Vodlix Introduces Advanced Real-Time Stream Monitoring for OTT

Live streaming and OTT platforms are growing faster than ever. Viewers today expect smooth playback, clear video quality, and zero buffering, especially during live events. Even a few seconds of downtime can lead to user drop-offs, negative reviews, and revenue loss.

To solve this major challenge, Vodlix has introduced its Advanced Real-Time Stream Monitoring Tool, designed to help content creators, broadcasters, and OTT businesses monitor their streams live, detect issues early, and deliver a reliable viewing experience on every screen.

This tool provides full, real-time visibility into stream health, performance, and playback experience.

Streaming audiences are less forgiving than ever. With hundreds of platforms available, viewers can switch in seconds if something goes wrong.

This shows why real-time monitoring is no longer optional. It is a must-have feature for any serious OTT or live streaming platform.

Vodlix’s new monitoring tool allows platform owners to track live streams as they happen. Instead of waiting for users to complain, you can see problems instantly and take action before viewers are affected.

It works across:

• Live streaming

• Video on Demand (VOD)

• FAST channels

• Sports and event streams

• 24/7 linear OTT channels

All insights are available from a single, easy-to-use Vodlix-powered dashboard.

1. Live Stream Health Tracking

Vodlix continuously checks the health of your stream while it is live. This includes bitrate stability, frame drops, latency, and playback errors.

If anything goes wrong, the system highlights issues instantly so teams can take action and avoid prolonged outages.

Benefit:
You fix issues before viewers notice them.

2. Buffering and Latency Detection

Buffering is one of the biggest reasons users leave a stream. Vodlix tracks buffering ratio and latency in real time so you know exactly when and where issues occur.

You can see:

• Average buffering time

• Peak buffering moments

• Delay between live action and viewer playback

Benefit:
Smoother viewing experiences and longer watch times.

3. Viewer Experience (QoE) Insights

Vodlix goes beyond raw technical metrics to focus on Quality of Experience (QoE). This shows how real users are experiencing your content.

You can track:
• Playback success rate
• Stream stability and playback failures
• Session start and playback errors
• Real-time stream performance impacting viewer experience

Benefit:
You improve retention and engagement, not just uptime.

1. Growth of Live Streaming

The global live streaming market is expected to cross $330 billion by 2027. With more live events, the cost of failure is higher than ever.

2. Rise of CTV and FAST Platforms

FAST platforms are growing at over 20% CAGR, and most operate on live or linear streaming models. Monitoring tools are critical to keep channels running without interruption.

3. Viewer Expectations Are Rising

HD and 4K streaming is now standard. Poor quality leads directly to churn.

Many platforms offer basic analytics after a stream ends. Vodlix goes further by offering live, actionable insights.
