Ministra PRO: January updates
.jpg)
Dry January is not just good for your health, but also your wallet. While it's difficult to say that Ministra PRO can somehow lower your cholesterol or make you lose weight, we can definitely do something to save you some money. To start with, we have re-added a few “saving money” features that were lost on the way towards making a better product:
1. HLS streams for Tizen and WebOS
Ministra PRO now has two built in players, Shaka and Native. While Shaka prefers DASH, Native plays HLS. If you receive HLS streams and don’t want to spend money on changing the format and streaming DASH, just let us know and we will turn on the native player for you.

2. Playback limit on all platforms
Who hasn’t fallen asleep at least once in front of a good movie ?! But this can cost you money if playback runs for hours… Instead, you can now set up a timer to stop playback if a customer does not interact with any applications. This could save you a few dollars on traffic, especially if you are in the OTT business.
3. Wowza is back
In addition to Flussonic, we have brought back Wowza. If you are using it for DVR, streaming, and transcoding, you can now migrate to Minsitra PRO and keep using Wowza.

And a few novelties that make PRO better:
4. NPVR
Recording every channel for 2 weeks and offering this as catch up TV is nice, but it might be quite expensive in terms of storage. With NPVR you can reduce the 2 weeks catch up and give the option to users to record the shows they want to. You can also set up different Tariff Plans with different recording hour limits. This might free up some of your hard disk drives.
5. Docker and Kubernetes
Ministra PRO requires a few services like MySQL, Elastic Search, and Redis amongst others to run at its full capacity. With the current architecture able to ensure high availability and reliability for over 3000 customers, the minimum number of physical servers can be as high as 9. However, by using Docker and Kubernetes we can put everything into one cluster and reduce the number of physical servers from 9 to 3. For smaller projects just one server can be enough.

All Content in One Service: Live TV, VoD, Radio, Archive, TimeShift, and EPG in Ministra PRO
A television service has long been more than just a list of channels. Viewers now want to watch live broadcasts, return to a missed program, pause a show, schedule recordings of individual episodes or an entire series using nPVR, or choose a movie from a catalog. At the same time, all these capabilities should feel like parts of a single media environment rather than separate systems.
Interactive TV Trends on Google TV: What to Know in 2027
When choosing a television platform for 2027, businesses need to assess more than picture quality and the app selection. Equally important considerations are how viewers will find content, what capabilities the operator will have, and how predictably the equipment will perform after updates.
How to Reduce Video Delivery Costs Without Compromising Quality: CDN, Edge Cache, and Multi-CDN
As an IPTV/OTT service’s audience grows, so do both revenue and video delivery costs. For an operator, this means additional terabytes of outbound traffic. For a hotel, it means greater pressure on its internet connection. And in the case of maritime transport, it means the video service has to compete with other applications for limited bandwidth.
