Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.
OTT Apps
Does watch progress carry across devices on Apple TV?
Yes. Viewing progress is held on the Vodlix account, so an episode started on an iPhone at lunch continues on the Apple TV in the evening at the same point.
OTT Apps, Video Platform
Can we run the Apple TV app alongside our other TV apps?
Yes. The Vodlix Apple TV app shares one backend, catalogue, accounts and content lists with your Android TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS apps.
OTT Apps, Video Platform
Do subscriptions and entitlements work on Apple TV?
Yes. The television checks the same subscriber accounts as everything else, so whatever a viewer is entitled to on the web they are entitled to in the living room, with no second configuration.
Monetization, OTT Apps
Can we ship Apple TV alongside our other TV apps?
That is the usual approach. Apple TV, Android TV, Roku and Samsung Tizen all read one catalogue and one subscriber base, so each platform you add is extra reach rather than extra maintenance.
OTT Apps, Content Management
Do plan changes work in the mobile apps?
Purchases made inside the iOS and Android apps run through the stores own billing, which has its own rules about changing plans. The platform holds one view of what a subscriber is on regardless of where the change originated.
OTT Apps, Monetization
Can viewers sign in with a code instead of a password?
Yes. One time code login can be switched on alongside email and password, or made the only route in, and the code can be sent by email as well. In markets where phone numbers are the default identifier this usually converts better than asking people to invent and then remember another password.
Video Platform, OTT Apps
Does an embed use my player?
No, it uses theirs. The controls, branding and quality behaviour differ, viewer settings do not carry over, and continue watching records nothing because the position never reaches your platform.
Video Platform, OTT Apps
What does a viewer see on a partly watched title?
On a partly watched title, Vodlix shows a Resume button with a progress indicator and the time remaining, with a Play from beginning option directly beneath it for viewers who want to restart.
OTT Apps, Video Platform
Why does watch history matter for a streaming service?
Most viewers do not finish a title in one sitting, and the return visit decides whether it gets completed. Effortless resume keeps viewers coming back, which directly reduces churn for OTT operators.
Video Platform, OTT Apps
Is the Vodlix white label OTT platform branded as mine?
Yes. A Vodlix white label OTT platform carries your logo, colours, domain and catalogue across the website, mobile apps and TV apps, with nothing indicating that it was built on Vodlix.
OTT Apps, Video Platform
What playback quality can I offer on a Vodlix platform?
You choose which resolutions your service encodes, from 240p up to 2160p (4K), and whether each plan streams in HD or Ultra HD, while adaptive streaming keeps playback smooth across devices and connections.
OTT Apps
What kind of apps can I launch with Vodlix?
Vodlix supports web, mobile (iOS & Android), Smart TVs (Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, Samsung, LG), and gaming consoles.
OTT Apps
Can I migrate just my apps while keeping my existing CMS?
Absolutely. Vodlix supports partial migration, enabling you to keep your CMS and only move mobile or TV apps.
