Frequently Asked Questions

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

Getting Started

How does billing migration work for OTT platforms?

Billing migration requires careful handling of subscription status, plans, renewal dates, payment relationships, and payment-provider requirements. Sensitive payment credentials may need to remain with the original payment provider.

Getting Started, Monetization

Will subscribers need to create new accounts after migration?

Not necessarily. A properly planned migration can transfer customer account information so users can continue using their accounts on the new platform.

Getting Started

How long does an OTT platform migration take?

The timeline depends on platform complexity, data volume, applications, billing systems, integrations, and testing requirements. Vodlix states that its migration projects typically take around four to eight weeks, depending on complexity.

Getting Started

Can I migrate only my OTT apps?

Yes. A partial migration can be appropriate when a business wants to retain parts of its existing infrastructure while moving specific components.

Getting Started

What should be tested after OTT migration?

Test account access, subscriptions, billing, content playback, metadata, apps, DRM, geographic restrictions, analytics, and critical customer journeys.

Getting Started

How do I avoid losing subscriber data during migration?

Use a defined data-mapping process, backups, validation rules, test migrations, reconciliation, and a final synchronization before production cutover.

Getting Started

Can Vodlix migrate an existing OTT platform?

Yes. Vodlix provides migration services for existing OTT platforms and states that it can migrate content, customer data, and payment data, with final testing and post-launch support.

Getting Started

Why should I pre-launch my OTT platform?

A pre-launch phase lets you generate awareness, build an audience before going live, test the platform with early users, secure partnerships, and drive early sales through pre-launch promotions. It lays the groundwork for a much stronger official launch.

How do I create buzz before launching a streaming service?

Combine social media campaigns with teasers and countdowns, email marketing with sneak peeks and exclusive offers, influencer collaborations, press releases to media outlets, and contests or giveaways. Together these build anticipation and a community before day one.

Video Platform, Getting Started

Should I launch my OTT app on multiple devices at once?

Launching across multiple devices maximizes revenue and your chances of success, but it should be a strategic choice based on each platform's audience size and supported countries. White-label providers like Vodlix can deliver apps to multiple streaming devices from a single dashboard.

Can I migrate from Vimeo OTT to Vodlix?

General, Getting Started

Can I try my streaming platform with demo content first?

Yes. The setup wizard can load one of twelve demo catalogues with categories, content lists, videos, series and live channels. It is tagged as sample data, and Settings, Demo / sample data, clears all of it in one action when you are ready to launch.

How do I get started with Vodlix to create my Android app?

To get started, simply sign up on the Vodlix platform, choose the Android app option, and begin customizing your app. If you need assistance, our support team is available to guide you through the process.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

Is the Android TV app branded as mine?

Yes. The Vodlix Android TV app is fully white label, with your name, logo, colours and catalogue throughout and nothing pointing back to Vodlix.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

Do I need an engineering team for each app?

No. Vodlix treats apps as configuration rather than code, so branding and behaviour are settings and builds are produced from them. Adding a device platform is an operational step, not a hiring decision.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

How are Vodlix app builds produced?

Vodlix app builds are generated from your branding and behaviour settings in the admin area, rather than hand assembled code, so every platform stays consistent with one configuration.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

Why not store cast names as plain text?

Plain text in a synopsis is not searchable or followable. A Vodlix artist record lets viewers explore everything a person appears in and lets search and recommendations use the connection.

Content Management, Getting Started

How often should I ship an update?

Often enough that a fix is never waiting on a release, which in practice means having the process be cheap rather than having a schedule. Teams that find shipping painful ship rarely, and their apps drift furthest from the web experience.

OTT Apps, Getting Started

Can I test billing before going live?

Yes. Test mode puts payments through your gateways without charging anybody, so a signup, renewal, failure and cancellation can be rehearsed end to end. It is worth doing, because a misconfigured gateway looks correct until money is supposed to move.

Getting Started, Monetization

Do I have to plan capacity ahead on Vodlix?

No. Vodlix runs on major cloud infrastructure including AWS, so bursts are absorbed rather than predicted, and you avoid both over provisioning for a rare peak and failing when demand spikes.
