Description

This issue is designed to be a simple starting point for anyone with some basic skills in app development, and an interest in getting involved in the Livepeer project.

# Context

Livepeer is an Ethereum-blockchain-based project to create a decentralised platform for livestreaming video.

For more details about the project, go to [Livepeer's homepage](http://livepeer.org).

livepeer.tv is a project to be the first TV network to broadcast on Livepeer. You can watch livepeer.tv by visiting www.livepeer.tv, which will redirect to `https://media.livepeer.org/channels/0x0ddb225031ccb58ff42866f82d907f7766899014`

This issue is to create a simple "viewer" app for the single channel - livepeer.tv which flows like this:

1. User downloads and installs app
2. User launches app from launcher icon (see below for assets)
3. App show splash screen to user (see below for assets)
4. Show content being shown at www.livepeer.tv
5. Close app

# Specific Details

A. Content is livestreaming at https://media.livepeer.org/embed/0x0ddb225031ccb58ff42866f82d907f7766899014, which can act as a test feed to build against.

B. An iframe embed is available via the following code:

```

```

C. The app should be able to determine the screen size of the viewer's device, and adjust the width and height accordingly.

D. The unique identifier for this particular channel is `0x0ddb225031ccb58ff42866f82d907f7766899014`. It is our intention to allow curators of other channels to release the same app (with different branding)

E. This app should be able to run on Android 4.0 and above, to make it accessible to as many people as possible.

# Deliverables:

- apk file for testing, and for livepeee.tv to submit to Google Play Store.

- source code committed to the livepeer/tv repository

- instructions for how to re-configure the source code for a different channel, specifically regarding a) the unique identifier address `0x0ddb225031ccb58ff42866f82d907f7766899014`, b) the splash page, c) the launcher icon.

# Assets

Research direction

Start by inspecting the livepeer/tv repository and the supplied Livepeer embed URL, then determine the Android app entry point and how to support Android 4.0 and newer devices. Done means a testable APK displays the single channel with the supplied branding, source code is committed, and instructions explain changing the channel identifier, splash screen, and launcher icon.
