General

What is the main difference between Vodlix and Uscreen?

The pricing model. Uscreen combines a monthly fee with per-subscriber fees and paid app add-ons, so costs rise as you grow. Vodlix charges one flat monthly price that includes web, mobile, and TV apps, with no per-subscriber fees and no revenue share.

General

Is Vodlix cheaper than Uscreen?

It depends on your size. Uscreen Growth costs $149/mo plus $1.99 per subscriber, so its bill grows with your audience, while Vodlix Professional is a flat $1,550/mo with iOS and Android apps included and no per-subscriber fees. At smaller audiences Uscreen is cheaper — at 200 subscribers it is about $547/mo. The two cross over at roughly 700 subscribers; beyond that Vodlix's flat price wins, and the gap widens as you grow because Vodlix never charges per subscriber.

General

What is an OTT platform for broadcasters?

An OTT platform for broadcasters is a streaming service that carries a TV channel over the internet instead of, or as well as, aerial, cable, or satellite. With Vodlix, a broadcaster runs its live channels, a programme guide, catch-up, and an on-demand library on its own website and in branded mobile and TV apps, and sells access directly to viewers.

Live Streaming

Can I stream my existing TV channel 24/7?

Yes. A live channel on Vodlix plays from the stream you already produce: an HLS URL, an RTMP push received through the Flussonic integration, or a UDP/MPEG-TS source. The channel runs continuously, gets a channel number, and sits in your catalogue next to your on-demand titles.

Live Streaming

Does Vodlix include an electronic programme guide (EPG)?

Yes. Add an XMLTV feed for the whole platform or for each channel, match each channel to its ID in the feed, and Vodlix shows now, next, and the week ahead on the web and, with a switch each, in the mobile and TV apps. See EPG.

Live Streaming

Can viewers pause live TV or watch programmes they missed?

Yes. Time shift lets viewers pause, rewind, or restart the current programme and then return to live, and nDVR catch-up lets them play programmes that already aired from the guide. You set the window for each channel, and your stream origin needs to support DVR and catch-up playback.
