Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.

Video Platform

Does Vodlix only email viewers who opted in?

Yes, when you switch on Enforce marketing opt-in. Mass marketing emails then go only to viewers who explicitly opted in, whatever audience a campaign selects. With it off, marketing email goes to everyone in the chosen audience. Account, billing and security emails are always delivered.

Video Platform

How do I set up the EPG on Vodlix?

Paste your EPG feed URL next to the stream and DVR URLs when adding a live channel in the Vodlix CMS. Vodlix reads the XMLTV data and keeps the guide updated automatically.

Live Streaming, Video Platform

Is the Vodlix EPG usable with a TV remote?

Yes. The Vodlix programme guide is laid out for a directional pad, with a day strip, programme list, channel column and live preview that all respond to the remote without a cursor.

Live Streaming, Video Platform

Who is the Vodlix FTP uploader for?

The Vodlix FTP uploader is for distributors, post production teams and content operators delivering large launch libraries or back catalogues, using a delivery method they already know.

Content Management, Video Platform

What formats can be delivered?

The same range the platform accepts elsewhere, since everything joins one pipeline after ingest. In practice the constraint is what a distributor can produce rather than what the platform will take.

Content Management, Video Platform

Do I end up with two sets of subscribers?

No. However the payment was taken, the platform holds one view of who is entitled to what, so support and reporting are not split by route even though the money arrived through different providers.

Monetization, Video Platform

What does Vodlix geo fencing control?

Vodlix geo fencing controls where each title, package or the whole platform can be streamed, by allowing or blocking specific countries based on the viewer's location at playback.

Video Platform, Security & DRM

How does geo fencing help with content licensing?

Geo fencing enforces your licensing agreements by blocking playback in territories where you do not hold the rights, so your distribution stays aligned with studio and distributor contracts.

Video Platform, Security & DRM

Is geo fencing complex to manage on Vodlix?

No. Geo fencing in Vodlix is an allow or block list configured in the admin area in minutes. There is no technical setup, no third party service and no code required.

Video Platform

What kind of content benefits most from geo fencing?

Films, sports rights, live events, exclusive releases and market specific libraries benefit most, because these are the assets where regional rights are most often restricted or sold separately.

Video Platform, Security & DRM

Can I release different content in different countries with Vodlix?

Yes. Vodlix lets you publish selected titles per market based on demand, launch plans or licensing, so each regional audience sees the catalogue you intend for them.

Video Platform, Security & DRM

Can vouchers be used as a payment method on Vodlix?

Yes. Vodlix vouchers work as a full payment method. Viewers redeem a voucher code to unlock a subscription plan or a title, or to add wallet credit that pays for content, with no payment gateway involved in the transaction.

Video Platform

Can viewers subscribe with a voucher on Vodlix?

Yes. Vodlix vouchers can be redeemed for platform subscriptions as well as individual content, so gift recipients and prepaid customers can start a subscription without entering card details.

Video Platform

Can I set usage rules on Vodlix vouchers?

Yes. Each Vodlix gift card sets the terms for its vouchers: the type, the credit or the plan or titles it unlocks, a usage limit and the dates it is valid, and every redemption is recorded with the account, order and date.

Video Platform

Is there a limit on how many vouchers I can create?

No. Vodlix lets you generate as many vouchers as you need for campaigns, partners, retail programmes or gifting, without additional requirements or manual tracking.

Video Platform

Do viewers need a card to redeem a voucher?

No. A Vodlix voucher is redeemed without card details or a payment gateway, which suits gifting, prepaid retail cards and markets where card payments are less common.

Video Platform

How many vouchers can I create?

There is no limit to the number of vouchers you can create, allowing you to offer a wide range of options for your customers.

Video Platform

How do vouchers enhance the customer experience?

Vouchers provide a personalized touch and flexibility, allowing customers to redeem them for a plan, wallet credit or a title and making them feel valued and appreciated.

Video Platform

What do HLS and MPEG DASH do on Vodlix?

HLS is the adaptive streaming format Vodlix delivers video in by default, and the Vodlix player also plays MPEG DASH. Both adjust quality in real time to each viewer's network and device, keeping playback smooth.

Video Platform

How does adaptive streaming help my viewers?

Adaptive streaming on Vodlix reduces buffering and drop offs by serving the best quality a connection can sustain, which keeps viewers engaged across live and on demand content.
