Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Vodlix nDVR recording is enabled per channel, so you turn it on only for channels where you hold the rights to store and replay content, keeping your service compliant.

If recording is not enabled for a channel, the Vodlix programme guide simply does not offer those programmes for catch up playback, so viewers are never shown an option that cannot work.

When adding a live channel in the Vodlix CMS, enter a recording source URL alongside the channel's stream URL and EPG feed. Once saved, the channel gains a past that viewers can browse and play.

No. That is the point of recording in the network rather than on a device. There is no hardware to ship or support, no local storage to fill, and a viewer who switches from a television to a phone keeps everything.

Yes. Catch up is treated like the rest of your content, so subscription entitlements and advertising apply to a recorded programme the same way they apply to the live broadcast.

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.

Yes. Ads for live TV is one switch, the targeting macros are added to live streams too, and Publica has its own live network and stream IDs. On live channels, ad breaks follow the cue markers already in the stream.

Vodlix time shift lets viewers pause a live channel, move backwards from the live edge to catch a missed start and then return to live at any time, all within the same player.

Viewers have paused everything for twenty years. A live channel without pause and rewind feels broken rather than live, and time shift is the clearest sign that a linear service is modern.

Yes. A Vodlix viewer who has rewound or paused can return to the live edge with a single control whenever they choose, so they never lose the shared live experience.
