I have built my own Roku app and looking at 3codes to start. I understand I can use an external CDN that will not count against Viloud minutes, is there a way to add SCTE-35 ad markers + EPG without jumping to 10 codes?
Do you have any videos or tutorials on how to connect my channel to OTT platforms for streaming?

A: Hi,
At the moment, we don't have specific videos for connecting a channel to OTT platforms.
We provide the M3U8 output link for linear channels, which is the format typically used to ingest the channel into third-party players, mobile apps, Smart TV apps, or OTT platforms like Roku or Apple TV.
You can check our help guide on how to get the M3U8 link...
Hello: May I ask if CNAME for share/embed URLs is actually on your roadmap. To be honest, when Viloud's domain shows up in the iframes and m3u8 links, it ruins our branding as an agency, and narrows down our use to just a fraction of what otherwise could be a very powerful app. I understand it may take a while with other priorities on your agenda, but if I know a FULL white label option is on the...

A: Hi,
I understand the concern. When the Viloud domain is visible in the iframe src or in the M3U8 link, I understand that for some agencies, this limits the white-label value.

In 2024 your team vaguely mentioned working on adding subtitles on Viloud platform. The problem with your player is that it appears to purposely strip the subtitles of a video regardless where it is coming from. The only option left is to hardcode them into the video, which eliminates multi-language, and in many cases it is not a normal practice. IMHO, this is a massive oversight. Technically...

A: Hi,
Thanks for the detailed comment.
You are right that subtitles/closed captions are an important part of the viewer experience, and technically yes, this is possible.
The short answer is that it has not been ignored on purpose, but it also has not been prioritized enough by us so far. Most of our focus has gone into channel creation, scheduling, playout, delivery, live streaming, and...
Thank you, that helps. It may be a great idea to update your how-to database to reflect the process for this because I could not find anything similar to what you just explained :) I'll contact your tech support to further this discussion for the proper steps. Thank you again.

Thanks for your clarification, Joan. It's still a good buy, to be fair. Good luck, and take care.
