StreamingExperiencesThatRetain.

Viewers judge a stream in the first few seconds and studios judge you by your rights protection. We build OTT apps that pair instant, adaptive playback with hardened DRM and discovery that surfaces the next thing worth watching.

ProblemsWeSolve

The friction points that quietly cap growth in entertainment, and how we engineer them away.

Buffering Drives Churn

A few seconds of spinning is all it takes for a viewer to close the app for good.

Piracy And DRM Gaps

Studios will not license premium content without hardened, multi-platform rights protection.

Fragmented Device Support

Phones, tablets, smart TVs, and consoles each demand their own player and playback quirks.

Weak Content Discovery

A deep catalog is useless when viewers cannot find something they want to watch.

Subscription Churn

Clumsy billing and thin engagement send hard-won subscribers straight to the cancel button.

WhatWeBuild

The products entertainment teams come to us for, from first MVP to a platform at scale.

OTT Streaming App

Mobile and web players with adaptive playback, offline downloads, and multi-profile support.

Smart TV & Console App

Native apps for Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and consoles that feel at home on the big screen.

Audio & Podcast Platform

On-demand and live audio with chaptering, resume, and background playback.

Recommendation Engine

Behavioral and content-based models that raise watch time and lower churn.

Subscription & Billing

Tiers, trials, and dunning across app stores and direct billing with clean upgrade paths.

Viewer Analytics Suite

Playback quality, engagement, and retention cohorts in one dashboard.

PlaybackThatNeverStutters.

Viewers abandon a stream after a few seconds of spinning, and studios will not license without hardened DRM. We tune adaptive HLS and MPEG-DASH ladders, edge caching, and multi-DRM key delivery across Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady so quality holds on any connection while rights stay locked.

WhyXephlo

The reason entertainment teams keep coming back isn't magic, it's a handful of things we refuse to cut corners on.

Domain-first, not template-first

We start from your sector's real constraints, not a generic boilerplate we bolt your logo onto.

Built to scale from day one

Architecture that holds up when your traffic, catalog or user base multiplies.

Compliance baked in

The standards your industry demands are designed in from the start, not patched later.

One accountable team

Strategy, design and engineering under one roof, no finger-pointing between vendors.

FEATURED BUILD

Nightwave, an OTT relaunch that cut buffering to near zero

A niche streamer was losing viewers to rebuffering and inconsistent quality across devices. We rebuilt the playback stack with tuned ABR ladders, edge caching, and multi-DRM, and rolled it out to mobile, web, and TV from a shared core.

Discuss a build like this

Playback quality was our single biggest churn driver, and Xephlo simply solved it. Watch time is up and the licensing conversations got a lot easier.
