We are a freelance group. We are developing an OTT/VOD platform like Netflix.
The business model is...
We design the platform and resell them to other companies who want to start a Netflix-like company. We develop an OTT platform and resell it to businesses. For example, if you want to start a Netflix-like company and need a web platform, you can get it from us.
Since I have been using JellyFin for a couple of months, I thought about whether I could use the source code and make some changes to create an OTT platform from it (abiding by the license).
Since JellyFin contains many features such as live transcoding, movie metadata fetching, categorization, etc., we are thinking about using it and building our OTT platform on top of it. We would make changes such as fetching metadata from our source, redesigning the UI, etc.
But some people told us, "It is a personal media server for a group of people, not for a huge audience, so scaling is a doubt," "You need a lot of rework, instead of that design your own," etc.
So I need your inputs on it.
