Wowza Multistream Laravel Challenge

Hey thanks for taking on our programming challenge. Out of respect for your time, please work for 1-2 hours, but don't stress too hard. This is not a timed challenge, feel free to spend as little or as much time as you desire. I don’t expect you to finish this challenge (unless you really want to); it’s more to get a sense of your approach to programming. The people who get hired tend to show their best and most elegant work rather than their quickest or most feature-complete work.

Objective

Write a Laravel SPA dashboard with authentication that shows multiple live video feeds. It gets the feeds through an API wrapper which communicates with a custom Wowza API (already finished).

Instructions

• Fork and clone this repo. It contains a complete Laravel setup
• Write your solution
• Send a pull request to me along with your name when you're done or when it's been 2 hours

Must-have Features/Implementation

• Use VueJS for the frontend - no page refreshes/reloads/server-side rendering
• Use JWPlayer for RTMP playback - Skype @benallfree for the license key if needed
• Write a Laravel API /api/v1/info that uses Guzzle to make the underlying Wowza API request
• Only authenticated users can access the dashboard and API
• Only live output stream should have sound

Bonus points (in order of WOW factor)

• Use of composer packages
• Use of npm, webpack, and es6 in the build process
• On the dashboard page, make a 'refresh' button that re-queries the API
• Bringing focus to a video stream activates its sound and mutes all others
• Allow selection of input stream to call /api/live/switch?n=X where X is the array index of streams[]
• Make a publicly-viewable page that shows only the output stream
