OVGuide launches new Video Streaming Platform

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OVGuide.com, a pioneer in online video guidance, has continued to morph with the changing landscape to deliver on its mission of providing a comprehensive solution for discovering and consuming online video. The company has been increasingly focused on bringing more ad supported video on demand (AVOD) content to its millions of users. OVGuide has accomplished this by offering its proprietary cross platform video streaming solution to content owners and distributors thus making it easier for them to bring a custom branded OTT service to their target audience. 

OVGuide developed its video technology, including data ingestion processes, API and cloud platform to power its own mobile applications, website and Roku apps. Offering this platform to its content partners was a natural progression. OVGuide's end-to-end online video streaming solution focuses on enabling small and mid-sized digital content distributors to bring their library of full length movies and TV shows to users in the form of a dedicated AVOD or SVOD OTT service.  In addition to this, OVGuide offers more personalized technical support and also immediately expose the partner's content to OVGuide's large cross platform O&O audience – across the Web, Mobile Web, iOS, Android, Roku and connected TVs.  OVGuide is currently powering the Roku application for WatchFreeFlix and FilmRise as well as the WatchFreeFlix.com website. Everything from sorting movies by genre to the playback of video content is powered by OVGuide's technology – including managing monetization for AVOD services. OVGuide also offers this same streaming service to content holders/publishers who choose to stream their content behind a subscription or transactional paywall.

Gary Delfiner, CEO of Digital Sylvia LLC, which owns WatchFreeFlix says: "Other than OVGuide, there are no one-stop-shop solutions for powering Movie Applications. They are the perfect hybrid of entertainment meeting technology. Their platform makes it very easy to upload new content and immediately make content available to viewers wherever they want to watch it."

As a direct result of their streaming services and audience, OVGuide just passed a milestone of offering over 10,000 movies and TV shows to viewers for free. That is among the largest library of titles on any AVOD service. OVGuide intends to double that number in 2015. OVGuide's discovery tools for Movies and TV shows allow users to sort through the thousands of movies by genre and then filter the results by all major services including Amazon Prime, iTunes, HBOGo, and more. OVGuide's tools enable users to optimize their content selection by allowing viewers to search across all their subscription services for the movies and TV shows they want to watch from one single location. This is especially important as household penetration of streaming products like Roku accelerate. OVGuide's ongoing commitment is to make the cluttered landscape of searching for content an easier place to navigate.
