Monetization, General
Can I run subscriptions alongside rentals and advertising?

Monetization, General
Which caption formats does Vodlix accept?
Vodlix accepts SRT and VTT subtitle files, so tracks from any subtitle vendor or editing tool load directly onto a title.
General, Content Management
Which subtitle track plays first on Vodlix?
The title's default track. The player selects it when playback starts, and viewers can switch to any other track, or turn subtitles off, from the Subtitles/CC menu. On a series, the player keeps the viewer's choice from one episode to the next.
General, Content Management
Can subtitles be updated after a video is published?
Yes. A subtitle track is a separate SRT or VTT file, so you can replace it at any time, or fix its text and timing on the title's Watch & Edit tab, without re-uploading or re-encoding the video.
General, Content Management
Can viewers switch subtitle tracks while watching?
Yes. Viewers pick any attached track, or Off, from the player's Subtitles/CC menu, and can change the caption font, colour, size and background under Options.
General, Content Management
Can I add custom styling beyond the standard theme controls?
Yes. Vodlix supports custom CSS within the theme settings for teams that need precise control over typography, spacing or specific components, without modifying the platform itself.
