USE CASE - MIGRATE

Outgrew your
current platform?

If Vimeo, Uscreen or Muvi is holding you back on native TV apps, FAST channels, DRM or monetization, OTTEngine gives you all of it - with a guided migration that moves your catalog, branding and subscribers.

WHY SWITCH

The reasons services move to OTTEngine

A streaming migration moves your content, branding, apps and subscribers from one OTT provider to another - ideally without losing your catalog, your audience or your place in the app stores.

Real native TV apps

Not every platform ships true native apps on all eight stores. Living-room reach on Roku, Fire TV and Apple TV is where growth is - and where OTTEngine leads.

FAST and every model

Add a 24/7 FAST channel and mix SVOD, AVOD and TVOD freely. Many platforms lock you into one model; OTTEngine runs them all.

Studio-grade DRM

Multi-DRM (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay) protects premium and licensed content - often a hard requirement that lighter platforms cannot meet.

GUIDED MIGRATION

Switch without starting over

Migrating sounds daunting; OTTEngine makes it managed. We help move your catalog, metadata and branding, rebuild your apps natively across all eight platforms, and plan the subscriber transition so you keep the audience you have built.

  • Native apps on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Samsung, LG, iOS, and Android
  • Full white-label branding - your logo, colors, and layout, not a template
  • SVOD, AVOD (with server-side ad insertion), and TVOD - or any hybrid
  • Live streaming with RTMP ingest (OBS, Wirecast, or hardware encoders)
  • 24/7 FAST / linear channels with EPG scheduling
  • Studio-grade multi-DRM - Widevine, PlayReady, and FairPlay
  • Cross-platform analytics - views, watch time, retention, and churn
  • Automatic app-store submission and SDK / certification updates

KEY FEATURES

What you gain by moving

Your brand on the biggest screen

Full white-label design - your name, logo, color palette, and content organization. Viewers see a polished experience that reflects your brand, not a generic template.

24/7 linear and FAST channels

Schedule your library into a continuous linear stream like a traditional TV channel. The scheduling engine and EPG run it automatically, around the clock.

SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD - your way

Subscription, ad-supported, or pay-per-view - or any combination. Native billing (Roku Pay, Apple/Google IAP), pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and rentals are built in.

Live events, streamed everywhere

Broadcast live to every screen using any RTMP-compatible encoder. Multi-CDN delivery keeps it smooth for a small class or a stadium crowd.

One CMS, every platform

Manage VOD, live, and linear schedules from one unified dashboard. Update metadata, artwork, and shelves once and publish across all your apps instantly.

Analytics that drive decisions

Track views, episode performance, viewer retention, and subscription metrics with daily, monthly, and yearly reports - so you program with real data.

HOW IT WORKS

Your migration, step by step

Most OTTEngine clients are live within about 7 days.

1

Connect your content

Upload your existing catalog or connect your existing storage. OTTEngine ingests, transcodes to adaptive HLS/DASH, generates thumbnails, and organizes everything automatically.

2

Build - no code

Design the experience in the no-code builder: content shelves, branding, and your monetization model, previewed in real time. No engineers, no SDKs.

3

Submit & go live

OTTEngine submits to every app store and handles certification. Most apps pass on the first review. Most clients are live within about 7 days.

MONETIZATION

Monetize better after you move

SVOD subscriptions

A recurring monthly or annual fee for full access, billed natively through Roku Pay, Apple and Google in-app purchase, or Stripe on web. Best for a loyal audience and predictable revenue.

AVOD (ad-supported)

Free to viewers; you earn from pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Server-side ad insertion delivers smooth, blocker-resistant breaks. Best for reach and for FAST channels.

TVOD / pay-per-view

Viewers pay per title to rent or buy. Ideal for film releases, one-off live events, and premium specials sitting beside a free or subscription tier.

FAQ

Migration questions, answered

No. OTTEngine helps import your existing videos, metadata and artwork so you are not rebuilding your library by hand. The goal is to bring your catalog over intact.

We plan the billing and subscriber transition with you to keep churn low. Depending on your current provider and billing rails, subscribers move or re-subscribe through native billing on each platform.

The biggest differences are native apps on all eight TV and mobile platforms, built-in FAST channels, studio-grade multi-DRM, support for every monetization model, and flat pricing without revenue share. Confirm specifics against your current plan.

No. Your new OTTEngine apps are built and submitted while your current service keeps running, so there is no gap. You retire the old apps once the new ones are live.

It varies with catalog size and how many platforms you launch, but many services complete the core migration in a matter of weeks. We scope a timeline during the audit step.

OTTEngine uses flat plan pricing rather than taking a cut of your subscriptions - a common reason services on revenue-share platforms move over as they scale.
