Most Recent Questions
Can the interface and the catalogue use different languages?

General
Does Vodlix support right-to-left languages?
Yes. Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu display right to left on all devices, including TV and mobile apps.
General
Can one title have several audio languages?
Yes. A title can hold its original audio plus dubs as alternate tracks. Viewers switch under Settings > Audio track without restarting, and choose subtitles separately.
General
Can I restrict titles to certain countries?
Yes. Geo-fencing allows or blocks countries per title, per package or for the whole platform, enforced at the stream before playback.
General
Can I run live TV channels with a programme guide?
Yes. Add channels with an HLS stream and an XMLTV feed for the guide, with catch-up and time shift where enabled. Live TV is available on Apps+ plans.
General
Can I release a new episode at an exact time?
Yes. Set a release date and time and the title goes live at that minute on web, mobile and TV together. Moving the date means editing one field.
General
Can I premiere in some countries before others?
Yes. Release scheduling works together with country restrictions, so you can open a title in each territory when its rights begin.
General
Can viewers watch trailers without an account?
Yes. Trailers are free to watch, with no paywall or ads, and signed-out visitors can play them.
General
Can viewers pre-order a premiere?
Yes, for pay-per-title releases. On release day the title appears in the buyer's library on every device, and you can see how many viewers pre-ordered and when.

With multi-DRM (Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady), no fallback to unprotected playback, blocked direct file access, allowed and blocked domain lists, and signed URLs.
