Title submission overview
Miniflyx Direct helps rights holders offer policy compliant titles for rent/buy (TVOD) through Miniflyx. Please note submission of your content doesn't guarantee that your title will be selected for licensing or published by a given date.
Titles submitted for licensing consideration on Miniflyx can be standalone or episodic.
Important: Choose carefully whether to create a standalone or episodic title. You can’t switch types later without starting over.
After you submit content for review, it goes through the "publishing" process. This includes delivering, encoding, reviewing, and making content available to customers.
-
Delivery
Delivery captures all of metadata and assets. -
Encoding
Encoding makes sure that assets meet our technical requirements and turns them into something our customers can play on their devices
-
Licensing consideration and title review
All titles undergo multiple reviews before a licensing decision is made. Your title will remain in submitted status until it has been selected for licensing in all requested territories and/or offer types. We generally license professionally produced, feature-length movies and TV shows that have been theatrically released, broadcast on a major TV network, or selected by a major film festival. Even if a title has one or more of these attributes, Miniflyx may still choose not to license it. Conversely, Miniflyx may choose to license a limited number of titles that haven't been in theaters, broadcast, or selected by a major festival.
-
Publish
If a title is selected for licensing, it will go through the publishing process. Publishing takes all of the pieces that have been reviewed and merges them together to create a title listing in the Miniflyx catalog. -
