Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the VidCore API integration.

Is the VidCore Video Streaming API really free?

Yes, our API is 100% free for developers. We utilize distributed peer networks and edge caching to keep server costs minimal. No API keys or credit cards required to start embedding.

Do I need an IMDB ID or TMDB ID?

VidCore strictly uses TMDB (The Movie Database) IDs for routing. You can easily find the ID for any movie or show in the URL of its TMDB official page.

How do I embed TV shows with seasons and episodes?

To embed a TV show, switch the endpoint from /movie/ to /tv/ and append the season and episode number. Example format: https://vidcore.org/embed/tv/{tmdb_id}/{season}/{episode}

Does the embedded player contain ads or popups?

No! VidCore is entirely ad-free. We do not inject banner ads, video commercials, or malicious popups into the player stream, ensuring a pristine user experience.

What video resolution and formats are supported?

VidCore streams support adaptive HLS resolution scaling from 480p up to crisp 4K HDR depending on the source media quality and viewer bandwidth.

Can I use VidCore in React, Next.js, Vue, or WordPress?

Absolutely. Because VidCore provides standard HTML5 iframe endpoints, it integrates seamlessly into React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Angular, WordPress custom HTML blocks, or plain HTML websites.

Are subtitles and multiple audio tracks available?

Yes, our player automatically aggregates and synchronizes subtitles in 30+ languages along with available dubbed audio tracks.

What is the uptime SLA for VidCore streaming infrastructure?

We maintain a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by globally distributed edge CDNs across 120+ PoPs to guarantee zero buffering.

Do I need to host video files on my own servers?

No. VidCore handles all storage, transcoding, encoding, and global delivery. You only need to embed our lightweight iframe tag.

Is CORS enabled for custom domains?

Yes, our endpoints feature fully open CORS headers so your web applications can load and interact with streams without browser restriction blocks.

How does autoplay behave on mobile devices?

Mobile browsers restrict unmuted autoplay. VidCore includes touch-friendly play overlays that comply with iOS Safari and Android Chrome autoplay guidelines.

Can I customize the player dimensions and responsive layout?

Yes, you can set width and height to 100% inside a responsive parent container with a 16:9 aspect ratio, exactly like our documentation example.

How do I report missing TMDB titles or broken streams?

Since streams are automatically scraped and aggregated from public third-party sources, missing items usually update automatically when available in our indexer.
