FAQ.
Short answers.
Questions buyers ask before and after installing.
01General
Does the item include any series or videos?
No. It contains no third-party video. npm run seed:sample generates placeholder series on your machine so you can try everything; remove them before launch. Your catalogue and its rights are yours (content rights).
Do I need to pay anything else?
Your own hosting, CDN, developer accounts and any providers you connect (Stripe, PayPal, AdMob, Firebase, AI providers). Reelora takes no fee from your sales.
Is a licence key or activation needed?
No. The code runs without any activation or call to the author.
Can I run it on shared or serverless hosting?
The server needs one long-running Node.js 22 process with a persistent disk (SQLite and media). A VPS or a container host with a volume works; serverless platforms do not, as shipped.
Does it work without ffmpeg?
Yes, if every episode uses an external HLS or MP4 address. Uploads, AI transcription and dubbing need ffmpeg.
02Money
Why is nothing for sale after I install?
Every money switch ships off. Create products in Console → Store and turn on Payments (and VIP if you sell passes).
Can the app link to my web checkout?
There is an operator switch per platform ("Store purchases + link to web checkout"). Whether you may use it depends on the App Store and Google Play rules for each country you serve; read store rules first.
Do coins expire?
No. Coins never expire, and VIP passes never renew by themselves.
Does Reelora pay creators?
No. It shows statements of purchased coins spent on each creator's series and their share; you pay creators outside the product.
Can I see how much I will earn?
No one can promise that. The revenue calculator does the arithmetic on your own assumptions; Console → Revenue shows realised revenue only.
03Apps
Which platforms does the app support?
iOS 15+ and Android 7+ (API 24+). The web player covers browsers.
Do I need Firebase?
Only for push notifications. Without the Firebase build values the app works and push stays off.
Why do I see test ads?
The package ships with Google's sample AdMob ids. Replace them with your own (how).
Can I change the name and colours without rebuilding?
The in-app name and the accent colour, yes: Console → Brand. The name under the icon, the bundle id and the icon need a new build.
