Can autoplay be overdone?
It can, which is why Vodlix pairs autoplay with a visible countdown and an obvious way to stop. Respecting the viewer's control is what keeps the retention benefit without the backlash.
Content Management, Video Platform
What is the benefit of cloud infrastructure over fixed capacity?
With Vodlix on elastic cloud infrastructure you do not pay for a peak you rarely use, and you do not fail when demand spikes. Capacity follows the audience rather than a forecast.

What branding assets does a Vodlix platform need?
It depends on the apps you run. The website needs a favicon and logos, the mobile apps need app icons, notification icons and splash screens, and each TV platform has its own icon or tile. Vodlix lists every slot per app and marks the ones required before that app can be published.
Content Management, Getting Started
How do I know the right size for each branding asset?
Each upload slot shows its dimensions, format and maximum file size, for example 192×192 PNG up to 25KB for the favicon and 1024×1024 PNG for the iOS app icon. Store specific slots link to the store guidelines, and the iOS icon slot offers a template.
Content Management
Can I preview a branding asset before saving it?
Yes. Every app has a live preview of its device, such as an iPhone or Android home screen, an Apple TV home row or the Roku home screen, with home and splash views and, on mobile, light and dark mode.
Content Management
Do I have to upload everything separately for every app?
No. The brand kit holds your shared logo, colours and default splash, and every app reuses it until you override an asset for that app. Copy from app starts one app from another app's set.
Content Management, Getting Started
Which apps do Vodlix branding assets cover?
The website and PWA, the iOS and Android apps, and the Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS apps, each with its own page of assets.
OTT Apps, Content Management
Can I control how the splash screen behaves?
Yes. You set the minimum time it stays on screen, from 500 to 15,000 milliseconds, whether the centre logo shows, whether an animation plays over the background, bottom text with its colour and size, and native bottom branding on Android 12 and later. Apple TV and Android TV can also play an MP4 splash video of up to 10 MB.
Content Management, OTT Apps
How is this different from white label?
White label is the proposition that the service is yours rather than ours. Branding assets is the practical work of it: the specific files that have to exist, at the right sizes, for that to be true on every screen a viewer might see.
Content Management, General
Where are Vodlix access rules enforced?
Vodlix access rules live on the content and the account and are enforced server side when a stream is requested, so they hold on the website, in every app version and on any device.
Content Management, Security & DRM
Can I set an age rating on a title?
Yes. Titles carry a maturity level along with content rating tags and an MPAA rating, so a catalogue can be filtered by what is appropriate rather than only by genre. That is often a regulatory requirement rather than a nicety, particularly for services that carry both family and adult programming.
Content Management, Security & DRM
What is a content bundle or bouquet on Vodlix?
A Vodlix bundle or bouquet is a commercial set of titles or live channels, such as a sports pack, that subscribers buy as a group and that grants access to every item in the set at once.
Monetization, Content Management
How is a bouquet different from a genre row?
A genre row on Vodlix is editorial and exists for browsing. A bouquet is commercial and exists for selling and entitlement. Vodlix keeps the two separate so merchandising and billing stay clean.
