Trackflix — Enabling Content Creators to Launch Their Own Netflix-Like Video Libraries

Demand is increasing for cloud native applications that enable content creators to display and manage their video assets and live streams. Viewers desire a “Netflix-like” experience to discover and watch content. Building such a platform from scratch can be time consuming and cost prohibitive. As a result, TrackIt has created an affordable, prebuilt, yet customizable solution that allows the launch of custom video libraries within a matter of hours.

What is Trackflix?

Designed to provide content creators with an inexpensive, easy-to-use, and flexible video-library solution, TrackFlix can quickly be deployed to upload, categorize, manage and display VOD assets and live streams. As an all-in-one platform, it allows content creators to quickly set up and launch their own customized video library.

Applications

Trackflix is an ideal choice for any company engaged in content creation looking to publish their VOD libraries and streaming content. Applications can vary from publicly accessible websites to internal only communications. The cost-effective deployment and maintenance costs makes it an attractive option for companies in need of a highly effective yet affordable tool to streamline media asset sharing and management. For instance, Trackflix could be the ideal fit for enterprises looking to streamline the cataloging and management of its in-house communications, training, or marketing assets.

Background Showcase

The home page features a showcase video that can be displayed as either a still image or looping video content. Featured content can be changed quickly and easily, so content remains fresh and engaging, with an appearance common to many popular VOD services.

VOD Video Player

Trackflix uses VideoJS, a popular, fully-managed, open-source HTML5 player framework that provides users with all the capabilities needed for seamless and high-quality video streaming. The player is responsive and provides all of the expected player controls.

Video Preview

Users can quickly preview video assets by hovering the cursor over video thumbnails. This feature provides quick content identification of assets without having to load the full video.

Live Streaming

Trackflix uses Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) to create the RTMP URL to connect with the video player. Three settable options for live streaming latency are available, on par with other popular platforms:

Normal Latency: Ideal for live streams with no audience interaction. This is the highest quality setting and has the lowest amount of buffering.

Low Latency: Ideal for near real-time interactivity during live streams. This setting allows minimal viewer buffering while maintaining quality.

Ultra-low Latency: Ideal for highly-interactive live streams. This setting helps maximize engagement, but may increase the chances of buffering

Content Manager

Trackflix includes a Content Manager, which is a full video Content Management System (CMS) allowing users to create, manage, and modify digital content without needing specialized technical knowledge. This is essential for content creators or administrators to upload, categorize, schedule, and distribute content, while also controlling user permissions and managing workflows. The CMS not only simplifies the process of adding new videos, and updating titles or descriptions for search optimization. It also provides integrated analytics to track viewer engagement.
