The OTT category is flooded with cheap Netflix-clone scripts. The problem isn’t the UI — it’s what happens when a real audience actually presses play. Most scripts ship with unsigned HLS streams (so the video URL is one curl command away from being pirated), no adaptive bitrate (so anyone on a 4G connection rage-quits), and a monolithic backend that falls over at a few thousand concurrent viewers.
We built Flixoo to remove those three failure modes from day one. DRM-protected playback, adaptive HLS & DASH manifests for every encode, a backend that runs comfortably on autoscaled cloud infrastructure, and the same content library served identically on web, Android phones and Android TV — with a single admin and a single subscriber identity.
Player-first engineering, then everything else
We started where most OTT projects finish: at the player. We picked ExoPlayer for native Android, hls.js / dash.js for web, and built a unified streaming pipeline that encodes every uploaded asset into multi-bitrate ladders, watermarks them, packages them for HLS and DASH, and signs every manifest with a short-lived token. Without that foundation, the rest of the product is a demo.
On top of that came the Laravel backend (content CMS, subscriber accounts, billing, analytics, roles), a Vue.js admin panel for content operations and the native Kotlin Android app (MVVM, Room cache, Glide image pipeline, Material 3 UI). Authentication and push run through Firebase. Storage and delivery are AWS S3 + CloudFront with origin-shielded caching so a spike in viewers doesn’t drag the origin down.

Results
Key Achievements
- Shipped a production OTT platform for web, Android and smart TV
- Integrated DRM-style protection with short-lived signed manifests
- Adaptive HLS & DASH playback across every device class
- Unified admin with analytics, monetisation and content scheduling
- Subscription billing with promo codes, trials and grace periods
Challenges
- Maintaining playback quality on low-bandwidth and 4G networks
- Locking down premium content against URL scraping and ripping
- Scaling origin and CDN cost as the catalogue and audience grew
- Delivering an identical UX on web, mobile and the 10-foot TV experience
We tested four other OTT scripts before Flixoo. Two pirated playback in five minutes, one couldn’t hold 500 concurrent viewers. Flixoo was the only build where the player was treated as the core product, not a checkbox.

Buyer FAQ — building an OTT platform like Flixoo
Flixoo is a complete OTT and live-TV streaming platform — Laravel/Vue web admin and storefront, native Kotlin Android phone and TV apps, an encoding and packaging pipeline (HLS + DASH), subscription billing, content scheduling and viewer analytics. It is sold as a one-time licence with full source ownership.
A white-label re-deployment with your branding, content seeding, payment gateway, app store publishing and a small custom UI typically goes live in 4 to 8 weeks. A fully custom OTT platform with original content workflows, multiple subscription tiers or live sports takes 16 to 26 weeks.
Yes. Every uploaded asset is transcoded into a multi-bitrate ladder and packaged for HLS and DASH. Manifests are signed with short-lived tokens so URLs can’t be scraped. Offline downloads with DRM-style protection are supported on the Android app.
Yes. Flixoo supports live channels via RTMP/HLS ingest from any encoder (OBS, hardware encoders, cloud transcoders), with DVR rewind, EPG (electronic programming guide) and concurrent-viewer limits per subscription tier.
Subscription (SVOD) with multiple tiers, transactional (TVOD / rent-or-buy), ad-supported (AVOD) with pre-roll and mid-roll, and free tiers with paywall upgrades. Stripe, PayPal and local gateways are integrated; promo codes, trials and grace periods are built in.
On standard AWS infrastructure (autoscaled API + CloudFront in front of S3 origin), Flixoo has sustained 12,000+ concurrent viewers without origin pressure. Beyond that you scale horizontally — the architecture is designed for unlimited horizontal scale.
Native Android and Android TV apps ship by default. Fire TV runs the Android TV build. iOS and Apple TV apps are available as a separate engagement, typically 8–12 weeks of additional work on top of a Flixoo deployment.
The CodeCanyon licence is a few hundred dollars. White-label re-deployments by SpaGreen start at $4,800 USD. Fully custom OTT builds with original content pipelines, multi-region CDN, live sports or advanced DRM are scoped per project and typically land between $25,000 and $90,000.
