Life is colourful; movies/series/matches/shows bring us much fun, especially when we are lonely. I think that’s why YouTube, Netflix, HBO, and other Video platforms have so many subscribers.
If you have your own content and want to profit from it, then you can build your own OTT system with all platform player apps. This requires more time and collaboration among technicians to work together, and may also encounter numerous issues before it becomes stable. Choosing a system to quickly profit with all the functions may be a good option.

Social progress has brought about the division of labor and raised overall efficiency. Every person and every team has its own strengths; if technical headaches have kept you from running an OTT/IPTV service under your own brand, OTTMaker lets you stay focused on what you do best while we handle the tech.

2. What Is Necessary To Have Your Own OTT IPTV System?
2.1 CONTENT: videos and channels sources
The most important value of the OTT IPTV system is content; therefore, you must either produce your own content or acquire licensed content from other rights-holders in order to attract more subscribers.
For channels, we have a streaming system to enable them to be used by many users at the same time. Channel streams can also be encrypted to protect content security, prevent hot-linking, and maintain the platform’s appeal and competitiveness. In the app, if a channel has more than one play address, and if the player cannot play normally, the player will try another one automatically to give the users the best experience.
For vods, we can also provide a service that converts MP4 files into encrypted video streams. Each frame is encrypted on the fly, making the video extremely hard to crack and ensuring it can be decoded and played only inside our own app. If you already have a VOD server, the content can be ingested directly through our API or processed automatically with our dedicated import tool.
In a word, you just need to have the content, and we will do the work to make it show in the app for users to select.
In addition, the OTTMaker system is built as a clustered architecture: you can scale the number of servers up or down on demand and deploy as many self-hosted load-balancing nodes as required, guaranteeing smooth, high-performance delivery and an optimal viewing experience for every user.
2.2.SERVERS: for cms +streaming+videos programmers
Servers are the basic “fuel” that keeps the whole system running, just as you need gas or electricity to make the meal.
Content is the raw food; the OTTMaker system is the pots, pans, and utensils. Only when all three come together can we cook up a tasty entertainment feast for the audience.
Depending on the project needed, servers fall into three groups:
- CMS-panel servers
- Live-streaming servers
- VOD servers
Except for the CMS panel, each type can be horizontally scaled behind a load balancer to handle as many concurrent viewers as the project requires.
Our team will size the servers for you: just follow the spec sheet we provide and either buy new servers or reuse the ones you already have.
At launch, when the audience is still small, one or two live/VOD servers are enough; as viewership grows, simply spin up additional servers to match.
2.3.OTTMaker system: A CMS panel for all platform apps
If you want to quickly have your own brand OTT IPTV System, OTTMaker is your good choice. It’s a whole solution with CMS and apps, so you do not need to find another team to do the players. If you need the all platform player can be provided, like Android TV/box/fire stick/phone, iOS phone, Apple TV, Samsung, and LG TVs.
The cms is for admins to manage all the data of the system, and it connects the app and the stream&VOD servers; it’s a bridge between the users and the system. Admin can manage the channels, sources, VODS&EPISODES, accounts, subscription cards, and so on.
2.4. OTHERS:APP name+logo+API of EPG
Of course the brand for the app and system ,the app name and the logo picture ,and other API data like EPG\VOD files,or others that needed for the system personalization assets.
