Info Looking for VOD software

[crash1987]

Alright so currently I'm an IPTV reseller. I would like to offer my customers VOD as an addon that I setup and run on my own. I was wondering what software I can use that will allow me to make accounts, manage the videos and works with the common players such as xciptv or smarters.

Any help in the right direction would be great.

There are a lot of choices available. Each has their own perks and caveats. Knowing more about the server environment and content availability would definitely help in pointing you towards the right direction.

Thank you for the reply. I'm looking something that might like plex, something that can work on most devices without too much fuss. The server will have strictly movies and seasons of tv shows.

Although I personally haven't tested these YET here are a few that look interesting. It seems you only have require a management server if I understand correctly. With that consideration, you could consider any of the following.....

Alternatively, you could use XtreamUI or one of the other panels. User @brasileño has been doing A LOT of work focused towards VoD and Series and if I understand correctly, his updates will be getting merged into the Official package.

Another tidbit of a tip, you could use one of the methods described in this thread to avoid relocation of these files.

HowTo - Mitigating (dealing with) severs with large amounts of data (40+ TB)

Over the last couple weeks, the question has come up several times "what can I do to preserve the large amount of data that I have?" Well, that is why I'm writing this. There are several ways to handle servers with large amounts of data. Solution 1: Manual transfer (nobody has time for that!)...

I currently use oxoo 1.1 dont use it unless your willing to pay to have it modified the standard version works greate for indexing movies and stuff but when it comes to adding tv shows its a nightmare you need to ad each episode one by one so with shows like family guy or the simpsons with 20+ seasons and 20+ episodes per season it will take you for ever !

i had to make all the modifications my self also it does not allow you to take payments and stuff

your best bet would be to setup your own simple nginx server and use some bassic php / mysql authentication on it to lock the files down via user accounts if you dont want to pay for a huge server to hold your vod i have a very cheeky but fun way of doing things

you will need a google drive unlimited storage account to uploads your movies and stuff to i suggest uploading them with the names changed to something like the tmdb id for the content that way you can check what everything is and the names of links dont stand out

then create a google drive api key to allow you to share and request content from the unlimited google drive folders you put your vod into

now all you need todo is create a mysql db to hold the following information

username
password
exp_date

then with the usage of a simple php script and .htaccess you can lock every file down by having your php script require the username and password to redirect to the google drive file this means if you delete a username from db they can no longer access content

using .htaccess you can change the urls to something more friendly like

http://server.com/vod/username/password/videoid.mp4

just like you would get out of extreamcodes if you want to integrate it into an app that your all ready selling iptv from thats gonna be a bit harder as its all hardcoded to come from the one server you have 2 options

1. contact the person you resell for have them whitelist your servers ip address in there pannel and then create a php api clone that you can edit your vod into
2. have a custom application created to use there tv and your vod

Thank you both for your replies!

Streama I tried installing it last night but it stalled during the install process last night. I might give it another try and see what happens.

OXOO - It looks promising but I can see where adding tv episodes would be a pain. I'd have to modify that for sure.

Magoware - I'm going to look into this more.

 

[urgodfather]

There were others too but I can't remember them all..... if I do think of them, I'll follow back up.

I do paid work on php with modifications and stuff and have modified it my self its not to hard todo you just need todo some edits in the api files and model files and add a new function to the apis to support splitting the links and stuff


gogle drive and some php is a good simple way togo no need to worry about server bandwidth or anything then as well lol

Interesting approach. Just curious does Google monitor traffic to accounts? One account shouldnt have so much traffic to multiple IPs. Anybody experience takedowns with this?
