Everything you need to know about Vodlix. Can't find an answer? Our team is happy to help.
Video Platform
Can Vodlix profiles be customised?
Yes. Viewers give each profile its own name and picture, chosen from the platform's avatar set or uploaded, plus a maturity level and an optional PIN. Administrators can see every profile on the subscriber's record.
Video Platform
Is profile selection suitable for families?
Yes. Vodlix profile selection makes sharing one account easy for a household, with per profile maturity levels keeping content appropriate and a separate watch history and My List for each family member.
Video Platform
How can I protect my profile with a PIN?
Open Account Settings and choose Change Code to set a 4-digit PIN for your profile. Anyone switching to a locked profile must enter it, on the web and in the mobile and TV apps. Remove Pin clears the lock, and a forgotten PIN can be reset by email.
Video Platform
What does the Vodlix quality limiter do?
The Vodlix quality limiter sets the highest resolution each subscription plan can reach, turning your encoding ladder into pricing tiers such as SD, HD and 4K without any code.
Monetization, Video Platform
Will viewers on a capped plan experience buffering?
No. The Vodlix quality cap only sets a ceiling. Below it, adaptive bitrate streaming still adjusts quality to the connection, so a viewer on a weak line drops to a lower rendition and recovers normally.
Video Platform
Is a quality cap the same as a fixed resolution?
No. A fixed resolution would stall on weak connections. A Vodlix quality cap sets only the maximum rendition allowed, while the player continues to adapt freely beneath it.
Monetization, Video Platform
Can viewers still choose a lower quality themselves?
Yes. The plan sets the ceiling and the viewer can pick anything at or below it, which matters for people on metered connections. What they cannot do is exceed their entitlement.
Video Platform, OTT Apps
What if I have not encoded a high resolution at all?
Then there is nothing to gate, because a cap can only limit renditions that exist. Quality tiering and your encoding ladder are the same decision approached from two directions, and it is worth planning them together.

Does Vodlix handle both rentals and purchases?
Yes. Vodlix manages TVOD rentals with an expiring access window and one time purchases with permanent access from the same interface, and both appear in the Orders Manager.
Video Platform
Can I track how individual titles sell?
Yes. The Vodlix Rental and Purchases Manager records each sale with its amount and gateway, and the order filters narrow it to a single title or date range, so you can see how each title sells and how it responds to price changes.
