Building Movie streaming website

I’m looking to build a movie streaming solution with secure playback, monetization options, and cross-device support. Has anyone used platforms like VPlayed? What are the pros and cons compared to building from scratch?

Yes, I’ve explored platforms like VPlayed for building a movie streaming app  for my client , and it’s a solid choice if you're looking for secure playback, monetization, and cross-device support without reinventing the wheel. Any platform have both pros and cons
✅ Pros of using VPlayed:
It is an End to end solution
It has 10 + monetization models
Security: Robust DRM integration and AES encryption help protect your content from piracy.
Scalability: Built for high traffic with global CDN support and adaptive bitrate streaming
Customization: It's fully white labeled and allows you to customize features, UI, and workflows.
⚠️ Cons compared to building from scratch:
Cost: While it saves development time, it comes at a higher upfront or licensing cost, especially for startups.
If you building  from Scratch:
It gives  you full control over infrastructure, features, and design.
But it requires managing transcoding, CDN, DRM, multi-device compatibility, etc., which means a longer development cycle and higher ongoing maintenance.
If you're prioritizing speed to market, scalability,  security, VPlayed or similar platforms are excellent choices. But if you have a strong tech team and a unique feature roadmap, building from scratch might be worth considering.
