Most Recent Questions
What is the benefit of cloud infrastructure over fixed capacity?
With Vodlix on elastic cloud infrastructure you do not pay for a peak you rarely use, and you do not fail when demand spikes. Capacity follows the audience rather than a forecast.
Content Management, Video Platform
Does the choice of cloud provider matter?
Less than operators usually expect. What determines reliability is whether transcoding recovers from failures without losing files, whether delivery has a fallback, and whether you can see what is happening. Those are platform properties.
Video Platform, General
How does this relate to the CDN?
They solve adjacent halves. Infrastructure is where things are stored and processed, the delivery network is how they reach a viewer quickly. A service can get one right and the other wrong and still feel slow.
Video Platform
What should I actually ask about infrastructure?
How it behaves when something fails, and what you can see when something is slow. Those questions distinguish platforms far better than which provider is named, and they are the ones that matter at three in the morning.
Getting Started, Video Platform
What does the Vodlix backend CMS do?
The Vodlix backend CMS manages your entire streaming platform: uploading and organising content, scheduling, categorisation, branding, monetisation, hosting and reporting, from one user friendly interface.
General, Sales & Marketing, Content Management

What billing information can subscribers see on Vodlix?
Vodlix subscribers can see their orders, subscription renewals, wallet balance, credits and invoices in their account area, so they can answer the question 'what was this charge?' themselves.
Monetization, General
Does Vodlix billing management reduce support volume?
Yes. Most billing enquiries are simply about identifying a charge. Because Vodlix makes orders and invoices visible to subscribers, those questions are answered without a ticket.
Monetization, Video Platform
Can subscribers download invoices on Vodlix?
Yes. Every paid Vodlix order produces an invoice that the subscriber can open and print from their account area, so your team is not sending receipts by hand.
Monetization
Does my team see the same billing records as the subscriber?
Yes. Vodlix shows staff the same billing records the subscriber sees, plus admin tools such as refunds and wallet top ups, so enquiries are answered immediately from one record.
Monetization
What does the Vodlix subscriber wallet show?
The subscriber sees their balance on My Wallet and can top it up there. On the subscriber's profile your team sees the balance and a ledger of every credit and debit against it, including top ups, purchases, refunds and credits you add yourself.
Monetization, OTT Apps
Can my finance system read this directly?
Partly. The Vodlix API reports an order's status, returns a viewer's own purchases and rentals and issues refunds. For finance, the Invoices screen exports what you have filtered and Reports gives revenue and new orders for any date range, all from the same paid orders.
Integrations & API, Monetization
How is this different from automated billing?
Automated billing is the money moving on schedule, the renewals and retries. This is the record of what happened and the ability to answer questions about it afterwards. One is the mechanism, the other is the evidence.
Monetization
What happens to billing history when an account closes?
Cancelling a membership does not erase anything: orders, invoices and wallet history stay on the account. Removing records is a separate, deliberate admin action, and a refund never deletes the order it refunds, so the history still answers a dispute or a query factually.
