Frequently Asked Questions

Sixteen: Full OTT Platform, VOD Only, Podcast, Educational, Training & Guides, Sports, News, Church & Faith, Music, Corporate / Internal, Fitness & Wellness, Kids & Family, Travel & Lifestyle, Cooking & Food, Gaming and Custom. With Custom, you write every label yourself.

Yes. You can rename any of the nine labels, in singular and plural. The other labels stay as the template set them.

It can. Full OTT Platform, Sports and News keep Live TV and the programme guide on; the other templates turn them off. If you want live channels with another template, apply the template first and then switch Live TV back on.

No. Templates change what your screens say, not the web addresses behind them. Links, bookmarks and search listings keep working after you switch template or rename a label.

Yes. Vodlix has a Podcasts & Talk platform type and a Podcast terminology template. Each show gets a page with seasons and episodes, hosts are credited as Hosts, and the network runs on your own website, mobile apps and TV apps under your brand.

Yes. The Podcast terminology template renames the content types in the admin panel and on the storefront, so viewers browse Episodes and Podcasts instead of Movies and TV Shows. You can change any single label if your network prefers another word.

Vodlix supports ads (AVOD), subscriptions (SVOD), pay-per-view or rental (TVOD) and a mix of these. You set a default for the platform and can change the model for any show or episode later in the editor.

Yes. During setup you can load the Podcasts & Talk Shows demo catalog, which fills the platform with sample categories, rows, videos and series. You can remove all the sample content in one step from the settings when you are ready to launch.

Vodlix publishes the same catalogue to your branded website, iOS and Android apps and TV apps, so every show and episode is available on the screens your audience uses.

Vodlix supports both portrait and landscape thumbnails on every title, and uses each format automatically where it fits your layout on web, mobile and TV.

Portrait posters suit phones and vertical grids, while landscape cards suit televisions and horizontal rows. Storing both on Vodlix means every surface shows artwork in the shape that works best.

Yes. Consistent aspect ratios per surface keep rows aligned and grids even, so the Vodlix catalogue reads as one cohesive service rather than a patchwork of mismatched art.

Yes. Vodlix lets featured card shapes differ from default shapes, so eye catching portrait or hero artwork can highlight key films and series in prominent placements.

Yes. A strong thumbnail is the first thing a viewer sees and the main reason they click. Artwork that fits its placement on Vodlix captures attention where stretched or cropped images lose it.

Pay per view (PPV) and transactional video on demand (TVOD) let a viewer buy a single title on Vodlix without a subscription, either as a timed rental or as a permanent purchase.

No. Vodlix PPV and TVOD let viewers purchase one film, event or series without joining a plan, using the same checkout and payment gateways as the rest of your platform.

Yes, title by title. Rental Hours on each title decides: a number of hours makes it a timed rental and 0 makes it a permanent purchase, so one catalogue can mix rentals and purchases, each at its own price.

No. Vodlix transactional sales use your existing catalogue, player and payment gateways, so adding pay per view or rentals is a configuration choice rather than a development project.

Yes. A Vodlix subscriber can purchase a premium title outside their plan, such as a live event or early release, adding transactional revenue on top of the subscription.

Entitlement is checked when a stream is requested rather than being held by the app, and TVOD playback has its own cap on how many screens can play purchased titles at once. That is the same mechanism that protects subscription content, applied to a single purchase.
