Frequently Asked Questions

HLS plays on iOS, Android, web browsers, smart TVs and connected devices, which is why it is the Vodlix default. MPEG DASH covers Android, web and most connected TVs, but not iOS.

Yes. On demand titles and live channels both stream as adaptive HLS, and a title or channel can also point at an HLS stream you already run elsewhere.

Yes. Vodlix adaptive streaming uses bandwidth efficiently by serving each viewer only the rendition their connection can handle, which keeps delivery costs proportionate while protecting quality.

The quality, yes: on Auto the player picks the rendition from the viewer’s connection, with no manual setup. The format is a platform setting, with HLS as the default because it plays everywhere, including iOS. With DRM on, the player also picks the licence system itself: FairPlay on Apple devices, Widevine elsewhere.

Yes. Both protocols support live streaming as well as video-on-demand, making them ideal for events, channels, and scheduled broadcasts.

Both protocols support encrypted delivery. On plans that include DRM, you add your PlayReady, Widevine and FairPlay licence servers under Video & Playback settings to protect premium and monetized content.

Yes. Vodlix encodes each title into the resolutions you enable, from 240p to 2160p, and the player switches between them for the best viewing any connection allows.

Absolutely. HLS and MPEG-DASH are designed to perform reliably even on slower or unstable networks by automatically lowering video quality when needed.

Editor Picks is the part of the Vodlix home page where a person chooses what fills the most valuable space at the top, such as a new release or a title you are promoting.

No. The Vodlix IPTV platform runs entirely in the cloud and delivers channels through your own mobile, web and TV apps, so there are no set top boxes or servers to buy or maintain.

You add a live channel in the Vodlix CMS by entering its HLS stream URL, then set its channel number, MPAA rating and maturity level, and under EPG & DVR settings its guide feed, EPG channel ID and DVR URL. The channel appears in your apps once published.

Yes. When a channel has a DVR URL, viewers can pause and rewind the live stream, and programmes that already aired can be replayed from the programme guide as catch-up. Both use the archive kept by your streaming origin, such as Flussonic.

No. Vodlix does not take a revenue share. You keep 100% of the income from subscriptions, pay per view events and advertising sold through your IPTV service.

Vodlix supports multi DRM: you add licence server URLs for Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady in the settings. Geo rules decide in which countries a channel or title can be watched, and each channel can be free, ad supported, part of a subscription or rented.

Vodlix’s Video CMS allows you to upload, categorize, and manage your on-demand video library. From the CMS, you can control monetization, platform customization, analytics, and security features.

The Vodlix Language Manager controls the languages your interface is drawn in, including menus, buttons and system messages, kept separate from how your catalogue content is translated.

Yes. Vodlix lets you install the languages your markets need, review their translations and activate each one when it is ready, without disrupting the live site.

Right to left support is a property of the language in the Vodlix Language Manager, so the layout, alignment and reading order flip automatically for Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu.

No. Vodlix manages interface language and catalogue language separately, so a viewer can have menus in one language and title descriptions in another.

No. The Vodlix webOS app runs directly on the LG television a viewer already owns, installed from the LG content store, with no streaming stick or set top box required.
