Free embed hosts frequently inject their own ads and may change domains. For production libraries prefer managed CDN / DRM plugins. You still need legal content rights.

Setup guide

Install

/admin/streaming-providers → install VidLink.

Ensure TMDB ids

Catalog titles and episodes need valid TMDB identifiers for templates to resolve.

Attach the source

Title → Sources → add this embed (or set provider priority if your workflow auto-offers installed embeds).

Verify playback

Play as a viewer and check host availability / ad behavior.

Production guidance

Install multiple embeds only as demos / failover experiments.
Prefer Demo HLS for clean player tests.
Prefer Mux / Bunny / Cloudflare Stream / VdoCipher for real catalogs.

FAQ

Black screen / host down

Switch to another TMDB embed or a managed CDN source.

Lots of ads in the player

Expected on many free hosts — not Streamly ads.
