Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.

Most Recent Questions

Why not let an algorithm decide the top of the home page?

Recommendations predict what a viewer will finish, but they cannot know what you have just acquired or are launching this week. Vodlix Editor Picks gives that decision to a person.

Content Management

Can I mix content types at the top of the home page?

Yes. Editor's Pick can combine films, series, episodes and live channels in one list, and the hero moves through them in the order you set.

Content Management, Live Streaming

Can home page sections fill automatically on Vodlix?

Yes. Populate List fills Editor's Pick from your categories and tags, and a dynamic content list fills a row the same way, so the page stays fresh without daily editing. You can still add, remove and reorder titles by hand at any time.

Content Management, Getting Started

Does home page content carry across devices?

Yes. Home page content set in the Vodlix CMS appears in the same positions on web, mobile and TV, so a launch leads everywhere at once with no separate curation per platform.

Monetization, Content Management

Does the home page differ between web, mobile and TV?

The sections are the same because all three read the same arrangement, though each platform lays them out to suit its own screen and input. That means one decision rather than three, and a promotion appearing everywhere at once rather than drifting.

OTT Apps, Content Management

Can I stop something appearing without deleting it?

Items can be removed from a section without touching the title itself, individually or in bulk. The content stays in your catalogue and remains searchable, it simply stops being promoted, which is what you usually want when a campaign ends.

Content Management

How many items should a hero section carry?

That is an editorial judgement rather than a technical limit, and the platform will hold as many as you add. Most services keep the top section short, because a hero that rotates through twenty titles is closer to a screensaver than a recommendation.

Content Management, General

Which OTT integrations does Vodlix support?

Vodlix supports Twilio and SMS4Free for SMS; Typesense, Elastic Search and Algolia for search; HubSpot, Vertex CRM, Odoo, First Promoter and MixPanel for CRM, affiliates and analytics; and Vodlix S3 Uploader, Google Drive and Dropbox for storage. Google Analytics 4 is added in the settings. Payment gateways and TMDB have their own pages.

Integrations & API

Are all integrations included in every Vodlix plan?

Not always. Some integrations come with certain plans, such as Vertex CRM and Dropbox, and a few are switched on by Vodlix on request. The Integrations screen in your admin shows what your platform offers, and our team can confirm a specific integration before you sign.

Integrations & API, General

How do I know if an integration is working?

Look at its card on the Integrations screen. Connected means it is switched on and its account details are saved and accepted. "On · needs setup" means it is switched on but not doing anything yet, so finish setting it up first.

Integrations & API

Does turning off an integration delete its settings?

No. Switching an integration off stops it but keeps its settings and data. Switch it back on and it picks up where it left off.

Integrations & API

Can I use Typesense and Elastic Search at the same time?

No. Use one search engine at a time, because two engines do not share the job well. With no search integration switched on, your storefront uses the built-in search.

Integrations & API

Can I connect a tool that Vodlix does not list?

Yes. Connect it through the Vodlix REST API, or ask Vodlix to build it as a custom plugin. Either way the tool works with your platform directly, with no manual exports.

Integrations & API

Is the Vodlix iOS app branded as my own?

Yes. The Vodlix iOS app is fully white label, with your logo, colours, name and catalogue throughout, and nothing on screen indicating that it was built on Vodlix.

OTT Apps

Do I need an iOS development team to launch on Vodlix?

No. Vodlix handles iOS development, App Store submission and ongoing updates as part of the service, so you launch and maintain a native iOS app without in house Apple developers.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

Is the Vodlix iOS app native?

Yes. The Vodlix iOS app is a native application built for iPhone and iPad, not a web view wrapped in a shell, so it delivers native performance, navigation and playback.

OTT Apps

Can I customise the iOS app's interface and features?

Yes. Branding, layout and features of the Vodlix iOS app are configured from the admin area to fit your brand, and changes are reflected in the app builds Vodlix produces.

OTT Apps

How does a native iOS app help my streaming business?

A Vodlix iOS app gives viewers direct access to your content from their home screen, supports notifications and in app purchases, and raises engagement and retention on the devices viewers use most.

OTT Apps

Can I engage with my audience through the Vodlix iOS app?

Absolutely! The Vodlix iOS app includes engagement features such as push notifications, user comments, and interactive content options, allowing you to stay connected with and engage your audience.
