Mobile-Friendly Video Streaming Platform

Streaming Server & Video Platform Development

(Fully Mobile-Friendly & Responsive)

Project Overview

We are looking for an experienced developer or team to build a modern, secure, and fully mobile-friendly video streaming platform with an admin panel, iframe embeddable video player, and TMDB integration.

All components (admin panel, video player, iframe embeds, and public pages) MUST be 100% mobile-responsive and optimized for smartphones and tablets.

The system must be server-independent, easily portable between VPS providers, and production-ready.
