An Algorithm Cannot Know What You Are Launching

Vodlix home page content is built on the principle that somebody has to decide what goes first. Recommendation algorithms guess what a viewer will finish, but they cannot know what you spent a year acquiring or what you are launching this week. The top of the home page is the most valuable space on your platform, and Editor Picks lets a person choose what fills it. For OTT operators, editorial control of the hero area is how a launch gets the attention it deserves.

Your Picks at the Top, Rows That Keep Themselves Below

In Vodlix, Editor's Pick is the hero banner at the top of the home page, and a person decides what goes in it and in what order. Below it, the Recent Movies and Trending Movies rows update on their own, and your content lists follow in the order you set for the Home Page group. Display & Listing switches decide whether movies, series and live channels appear on the home page at all. You get editorial control where it matters most and rows that need no daily attention everywhere else, all managed from the same CMS.


Hand Picked Hero or Automatic Sections

Vodlix lets you hand pick the titles in the hero and choose how it looks: a hero banner, or a hero with its video playing. Populate List fills Editor's Pick automatically from your categories and tags, and the four pickers add films, series, episodes and live channels to the same list. Drag the rows to set the order the hero plays in; it saves as you go. Hand picked placements support launches and campaigns, while automatic filling keeps the page fresh without daily editing, so the front page reflects both your strategy and your catalogue's variety.

Home Page Content Consistent Across Screens

What you choose for the top of the Vodlix home page carries across web, mobile and TV. The same Editor's Pick leads on every device, so a launch leads everywhere at once, and each app lays it out for its own screen; on the mobile app you can show it in landscape and autoplay its video. There is no separate curation per platform. Consistent home page content ensures every viewer, on every screen, sees what you decided they should see first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

What is Editor Picks on the Vodlix home page?
Editor Picks is the part of the Vodlix home page where a person chooses what fills the most valuable space at the top, such as a new release or a title you are promoting.
Why not let an algorithm decide the top of the home page?
Recommendations predict what a viewer will finish, but they cannot know what you have just acquired or are launching this week. Vodlix Editor Picks gives that decision to a person.
Can I mix content types at the top of the home page?
Yes. Editor's Pick can combine films, series, episodes and live channels in one list, and the hero moves through them in the order you set.
Can home page sections fill automatically on Vodlix?
Yes. Populate List fills Editor's Pick from your categories and tags, and a dynamic content list fills a row the same way, so the page stays fresh without daily editing. You can still add, remove and reorder titles by hand at any time.
Does home page content carry across devices?
Yes. Home page content set in the Vodlix CMS appears in the same positions on web, mobile and TV, so a launch leads everywhere at once with no separate curation per platform.
Does the home page differ between web, mobile and TV?
The sections are the same because all three read the same arrangement, though each platform lays them out to suit its own screen and input. That means one decision rather than three, and a promotion appearing everywhere at once rather than drifting.
Can I stop something appearing without deleting it?
Items can be removed from a section without touching the title itself, individually or in bulk. The content stays in your catalogue and remains searchable, it simply stops being promoted, which is what you usually want when a campaign ends.
How many items should a hero section carry?
That is an editorial judgement rather than a technical limit, and the platform will hold as many as you add. Most services keep the top section short, because a hero that rotates through twenty titles is closer to a screensaver than a recommendation.
