I have a plan to open a VOD platform like Netflix but in a particular locality. Is there any ready-made software to start a website like this?

    Interesting idea, @ashley john. Have you looked into Wowza or UScreen? I don't know too much about the quality and ease of use of either, but I know each offers a video-on-demand solution.

    Thanks Ryan, I checked this two but it's a bit costly. Can you tell me about Streamhash? I've already used their free lite version and it's pretty cool till now. Good quality coding. Should I buy their premium version or looking for some others?

    I am not very familiar with StreamHash. Coding is not my forte, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but in my opinion you should never sacrifice the quality of your product for price. I would maybe suggest doing a demo with StreamHash's premium version (if that is possible) and see what it has to offer. If you then think that is the right platform for you, then go for it.

    Yes, I used it's free lite version and satisfied with this product. I'm planning to buy it's ultimate version for my business in coming month.

    Hello Ashley John,

    Have a look at Vplayed, is an online video on demand platform built for broadcasters, educational institutions, media houses and every other business that requires video streaming for the business model. With strong encryption and access control methods, Vplayed keeps hack attempts at bay.

    I think before starting VOD platform like Netflix. It is important to get Video App Development Basics information like Types, Market, Features, & Cost. So, that it will get huge success like netflix.

    Here I'm sharing a list of video streaming software-

    1. OBS Studio

    2. Wirecast

    3. VidBlasterX

    4. vMix

    5. XSplit

    Hope this will help you.
