skip, volume control, etc., while ensuring that no YouTube branding or UI elements are visible.
- *Advanced Features:* Include settings for video quality, playback speed, and other advanced video options to enhance the user experience.

### Option 2: Customized YouTube Player or Iframe
- *YouTube API/Iframe Customization:* Utilize the YouTube API or an iframe to embed YouTube live & videos, but customize it extensively so that no YouTube branding (logo, playlist, etc.) is visible within the player.
- *Custom UI:* Design and implement a custom user interface that completely overlays any default YouTube controls, providing a seamless viewing experience without any YouTube-specific elements.
- *Cross-Platform Consistency:* Ensure that the customizations work consistently across both Android and iOS platforms.

*Candidate Requirements:*
- *Experience:* Proven experience in Android and iOS app development with a strong understanding of media player integration and customization.
- *VLC & YouTube API:* Experience working with VLC plugins, YouTube API, and customizing video players to remove default branding.
- *UI/UX Skills:* Ability to create and implement a custom UI/UX that enhances the user experience while aligning with the app's overall design.
- *Cross-Platform Development:* Understanding of the nuances between Android and iOS platforms to ensure a consistent experience on both.

*No User Authentication Required:* This project does not involve any user authentication. The focus is solely on creating a seamless, branded video playback experience within the app.

If you have the skills and experience to deliver a high-quality, customized video playback solution for YouTube content on both Android and iOS, please apply with your portfolio and relevant experience.
