Architecture Specification

A streaming platform like OSN+ is a premium, ad-free subscription service for the Middle East pairing live television channels with an on-demand library of films and series, in Arabic and English, television first. Flicknexs supplies the cloud playout scheduler for channels, the library with rental windows, the Arabic and English interface, subtitles and country rules, and television apps.

Flicknexs provides streaming platform like osn+ as part of its white-label OTT platform. Flicknexs runs a premium live-plus-library service with linear channels from the cloud playout scheduler, films and series behind subscription plans with rental windows for new releases, the viewer interface in Arabic and English, subtitle files and geo-fencing per title, and television apps on the higher plans.

Strategic Value

How do you launch a streaming platform like OSN+ on Flicknexs, what does it cost, and what are the limits?

01

You build your own premium streaming platform by starting from a video platform that already runs live channels beside a library, bills subscriptions, and ships television apps, then adding the channels and titles you hold rights to. Yes, a pay-television operator or a film distributor can start its own service; the rights are the hard part. On cost, the figure is a flat plan price, not a share of revenue. F4 Enterprise includes 2 TB of storage and 20 TB of bandwidth monthly and adds dedicated support to everything in F3; Samsung, LG, Roku and Apple TV apps are add-ons on any plan. See our pricing page for current plan and pricing details.

02

A premium regional service has a different shape from a free drama service. There are no ads, so the subscription must carry the whole business and the paid experience must feel worth it on the television. Live channels matter because the operator is moving a pay-television audience online, and those viewers expect a channel list with a schedule. New films arrive with windows, so a title may be a rental for a period before it enters the subscription. Flicknexs covers each of these: cloud playout channels, subscription plans, rental windows with start and expiry, and television apps across the major platforms.

03

The public OSN+ site shows the expectation a premium subscriber brings: a channel guide beside a film shelf, an interface in Arabic and English, a single subscription and apps on every television. Use it as a requirements list and check each line against the capabilities table below. Flicknexs is not affiliated with OSN+; the name describes the product category viewers recognize. What you launch is your own channels and your own library for your own territories, under your brand, on a platform that bills you a flat monthly fee.

Capabilities & Specifications

What OSN+ does versus how Flicknexs gives you the same

A real monthly cost from the published price list, the exact admin steps, and an honest list of what a platform like this needs that Flicknexs does not do, on one page for a streaming platform like OSN+. Every row below is in the platform code today.

01

Live channels and library together

Cloud playout channels and the on-demand library appear in the same apps under one subscription.

A pay-television audience expects both.
02

A channel list from a schedule

The cloud playout scheduler builds linear M3U8 channels from your titles, up to the plan channel count.

A channel guide is how these viewers browse.
03

Ad-free premium subscription

Subscription plans billed monthly or annually open every title marked subscription, with no ad tags.

Premium means paying to lose the ads.
04

New releases as rentals first

Rental windows with start, expiry and view counts sell a new film before it enters the plan.

Film windows are how distributors price.
05

Arabic and English interface

The viewer interface ships in five languages including Arabic and English, selectable per viewer.

The premium audience switches between both.
06

Subtitles per film and episode

WebVTT subtitle files upload per title in Arabic, English and other languages for the player selector.

Imported films need subtitles both ways.
07

Country rules per title

Geo-fencing sets a block or allow list per video, series and audio item, enforced at playback.

Regional rights are country by country.
08

Television apps

Android TV and Fire TV apps on F3 Premium; Apple TV, Roku, Samsung and LG on F4 Enterprise.

Premium viewing starts on the big screen.

What makes the OSN+ model work, translated into platform requirements

Six mechanics carry a premium live-plus-library service. Each item names the requirement and the Flicknexs feature that meets it.

01

A channel guide beside a film shelf

A subscriber moving from pay television wants a channel list first and a library second. The requirement is linear channels built from your library, with a schedule, delivered in the same app as on-demand titles. The Flicknexs cloud playout scheduler creates M3U8 channels from titles you already hold, up to the channel count our pricing page footnote allows per plan, and the apps show them beside the library.

Included
02

One subscription with no ads

Premium means the subscriber pays to remove advertising. The requirement is a subscription plan that opens the channels and the library, billed monthly or annually, with the ad tags left empty. Flicknexs subscription plans do this through the payment service, and server-side ad insertion is a setting you leave off. The viewer sees a clean player from the first channel to the last film.

Included
03

Windows on new films

A distributor prices a new film as a rental before it enters the subscription. The requirement is a per-title rental with a start, an expiry and a view count, and a later switch to subscription. Flicknexs pay-per-view per title carries rental windows with exactly those fields, and the access rule on the title can change from rental to subscription when the window closes.

Included
04

An interface in Arabic and English

The premium regional audience reads both. The requirement is a viewer interface language selectable per viewer, covering menus, player and checkout. Flicknexs ships the viewer interface in five languages including Arabic and English. Check both on a trial account, on the television as well as the phone, and confirm the right-to-left layout of your theme before launch.

Included
05

Subtitles both ways

An Arabic film needs English subtitles for expatriate subscribers and an English film needs Arabic. The requirement is a subtitle file per title in more than one language with a selector in the player. Flicknexs takes WebVTT uploads per video and per episode, keeps an admin language catalog and shows the caption selector on every device including the television apps.

Included
06

Territory control across the region

Rights for a premium catalog are sold country by country. The requirement is an allow or block list per title enforced at playback. Flicknexs geo-fencing works platform-wide and per video, series and audio item, with the viewer country from an IP lookup. A film licensed for the Gulf gets a Gulf allow list, and a viewer in North Africa sees a refusal rather than a stream.

Included

Setup: how to launch an OSN+-style platform in the Flicknexs admin

Five steps in the order the admin expects them. With channels defined and rights translated, a library and ten channels take two weeks.

  1. 1

    Set both interface languages and the subtitle catalog

    In settings, enable Arabic and English as viewer interface languages, and add both plus any other subtitle languages to the language catalog. Open the web player and the television app on a trial account in each language and read every screen. Fix theme issues in right-to-left before content is loaded.

  2. 2

    Translate every license into country codes

    Write each contract territory as ISO 3166-1 codes per title and per channel source. Switch on geo-fencing in settings, choose a block or allow list for the platform, and add per-title lists where a film or series is narrower. Allow lists fail safe, which suits a premium catalog with a short schedule of countries.

  3. 3

    Upload the library with windows and subtitles

    Create films and series with artwork, descriptions and categories, and upload Arabic and English WebVTT files per title. Mark new releases as pay-per-view with a rental window and a later switch to subscription; mark the rest as subscription. Set free-preview minutes on flagship titles so the trailer shelf converts.

  4. 4

    Build the channels and the subscription plan

    In the cloud playout scheduler, create each linear channel from library titles with a schedule and leave the ad tag empty for an ad-free service. Create a monthly and an annual subscription plan and connect a gateway that serves your countries from the payment gateways screen. Confirm the channel count sits inside your plan allowance.

  5. 5

    Brand every app and run one living-room test

    Upload your logo, colors and splash screens in the app builder, then release the web player, the phone apps, the Android TV and Fire TV apps, and the add-on television apps your plan includes. Subscribe with a real card, open a channel on the television, rent a new film, switch subtitles, then confirm a blocked country is refused.

What Flicknexs does not do that OSN+ does

Stated plainly so the gaps are planned for before the licenses are signed.

01

No studio catalog and no output deals

The large premium services hold output deals with major studios that put new films on the service by contract. Flicknexs is the platform; the catalog is what you license or produce. For a pay-television operator with existing channel and film rights, the platform is the missing piece. For a founder without rights, the acquisition budget is the real cost and the platform fee is a small line beneath it.

Included
02

DRM only through the delivery layer, on request

Studio licenses usually require DRM. Flicknexs does not build DRM into the platform code; DRM is arranged through the delivery layer on request as part of an enterprise plan. What exists in code is a player logo watermark overlay, signed URLs, geo-fencing and per-title access rules. Raise the contract clause on the demo call before you sign the license, not after.

Included
03

No offline download, no Dolby, no 4K

Premium services let subscribers download films for travel and stream them in high resolution with surround audio. Flicknexs streams over adaptive HLS with a ladder selectable up to 1440p, and does not offer offline download, Dolby audio or 4K. For a channel-led service on a television at 1080p this is rarely noticed, but state it in the app description so it does not become a support question.

Included
04

No multiple audio tracks and no per-profile continue watching

Switching between an Arabic dub and the original mid-film is common on premium services, as is a resume position per family member. Flicknexs plays a single AAC audio track per title, so a dubbed version is published as its own title tagged with its audio language, and continue watching is recorded per account rather than per profile. Multiple profiles with kids mode do exist per account.

Included
05

No electronic program guide beyond the schedule

A pay-television operator is used to a full electronic program guide with days of listings per channel. The Flicknexs cloud playout scheduler holds the schedule that drives each channel, and the apps present the channel list, but a multi-day guide grid of the kind set-top boxes show is not offered. Plan the channel list and the now-playing view as the primary navigation.

Included

A worked example: a pay-television operator launches its own streaming platform

One realistic operator, one plan, one month of cost.

01

Picture a pay-television operator in the region with twenty channels it already programs, a film library it licenses for a defined list of countries, and subscribers who are canceling the satellite box for apps. It wants one premium, ad-free service: the twenty channels live, the film library on demand, new releases as rentals before they enter the plan, an interface in Arabic and English, and an app on every television its subscribers own.

02

The operator picks F4 Enterprise because the television apps decide whether satellite households follow. F4 Enterprise includes 2 TB of storage and 20 TB of bandwidth monthly and adds dedicated support to everything in F3; Samsung, LG, Roku and Apple TV apps are add-ons on any plan. See our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. Twenty channels sit inside the channel count our pricing page footnote allows, the library fits within the storage figure at 1080p, and the monthly bandwidth carries a launch audience in the tens of thousands each evening. The fee is flat, with no commission on revenue according to our pricing page.

03

Setup takes the operator's digital team three weeks. Channel schedules move into the cloud playout scheduler with empty ad tags; the library is uploaded with Arabic and English WebVTT files; the newest films carry rental windows; every title carries the allow list from its license. Both interface languages are checked on the television. After launch, the subscription revenue report by month, the device breakdown and the watch-hours report tell the operator how many satellite households have crossed over.

Pre-launch checklist for a premium live-plus-library platform

Run each line on a television and a phone, in both languages, with a real card, before the announcement.

  • Open every app in Arabic and in English and read the channel list, the player and the checkout in each.
  • Translate every license territory into ISO 3166-1 codes and match each per-title allow list to its contract.
  • Test one restricted film from a blocked country with a colleague abroad and confirm the refusal message appears.
  • Start every linear channel from the cloud playout scheduler and confirm each plays on the television app.
  • Confirm the channel count in the scheduler sits inside the allowance our pricing page footnote lists for your plan.
  • Rent a new-release film with a real card, confirm access ends when the window expires, then switch it to subscription.
  • Switch subtitles between Arabic and English on the television app during a film and confirm both tracks load.
  • Start a film on the phone, stop it, and confirm it resumes on the television under the same account.
  • Subscribe on the web with a real card, then cancel and confirm the channels and the library lock together.
  • Open analytics after the test week and confirm device breakdown and watch-hours per title are recorded.

Devices and monetization for an OSN+-style platform

Which apps a premium regional service needs, how the subscription earns, and the companion pages named in words.

01

A premium service is judged on the television. F4 Enterprise lists Apple TV, Roku, LG and Samsung TV as ready alongside the Android TV and Fire TV apps, and on any lower plan those four are add-ons priced per app according to our pricing page. The Android and iOS apps carry viewing away from home, and the web player on every plan is where subscriptions are usually bought, because card checkout on the web avoids the store fee.

02

Revenue comes from the subscription and from rentals on new releases. The video paywall page explains rental windows, view counts and the switch from rental to subscription; the payment gateways page covers the 96 gateway integrations including gateways that serve the region; the cloud playout solution page explains how channels are built from the library. The Apple TV app page and the Samsung Tizen app page describe the add-on television builds.

03

Two companion pages belong with this one. The streaming platform like Shahid page covers the free-with-ads version of the regional model, drama first and television second, and the streaming platform like Hulu page covers the general live-plus-library service outside the region. Read the Shahid page if you intend to run a free tier beside the premium one.

Plan Availability

Which plan includes an OSN+-style platform

01

Standard layers

Cloud playout channels up to the plan count, subscription plans, rental windows, the Arabic and English interface, subtitles and geo-fencing are part of every plan. F2 Super includes 300 GB of storage and 20 TB of bandwidth yearly, and adds native Android and iOS mobile apps; see our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. That plan suits a phone-first pilot with a small group of subscribers.

02

Pricing & billing

F3 Premium includes 1 TB of storage and 10 TB of bandwidth monthly, and adds Android TV and Fire TV apps; see our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. Take it when Android TV and Fire TV cover your households. F4 Enterprise includes 2 TB of storage and 20 TB of bandwidth monthly and adds dedicated support to everything in F3; Samsung, LG, Roku and Apple TV apps are add-ons on any plan. See our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. This is the plan a pay-television operator launches on, because the four add-on television apps are listed as ready. TV apps are available as add-ons on any plan, allowing you to expand your reach to more devices; see our pricing page for current plan and pricing details.

03

Annual savings

Plans are flat fees and Flicknexs takes no commission on your revenue; payment-gateway fees are between you and your gateway. See our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. Yearly billing on F1 to F4 costs less per month than monthly billing; see our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. An operator moving a subscriber base online usually takes annual billing from the start.

Next Steps

What to do next

01

Already on Flicknexs

If you already run Flicknexs, create one linear channel from five library titles in the cloud playout scheduler with the ad tag empty, switch the interface to Arabic, and open the channel on the television app. Then set a rental window on one film and rent it with a test card. That two-hour test shows the premium model on the screen that matters before any license is signed.

02

Choosing a platform

If you are choosing a platform, bring your channel list, your film windows and your territory schedule to the demo call. Ask to see ten channels running from the scheduler, a rental expiring, the interface in both languages on a television, and a blocked country being refused. Ask which plan sentence matches the television apps your subscribers own, and raise any DRM clause in your licenses.

03

Before a rights call

Read the streaming platform like Shahid page next if you plan a free tier beside the premium one. The cloud playout solution page explains how channels are built from the library, the video paywall page explains rental windows, and the Apple TV app and Samsung Tizen app pages describe the add-on television builds a premium service depends on.

"I would like to thank Rajeev for his effort and collaboration from our initial meeting to the platform development stage. We were in search of a white label OTT platform for our brand, and Flicknexs provided us with everything we needed to know right from the beginning of the process. They mentioned that they are open to all kinds of customization and integration when we want to integrate different partners into the OTT Platform. Everything went smoothly for us in all stages. Their collaboration and platform methods are very consistent. What I like best about Flicknexs is that they provide very quick and accurate responses to every question. Their response times for taking action are very fast. They seek solutions to all kinds of real industry problems and provide our company’s needs to the platform in the most accurate way. The software interface is quite easy to use and multifunctional. So far, we haven’t encountered any drawbacks. Our platform was quickly soft-launched, and once we go live with the apps, our process will be complete. We wanted to transfer our bootcamp videos, which currently operate on a pay-per-view model on our existing website, to the OTT platform. This way, we aim to provide our customers with a better experience through multi-functional memberships and purchasing models than other platforms."

"We've been working with FLICKNEXS, and I've got to say, they're really good. Their platform has heaps of features (150 or so, they reckon), and it's awesome for streaming – works a treat on any gadget you've got. Big shoutout to Rajeev from their end. Top bloke. He's given us some solid advice and even sorted us out with a coder to help in the first month. Champion effort. Early days yet, but I reckon we're on to a winner with FLICKNEXS. If you're looking to stream your stuff and want the real deal, give 'em a bell. Top-notch."

"Phase 1 of our release has been seamless. From initial enquiry with Rajeev through to hand-holding all the way from Manoj and his support team. In less than two months we have developed and published on Android , Ios and Amazon Fire , with Android TV publishing imminent. We are now moving onto Phase 2, adding Samsung, Roku and LG into the mix. We already run a successful OTT platform on another service; and FLICKNEXS has so far proved to be a good alternative"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about an OSN+-style platform on Flicknexs.

The realistic plan for a premium television-first service is the one that lists the four television apps as ready. F4 Enterprise includes 2 TB of storage and 20 TB of bandwidth monthly and adds dedicated support to everything in F3; Samsung, LG, Roku and Apple TV apps are add-ons on any plan. See our pricing page for current plan and pricing details.

Yes. The cloud playout scheduler builds linear M3U8 channels from your library, up to the channel count our pricing page footnote allows per plan, and the apps show those channels beside the on-demand films and series under the same subscription plan.

Yes. The viewer interface ships in five languages including Arabic and English, selectable per viewer, and WebVTT subtitle files upload per film and per episode in Arabic, English and other languages for the player selector. Check the right-to-left layout of your theme on a trial account before launch.

Yes. Ad tags and server-side ad insertion are settings you leave empty on each channel, and the on-demand library carries no ads unless you configure them. The subscription plan then carries the whole business, which is the premium model.

Yes. Mark the film as pay-per-view with a rental window that has a start, an expiry and a view count, then change its access rule to subscription when the window closes. The video paywall page documents each field.

Yes. Geo-fencing works platform-wide and per video, series and audio item, with a block or allow list and the viewer country taken from an IP lookup at playback. A film licensed for the Gulf gets a Gulf allow list and a viewer elsewhere sees a refusal.

Android TV and Fire TV arrive on F3 Premium. TV apps are available as add-ons on any plan, allowing you to expand your reach to more devices; see our pricing page for current plan and pricing details. On F4 Enterprise those four are listed as ready according to our pricing page.

DRM is not built into the platform code. It is arranged through the delivery layer on request as part of an enterprise plan. What exists in code is a player logo watermark overlay, signed URLs, geo-fencing and per-title access rules. Raise the clause before signing a license.

Not inside one stream. Flicknexs plays a single AAC audio track per title, so a dubbed version is published as its own title tagged with its audio language and shelved beside the subtitled original.

No. The cloud playout scheduler holds the schedule that drives each channel and the apps present the channel list, but a multi-day guide grid of the kind set-top boxes show is not offered. Plan the channel list and the now-playing view as the primary navigation.

No. Films stream over adaptive HLS to the web player and the apps, and offline download is not offered. State it in the app description so it does not surface as a refund request during travel seasons.

Yes, per account. A film stopped on the phone resumes on the television under the same login. It is recorded per account rather than per profile, so a household sharing one login shares one resume position on the same title.
