Frequently Asked Questions

At upload. The video, the descriptions, the categories and cast, the SEO fields and the artwork are all tabs of the same editor, so a title is described before it goes live. Details can also be pulled from The Movie Database or drafted with Vodlix Intel.

Vodlix search reads your metadata directly, so a title is only findable by the words it carries. A film with no tags and a one line synopsis will not be found by anyone who does not already know its name.

Yes, because the values that matter most are shared records rather than free text. Categories, cast and content lists are each defined once in their own manager and chosen on every title, so the same genre or actor cannot exist under five spellings.

Viewers meet your catalogue through search, genre rows and More Like This lists, and all three are built from metadata. Precise categories, cast and tags put the right title in front of someone in one step instead of several.

Yes. A title has a Translations tab for its name and synopsis per installed language, categories and artists can be translated from their own managers, and artwork can be set per language too, so a viewer browsing in German reads German metadata.

Use the Data Importer in the admin panel. It has separate imports for user accounts, products and product plans, subscriptions, videos from a CSV file and content from a Roku URL, and it links the records together as each import finishes. Videos can also be fetched one by one from a direct link.

Yes, through integrations. The Google Drive integration lets you pick videos from Drive and add them to your library, and the Dropbox integration stores and retrieves files through Dropbox; Dropbox depends on your plan. Any video on a direct public HTTPS link can also be imported from the Add Media tab.

You can change colours, card shapes, header and footer and the overall template. The interaction patterns are deliberately not exposed in the same way, because they are responses to the input rather than matters of taste.

Because a poster is a much faster decision than a title, and viewers give each item about a second. Large artwork is not a stylistic choice, it is a response to how quickly people actually scan a catalogue.

The Vodlix content manager holds movies, TV series, trailers and live channels as tabs in one place, so your team manages every content type with the same search, filters and actions.

Vodlix movies management includes search and filters by status, category, date and content type, built for large catalogues, so a single title is found in seconds without scrolling.

Yes. Each title's state, such as published, unpublished or still processing, is visible directly in the Vodlix content list, so reviewing the catalogue is fast and gaps are spotted at a glance.

Yes. Vodlix bulk actions let you publish, unpublish, feature, unfeature or trash dozens of titles in a single step, so the library stays workable at the size it will actually reach. Details such as category, artwork and monetization are set on the title itself.

Yes. Vodlix movies management is built to remain workable at thousands of titles, with search, filters, status indicators and bulk actions that let a small team run a large library.

No. Removed titles move to a trash view and can be restored, so a mistake during a bulk action is recoverable rather than final.

A single grid with a search box only serves viewers who already know what they want. It abandons viewers browsing by mood and those arriving from an advert, which is why Vodlix offers spotlight, categories and a full listing.

The Vodlix Spotlight places the titles you are promoting at the top of the listing on web, mobile and TV, so a viewer who arrived from an advert sees that title immediately rather than alphabetised among thousands.

Vodlix categories let viewers browse by genre, theme or collection, so someone who wants something funny opens a comedy category rather than typing a search, and a mood finds its match.

Yes. Vodlix lets you set default sort orders and available filters for the full listing, so the catalogue is presented the way viewers actually think about it.

Yes, from the admin side, where the catalogue can be filtered by conversion status as well as by publish state, monetization model and type. That is how you catch a title that failed to encode before a viewer finds it rather than after.
