IPTV Video-on-Demand (VOD) & Catchup TV

Discover our massive library of 179,000+ on-demand assets and learn how to use Replay TV to never miss your favorite live broadcasts.

What is IPTV Video-on-Demand (VOD) and How is it Structured?

Our **Video-on-Demand (VOD)** service allows you to stream movies, television box sets, and documentaries on your own schedule. Unlike live TV, which broadcasts feeds in real-time, VOD assets are stored as pre-recorded media files on our storage clusters. When you select a title inside your player's VOD library, the application sends a query to fetch the specific file directory, streaming it using standard H.264 or modern H.265 (HEVC) compression codecs. Our VOD database is updated automatically every week to include the latest theatrical releases and episodes, with multi-language audio tracks and subtitle whitelists included.

Understanding Catchup TV (Replay TV)

**Catchup TV** is a digital recording feature that allows you to replay live programs that have already aired. If you miss a live football match or a scheduled evening news broadcast, you do not have to wait for reruns. Our servers record and store channel feeds continuously for up to 7 days. Channels that support the Catchup feature are indicated by a clock or recorder icon inside your player's EPG guide. Simply scroll back in the grid schedules, select the program you missed, and press play.

Advantages of HEVC H.265 Encoding for On-Demand Content

High-definition movies (especially in 4K resolution) contain massive amounts of data. Standard H.264 compression requires high internet bandwidth, which can cause buffering on standard wireless connections. At strimoiptv, we encode our VOD library using **High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265)**. H.265 is a highly advanced video compression standard that delivers the same visual quality as H.264 but at 50% of the bitrate. This means you can stream 4K movies smoothly even if your local network connection speed is under 20 Mbps.

How to Select Subtitles and Dual-Audio Tracks

Most of our VOD library supports dual-audio tracks (e.g., English and French/Spanish) and subtitles. To enable them, launch the movie or series, wait for the built-in media player menu to appear, click on the **Audio/Subtitles settings** icon, and choose your preferred audio stream and subtitle file. If your player application does not render subtitles correctly, we recommend using external players like VLC or MX Player, which contain advanced rendering engines for custom SRT font files.

VOD & Catchup FAQ

Common questions regarding movie listings, recording limits, and audio languages.

Our server grids store catchup recordings for up to 7 days after the original broadcast. After 7 days, older recordings are deleted automatically to free up database space for incoming feeds.

Yes, we value user requests. If there is a specific movie, drama series, or documentary you want to watch that is currently missing from our VOD catalog, send your request to our support team on WhatsApp, and we will upload it during our weekly database updates.

No. VOD media is streamed directly from our cloud storage clusters, meaning the video files are not downloaded to your device storage. You only need enough space to install the player application itself.
