Device Management System: Know Every Screen Your Service Plays On

Account Sharing Is a Settings Problem

The Vodlix device management system treats account sharing as a settings problem rather than an unsolvable one. Every streaming service is shared to some degree; the question is how much you tolerate. Vodlix lets you decide, write the answer into the subscription plan as a device and concurrent screen limit, and let the platform hold the line automatically. For OTT operators, this protects revenue without adding friction for genuine households.

Concurrent Screen Limits on the Plan

In Vodlix, the number of screens that can watch at once is a property of the subscription plan. Set a concurrency limit on each package, and an account cannot quietly become six households. Premium plans can allow more simultaneous streams than entry level plans, turning the limit into a pricing feature as well as a control. Plan level concurrency is enforced at playback across every device, with no code changes required.


A Factual Record of Every Session

Vodlix records every playback session against the account that opened it, with the device, the app and the IP address. The result is a factual picture of how each account is used, searchable by user, device or address, rather than anecdotes about suspected sharing. The same data supports both enforcement and insight. When you need to investigate an account or understand usage patterns, the record is already there.


See Where Your Viewers Actually Watch

Session data in Vodlix, broken down by app and device type, shows where your audience actually watches. If most viewing happens on smart TVs, that informs where to invest in app development; if mobile dominates, it shapes your content and marketing. Device management is not only about enforcement; most of the data is simply useful. Knowing where viewers watch is what lets you prioritise the platforms that matter.


Frequently Asked Questions

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

What does the Vodlix device management system record?
Vodlix records every playback session against the account that opened it, including the device, the app and the IP address, all searchable by user, device or address from the admin area.
How do I stop excessive account sharing on Vodlix?
Set a concurrent screen limit and a device limit on each subscription plan in Vodlix. The platform enforces the limit at playback across every device, with no code changes required.
Is device data only used for enforcement?
No. Most Vodlix device data is simply useful, showing where and how your audience watches by app and device type, which informs where to invest in apps and content.
Can I see which apps and devices are used most?
Yes. Vodlix breaks sessions down by app and device type, so you can see whether viewing happens mainly on smart TVs, mobile or web and prioritise accordingly.
Is a screen limit set per account or per plan on Vodlix?
Screen and device limits are set on the subscription plan in Vodlix and applied to every account on that plan, so premium tiers can allow more simultaneous streams than entry level tiers.
Can I find a specific session if a customer reports a problem?
You can search by username, email, address or session ID, and filter by date range and by app on top of that. In practice that means whatever the customer tells you is enough to find the session, including the case where they only remember roughly when it happened and which device they were using.
Do rentals and purchases have their own device limit?
They do. A transactional order carries its own allowance for how many screens it opens on, separate from whatever a subscription allows. That matters because a film somebody bought outright and a plan they pay for monthly are not the same commitment and do not need the same rule.
Can my own systems read this device data?
Yes. Sessions and the accounts behind them are available through the Vodlix REST API, so a fraud tool, an internal dashboard or a support desk can work from the same records. That is usually better than exporting, because the answer somebody sees in your tool and the answer in the admin area stay the same.
