Frequently Asked Questions

No. Vodlix builds the tvOS app, publishes it to the Apple TV App Store and maintains it through Apple's platform changes, so nothing lands on your engineers.

Vodlix User Management covers every account, free or paid, with diagnostics and support tools. The Subscribers Manager focuses on paying subscribers, packages and revenue.

Yes. The Import User Accounts screen takes a CSV file and creates or updates accounts in bulk, and the member list exports all, active, inactive or banned users, so accounts you already hold are brought in rather than rebuilt one at a time. Anything the importer does not cover can be handled through the API, which is usually the better route when the migration also has to carry subscriptions or purchase history with it.

The renditions you define in Vodlix are exactly the quality steps the adaptive player switches between under Adaptive Bitrate Streaming, so encoding decisions shape the whole delivery chain.

Vodlix transcodes each upload into multiple renditions, packages it for adaptive playback on phones, browsers and TVs, attaches artwork and stores it on the CDN, so the file is ready to publish on every screen.

Yes. Vodlix shows the processing state of every upload in the CMS while it runs, so you can see which titles are ready to publish and which are still encoding, with no guesswork.

Programmatically. Bulk delivery for the files and the API for the metadata turns a migration into a repeatable job that can be run again to catch anything that changed while you were moving, which is what keeps a platform switch to days rather than months.

The Vodlix welcome landing page is a conversion page for new visitors arriving from ads, search and shared links. It presents your offer and pricing in a focused layout designed to turn strangers into subscribers.

Yes. Vodlix lets you preview the landing page across desktop, tablet and phone layouts, and every change is saved with undo and version history, so you publish only when it looks right.

Work is saved as you go, and there is an undo and a version history to fall back on. Publishing is a separate action from editing, so a page you are halfway through changing is not live while you think about it.

No. You can build a custom platform, assemble open-source components, or use a white-label OTT platform. The right option depends on your budget, technical team, customization needs, and launch timeline.

The most common models are advertising (AVOD), subscriptions (SVOD), pay-per-episode or pay-per-view (TVOD), sponsorships, and branded series. Many platforms use a hybrid model: free, ad-supported episodes plus paid access to premium content.
