StreamVid – Video Streaming WordPress Theme

A theme for launching streaming platforms without relying on custom development

Building a site for movies, series or video on demand usually means integrating a player, a membership system, metadata import and content protection separately. StreamVid solves this from a single WordPress theme built on Elementor, designed for OTT platforms, live streaming and video catalogs with subscription-based access control.

The theme includes a complete paid membership system, native WooCommerce integration for selling subscriptions and digital products, and support for ad spaces, so monetization is covered from the initial installation.

Content Import from TMDB and YouTube

StreamVid comes with custom post types for movies, series, episodes, people (cast and crew) and videos, each with full metadata support. Importing from TMDB lets you pull in synopses, posters, cast and technical details for any title using a free API key: you can bulk import by filtering on year, genre or popularity, or search for specific titles, with episodes and seasons included automatically. Bulk importing videos from YouTube channels and playlists is also supported.

Playback, Memberships and Content Protection

• Flexible video player: global settings panel compatible with MP4, HLS (m3u8), YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny.net, Cloudflare Stream and embedded iframes.
• Live streaming: live broadcast management with content protection via signed URLs through Cloudflare Stream and Bunny.net.
• Access control: compatible with Paid Memberships Pro for creating subscription plans, restricting content by episode and enabling Pay-Per-View on individual titles.
• Built-in advertising: self-hosted ads, VAST server support and VMAP scheduling (pre-roll, mid-roll, post-roll), plus subtitles and captions.
• Full WooCommerce support: includes HPOS (Custom Order Tables) compatibility for selling memberships and digital products without additional plugins.

Design and Customization with Elementor

The entire site, including header and footer, is built with Elementor, allowing any template to be edited without touching code. The Redux Framework-based options panel covers general settings for logo and favicon, header and footer layout selection, unlimited colors for primary elements and buttons, typography with more than 800 Google fonts, and specific configuration for login, blog and shop pages. The site supports boxed or full-width layouts, mobile and unlimited sidebars, and control over the number of footer columns, with full RTL support for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew or Persian.

What Kind of Project StreamVid Fits

It's a suitable choice for movie and series streaming platforms, subscription-based OTT services, video-on-demand sites with pay-per-view, and channels combining free content with premium content. It also works as a foundation for projects already using TMDB as a data source that need to automate content entry loading instead of creating it manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key to import content from TMDB?

Yes. You'll need to get a free key from TMDB and enter it in the theme options. From there you can import using filters (year, genre, popularity) or search for specific titles by name.

Does StreamVid include the Android app?

No. The StreamVid Android app is a separate product with its own license, and it's not included with the theme, nor does it grant access to its code.

Can I charge for access to content?

Yes, through the integration with Paid Memberships Pro for subscription plans and episode-level content restriction, plus the option of pay-per-view for individual titles and selling products through WooCommerce.

Do I need to know how to code to customize the design?

No. Header, footer and all other templates are edited with Elementor via drag and drop, and the options panel lets you adjust colors, typography and layout without writing any code.

Can it be used for live streaming content?

Yes, StreamVid includes tools for managing live broadcasts and protecting content through signed URLs via Cloudflare Stream and Bunny.net.
