KVS Features

A great video project starts with an idea. KVS gives you everything you need to bring it to life.

Self-Hosted Video Platform for Any Project

KVS gives you full control over your video website and its development.

KVS is installed on your own server, so your website, content, database and server always remain under your control. You decide where to host your project, how to manage it and who can access its data.

KVS can be used for almost any type of video project: free video sites, membership and subscription platforms, VOD and pay-per-view services, online cinemas and streaming platforms, educational websites, corporate video portals, video blogs, creator websites, niche projects and website networks.

As a self-hosted platform, KVS lets you develop your project in any direction. You can use its built-in features, customize the design and functionality, add your own improvements or connect external services. Your project is not limited by the rules of a closed SaaS platform.

You also decide how to keep your project up to date. You can easily install new KVS versions to get new features and support for modern technologies, or continue developing your existing setup in your own way. Since everything works on your server, the choice is always yours.

KVS is suitable for projects of any size. You can start with one server and, as your website grows, add dedicated storage and video conversion servers, as well as CDN services.

  • Your website, server, content and data remain under your control
  • No dependence on the rules or limits of a closed SaaS platform
  • Suitable for almost any video project: video blogs, free and paid websites, subscription platforms, VOD services, online cinemas, educational and corporate projects
  • Freedom to customize the design and functionality
  • Ability to add your own features and connect external services
  • Easy installation of new KVS versions and updates
  • Your own choice of providers for hosting, storage, CDN and other services
  • Full freedom to choose how your project works and develops
  • Full control over monetization, pricing and project policies

Content Management and Categorization

Manage every type of content and keep even a large media library easy to navigate.

KVS gives you flexible control over videos, photo albums and posts throughout their lifecycle. Edit individual items or update thousands at once, manage publication statuses and schedules, connect related materials and add custom fields for the data your project needs.

Organize content with categories, tags, models, sponsors and channels. Categories, models, sponsors and channels can each have their own groups, while playlists provide another convenient way to create curated selections. Automatic categorization and flexible filters keep the library structured and help visitors quickly find relevant content.

  • Links between videos, photo albums and posts
  • Bulk editing across selected items or the entire library
  • Publication statuses, scheduled dates and easy video reposting
  • Categories, models, sponsors and channels with their own groups, plus flexible tagging
  • Detailed profiles, search and custom metadata for models, sponsors and channels
  • Playlists for curated content selections
  • Option to use series instead of channels for online cinemas
  • Automatic category and model selection
  • Advanced search and flexible filters by multiple criteria

Content Import, Feeds and Grabbers

Populate and update your catalog automatically from files, feeds and supported websites.

KVS can import large content collections from local files, URLs, FTP uploads and CSV files of any structure. Imported videos can be converted into configured formats or stored as is without re-encoding. Flexible field mapping, data validation and duplicate checks help you bring content into the system cleanly and with minimal manual work.

Built-in grabbers can download videos in the selected quality or add embed codes without downloading the media files. They can process individual videos or complete listings, including results for specified search queries, manually or on autopilot. Import and export feeds automate ongoing data exchange, while proxy support, execution windows and task limits keep continuous imports predictable even on busy projects.

  • Multi-threaded import for large content batches
  • Flexible CSV import with any column structure and field mapping
  • Local files, URLs and FTP uploads with optional trimming, conversion or save-as-is processing
  • Grabbers for dozens of popular tube sites plus a universal grabber for websites supported by yt-dlp
  • Quality and format selection for video downloads, or embed-code import without downloading media files
  • Complete listing and search-result parsing manually or on autopilot, with schedules and proxy support
  • All available metadata, including titles, descriptions, duration, categorization, ratings and views
  • Import and export feeds with RSS, CSV, XML, JSON and KVS support
  • Automated feed workflows with flexible filtering, scheduled updates and duplicate checks

Video Processing and Conversion

Turn source videos into ready-to-stream formats with a flexible, fully controlled workflow.

The KVS conversion engine handles the complete processing workflow, from source preparation to video conversion and final media files. Create multiple resolutions and codecs for different devices, or keep suitable source files as they are to save processing time.

Flexible settings let you create preview clips and overview trailers from different parts of a video, generate screenshots, embed static or animated watermarks directly into video files and add video intros or outros to the output files. Format groups and conditional rules allow different video types to follow different workflows. Every processing stage is logged, priorities and load can be controlled, and existing content can be reprocessed whenever formats, quality requirements or branding change.

  • H.264, H.265 / HEVC and AV1 video codecs
  • Multiple resolutions from mobile formats to HD, 4K and 8K
  • Format groups and automatic rules for vertical, short and long videos
  • Source preprocessing and post-processing, save-as-is mode and reprocessing at any time
  • Preview clips and overview trailers generated from configurable segments across different parts of a video
  • Overview and timeline screenshots in JPG, WebP and AVIF, with cropping, black-bar removal and vertical layouts
  • Static and animated watermarks embedded directly into video files
  • Embedded video intros and outros — pre-roll and post-roll clips added directly to output files
  • Task priorities, load control and detailed processing logs

KVS Conversion Cloud

Process any workload on demand without buying or maintaining additional conversion hardware.

KVS Conversion Cloud is fully integrated into the KVS workflow. It can download source files, convert videos, create trailers and screenshots, and upload finished results directly to destination storage without routing every file through the main server.

Use H.264, H.265 or AV1 from SD to 8K, pay only for actual processing and quickly handle sudden or recurring workload peaks. Quality presets, smart bitrate selection and daily spending limits make performance and costs easy to control. Modern codec strategies can provide up to 45% lower video traffic and, in some configurations, up to 40% lower storage usage.

The cloud also includes NSFW / SFW detection that can classify videos and find safe thumbnails and preview fragments for age-verification flows. Detection of content involving underage persons is planned for an upcoming KVS Cloud update.

  • Cloud video conversion, trailers and screenshots
  • H.264, H.265 / HEVC and AV1 processing from SD and HD to 4K and 8K
  • Direct source download and result upload to destination storage
  • Pay-as-you-go pricing with no charge for idle capacity
  • Fast scaling for peak workloads without buying or maintaining conversion hardware
  • Quality presets and dynamic bitrate selection

AI Tools and Content Moderation

Prepare, classify and review content faster while keeping human control over every decision.

The GPT Text Processor can rewrite titles, generate descriptions, translate content and create unique text variants for videos, albums, categories, tags and satellites. AI-assisted recognition can also help identify models and categories from visual content.

When KVS Conversion Cloud is used, its NSFW / SFW detector can classify videos and find safe thumbnails and preview fragments. All other moderation capabilities—including review queues, possible duplicate detection, copyright checks, spam protection and user-report workflows—are available without KVS Conversion Cloud. Administrators retain the final decision and can combine automation with manual review.

  • GPT-powered title rewriting and description generation
  • AI translation of videos, albums, categories and tags
  • Synonymization and unique text variants for satellites
  • AI-assisted model and category recognition from images
  • NSFW / SFW video classification through KVS Conversion Cloud
  • Safe thumbnail and preview-fragment detection through KVS Conversion Cloud
  • Review queues, administrator flags and DigiRegs copyright checks
  • Similar-video detection for easier duplicate review
  • Anti-spam rules for comments, messages and feedback

Storage, CDN and Multi-Server Infrastructure

Build the infrastructure you need today and expand it as traffic and content grow.

Store content locally, on remote servers, in Amazon S3 or other S3-compatible storage, and deliver it through any CDN provider. Combine servers into groups to balance traffic, control geography and use different providers where they are most cost-effective. Set separate delivery-speed limits for individual servers, countries and user types.

As the project grows, you can add dedicated storage and conversion servers, process videos in parallel, move content between storage locations and keep separate backup copies. KVS coordinates the entire infrastructure while leaving you free to choose the hardware and service providers behind it.

Protected video delivery prevents hotlinking and unauthorized access while keeping video files available to verified search-engine crawlers for indexing. Continuous server monitoring helps detect availability, transfer and delivery errors before they become serious problems.

  • Local, remote and S3-compatible storage, including Amazon S3
  • Multiple storage and conversion servers with parallel video processing
  • Chunked uploads to Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible storage
  • Support for any CDN provider
  • Server groups for load balancing and cost optimization
  • Flexible delivery-speed limits for individual servers, countries and user types
  • Protection against hotlinking and unauthorized access with video-file access for verified search-engine crawlers
  • Continuous server monitoring with automatic error detection
  • Content migration and backup copies across storage locations, including non-public storage servers

Built-In HTML5 Video Player

Deliver a polished playback experience on phones, computers and TVs without a third-party player.

The KVS HTML5 player uses the full capabilities of the platform, including video formats, advertising, access rules, statistics and embed profiles. It supports H.264, H.265 and AV1 and automatically hides formats whose resolution or codec is not supported by the viewer’s device or browser, as well as formats unavailable in the viewer’s country.

Customize the design, branding, controls, playback speed, poster images, timeline previews, named episodes and related videos. The JavaScript API lets you respond to player events, run custom actions and adapt playback or interface logic to your project. More than 50 settings make the player suitable for very different websites and audiences.

The player supports VAST video ads from multiple providers and works closely with the KVS advertising and access-control modules. Obfuscated video-file links help protect content against grabbers and DMCA bots, while the built-in anti-adblock solution helps preserve advertising delivery.

  • Responsive HTML5 and CSS3 player with fullscreen playback and speed control
  • H.264, H.265 / HEVC and AV1 playback with automatic hiding of unsupported resolutions and codecs
  • Poster images and timeline previews, named episodes and related videos

Advertising and Ad Revenue

Run targeted advertising across the website and player with full control over delivery, performance and timing.

Create unlimited advertising spots and select the most relevant campaign by device, country, category, tag, browser, time of day or member type. Advertising profiles support minute-accurate schedules, rotations, fallback logic and up to 15 advertisers in one configuration.

The player works with VAST and VPAID providers as well as custom HTML advertising. Combine pre-roll, post-roll, pause, overlay and video-click advertising, pass contextual data to ad platforms and use built-in anti-adblock options to protect AVOD revenue. Detailed advertising statistics let you analyze performance across placements, campaigns, devices, countries, user types and player events.

Paid Access, Subscriptions and Tokenomics

Use memberships, pay-per-view, creator subscriptions and an internal token economy in one project.

KVS supports SVOD memberships, PPV / VOD purchases, trials, access codes, free and guest access, as well as paid subscriptions to individual users or channels. Combine multiple access levels and decide which content, video formats and website sections are available to each audience. Built-in premium-account sharing protection supports different detection and blocking scenarios—from automatic temporary bans with self-service unblocking by email to permanent bans that only an administrator can remove.

KVS supports a wide range of billing providers. Any third-party billing provider can be easily connected through a custom PHP script, and the KVS support team can always provide an integration example to use as a starting point.

Built-in tokenomics lets users buy, earn, spend and receive tokens. Reward activity, sell content and subscriptions, enable gifts and paid likes, generate creator payouts and keep a configurable platform share.

  • Premium memberships and flexible access levels with recurring payments, trials, access codes and free, guest or paid access
  • SVOD subscriptions to individual users and channels
  • PPV / VOD access to individual videos and photo albums

Community and User-Generated Content

Build an active community where members publish content, create collections, communicate and return.

Members can create profiles, upload and manage videos or photo albums, build their own channels and organize content into playlists and favorite groups. Any user-generated content can be public, visible only to friends or completely private. The same privacy options are available for playlists: members can create public collections, personal playlists visible only to themselves or playlists shared exclusively with friends.

Comments, ratings, votes, friends, internal messages, profile walls and activity feeds encourage communication and give members reasons to return. Users can subscribe to updates from other users, channels, playlists, models and sponsors. Administrators can bring members back to the website with bulk email and internal-message campaigns.

Configurable token rewards let you encourage uploads, comments, ratings, regular participation and other valuable actions. Flexible registration, Single Sign-On, privacy settings and member permissions help adapt the community to the rules and business model of your project.

  • User uploads and management of videos and photo albums
  • Public, friends-only or completely private content for every member
  • Public, personal and friends-only playlists, plus multiple favorite groups
  • Member channels with configurable publishing permissions
  • Comments, ratings, votes and content reports
  • Friends, internal messages, profile walls and activity feeds
  • Subscriptions to updates from users, channels, playlists, models and sponsors
  • Bulk email and internal-message campaigns for communicating with members
  • Token rewards for configured actions and activity on the website
  • Single Sign-On and flexible privacy controls with self-service profile deletion

Website Builder, Themes and Customization

Build any video website with configurable themes, templates and engine blocks—without modifying PHP code.

KVS uses a block-based display engine that lets you create pages and combine videos, photo albums, posts, users and catalog elements in virtually any structure. More than 50 website blocks and over 1,000 parameters provide detailed control over content, navigation, pagination, sorting and the behavior of individual page elements.

Customization is available at several levels. Every theme includes many simple settings for everyday changes. More advanced projects can use the extensive settings of the display engine and its individual blocks. For complete design freedom, all theme templates and styles are open for modification: you can edit HTML templates directly from the administration panel and make any necessary changes to CSS.

You can build completely different websites through templates and engine blocks without changing the KVS PHP code. You do not need a PHP developer to create a custom theme—an HTML/CSS developer can handle the complete presentation layer. A new theme can be installed in just a few clicks and easily transferred from one KVS project to another. Keeping themes separate from the platform core simplifies development, improves reliability and security, and lets you install new KVS versions without overwriting custom design changes or maintaining modified PHP files.

Two-level caching improves performance and can be configured separately for complete pages and individual blocks. Built-in statistics show the performance of every page and block, while automatic overload protection adjusts engine parameters when server load increases. The display engine also supports multilingual websites and content, including a dedicated interface for translators.

  • Pages configured from the administration panel using more than 50 blocks and over 1,000 parameters
  • Three levels of customization: simple theme settings, advanced display-engine options and fully open HTML and CSS templates
  • Template editing from the administration panel for complete control over page structure and design
  • No PHP developer required for a custom theme—an HTML/CSS developer is all you need
  • Theme installation in just a few clicks and easy transfer between KVS projects
  • Global blocks, AJAX pagination and sorting with flexible list behavior
  • Theme customizations separated from the KVS core for easier development, reliable operation and safer updates
  • Two-level caching with separate settings for complete pages and individual blocks
  • Performance statistics for every page and website block
  • Automatic overload protection that adjusts display-engine parameters when server load increases
  • Multilingual websites and content with a dedicated interface for translators

Multi-Language Websites

Run multiple language versions of the interface, content and URLs on one website.

KVS supports multiple language versions of the website interface and content on one website without duplicating the media catalog. Interface texts, content and catalog data can be localized independently for every language. Adding a new language to a theme is simple: translate one text localization file and connect it to the theme.

Language versions can be organized in three different ways: within one domain, on language-specific subdomains or in separate language directories. KVS provides everything needed for multilingual SEO so that every language version can be properly presented to search engines.

For each language, you can configure separate URL directories, titles and descriptions for videos, photo albums, posts, models, sponsors, channels, categories, tags and other content or catalog elements.

The translator interface offers detailed control over the working environment. Translators can translate existing texts or write completely new titles and descriptions, choose which information to display and view videos and screenshots for additional context. All this information can be available even before the content appears on the website. The AI translation plugin can automatically prepare translations, while untranslated content can remain visible in the default language until its translation is ready.

  • Multiple language versions on one website without duplicating the media catalog
  • Three language-version structures: within one domain, on subdomains or in language directories
  • Everything needed for multilingual SEO and correct indexing of every language version
  • The default theme includes translations for 10 major languages immediately after installation
  • One text localization file for a new theme language—simply translate it and connect it to the theme
  • Localized URL directories, titles and descriptions for videos, photo albums, posts, models, sponsors, channels, categories, tags and other catalog elements
  • Automatic content translation with the AI plugin
  • Default-language fallback for content that has not yet been translated
  • Flexible translator interface with configurable information display
  • Videos and screenshots available to translators for understanding the content context

SEO and Search Engine Indexing

Give search engines clear, stable and complete information about every video and content page.

KVS automatically generates a complete Sitemap with all required information about website pages, videos and photo albums. Structured JSON-LD data, stable links to video files and preview images, and special handling for Google, Bing and Yandex bots help search engines correctly discover and index the content without weakening protection for regular visitors.

Configure URL structures, redirects, indexing rules, titles, descriptions and text blocks for pages, categories, models, sponsors, channels and tags. KVS can also display search queries entered by users, while the text synonymization plugin helps create alternative text variants.

  • Automatically generated Sitemap with complete information about website pages, videos and photo albums
  • JSON-LD structured data with direct video-file and preview-image information
  • Stable crawlable links with validation of Google, Bing and Yandex bots
  • Titles, descriptions and texts for pages and catalog elements
  • Custom URL structures with native-language characters and flexible transliteration
  • Canonical URLs, robots controls and correct 301 and 404 responses
  • Display of user search queries on the website
  • Text synonymization plugin for creating alternative text variants
  • Separate SEO-bot statistics and bot-aware page caching

Website Networks and Satellites

Build KVS satellites with shared content and users, or connect KVS video management to websites running on other platforms.

The first approach is to create full KVS satellites connected to the main database and media storage. Satellites share not only videos and other content but also one common user database. Every satellite can still have its own domain, theme, audience, traffic statistics and publishing rules without duplicating video files or repeatedly managing the same data.

A satellite can use the entire shared catalog or only selected parts of the main database—for example, content from specific categories, channels, models, sponsors or other catalog elements. Satellites can display localized versions of content or use their own sets of titles and descriptions, even in the same language. Individual categorization and publication delays make it possible to create niche, regional and SEO-focused websites from one content base.

The second approach is designed for projects that already have a website running on WordPress or another CMS. KVS can handle video management, storage, the player and advertising, while the existing website displays KVS videos through configurable embed profiles or receives data through export feeds. The WordPress plugin can automate video publication without moving the website to another platform.

  • Full KVS satellites connected to the main database and media storage
  • One shared user database across the satellite network
  • Independent domains, themes and traffic statistics for every satellite
  • The entire catalog or selected parts of it based on categories, channels, models, sponsors and other catalog elements
  • Localized content or alternative sets of titles and descriptions for individual satellites
  • Individual categorization and publication delays for niche, regional and SEO-focused websites
  • Centralized management without duplicating media files, users or routine work
  • KVS video and advertising management for existing websites running on WordPress or any other CMS
  • Individual embed profiles and export feeds for different external websites
  • WordPress plugin for automated publication of KVS videos

Analytics and Cost Control

Understand traffic, content, player and memberzone performance while keeping infrastructure and monetization costs under control.

KVS provides configurable dashboards, hourly charts and multi-dimensional reports for incoming traffic, countries, referrers, browsers and devices—including mobile phones, tablets and TVs. Traffic reports can separate known SEO bots and include or exclude selected countries. Combine several dimensions in one report, analyze content sources and embed usage, and monitor important referrers separately.

The player provides detailed statistics for all events, including playback activity, format and codec support, visitor devices, errors and AdBlock usage. A two-level CTR rotator first identifies the most clickable screenshots for each video and then compares video performance across the catalog, helping the website automatically prioritize the content and thumbnails that attract the most clicks.

Detailed memberzone analytics cover transactions, user activity, logins, content views, purchases, sales, gifts, token awards and transaction IPs. File-size, resolution, bitrate and codec-support reports help estimate storage and bandwidth costs, while delivery statistics, overload-protection data and cleanup controls provide the operational context needed for informed decisions.

  • Configurable dashboards with hourly charts and daily comparisons
  • Incoming traffic by country, referrer, browser and device, including mobile phones, tablets and TVs, with separate SEO-bot data and configurable country exclusions
  • Multi-dimensional reports combining several filters, content sources and traffic dimensions
  • Detailed statistics for all player events, supported formats and codecs, devices, errors and AdBlock usage
  • Two-level video and screenshot CTR rotator that identifies and automatically prioritizes the best-performing content and thumbnails
  • Video, photo-album, search-query and embed-usage statistics
  • Memberzone analytics, including user activity, logins, content views, purchases, sales, gifts, awards and transaction IPs
  • File-size, resolution, bitrate and codec-support analysis for estimating storage and bandwidth costs
  • Content delivery, overload-protection and statistics-cleanup controls

Security, Content Protection and Age Verification

Protect your platform, media files and users while meeting country-specific access requirements.

KVS protects video and photo delivery with encrypted or expiring links, anti-hotlink rules, domain controls and configurable access limits across local, remote and CDN storage. Search bots can receive stable validated links without exposing the same access path to ordinary scrapers.

GEO blocking and AgeVerif.com integration let you apply different rules by country, state, domain or referrer. For age-restricted content, the player can show only an approved safe fragment until age verification is completed.

KVS continuously monitors all system files, including PHP code, templates, CSS and other project files. Every detected change is logged and generates a warning, helping you quickly identify unauthorized modifications and protect the website against hacking. Automatic snapshots of changed files make it easy to restore an earlier version when necessary.

Any user-generated content can follow flexible moderation rules before appearing on the website. Videos, photo albums, comments and other user submissions can be held for review, while trusted member groups can use separate rules and publish without standard moderation when permitted.

  • Encrypted and time-limited links with anti-hotlink protection
  • IP, speed and content-access limits
  • Embed-domain blacklists and referrer validation
  • Protected but crawlable links for verified search bots
  • Website GEO blocking with country-specific behavior
  • Administrator GEO emulation for testing country-specific settings
  • AgeVerif.com integration by country, state, domain and referrer
  • Safe-preview-only playback for age-restricted content until verification is completed
  • CAPTCHA and hardened account, session and template security
  • Flexible pre-publication moderation for videos, photo albums, comments and other user submissions
  • Trusted member groups with separate moderation and publishing rules
  • Continuous monitoring of PHP code, templates, CSS and other system files with warnings and complete change logging
  • Automatic snapshots of changed files for quickly restoring earlier versions

Administration and Workflow Automation

Keep daily operations fast, controlled and predictable as your team and content volume grow.

The responsive KVS admin panel provides saved grid presets, powerful filters, customizable columns, bulk actions and personal layout settings. Granular administrator permissions, content assignment, safety limits and detailed activity statistics let every employee work within clearly defined responsibilities while giving project owners full control over team activity.

KVS includes more than 20 free plugins for additional content-management, automation and maintenance tasks. Plugins, background tasks, maintenance operations and backups can run automatically on schedule and be monitored from one place. Priorities, retries, administrator flags and configurable email alerts help the team handle routine work consistently and react quickly when attention is required.

  • Responsive admin panel with light and dark modes and personal interface settings
  • Saved grid presets, filters, columns and sorting for different administrative tasks
  • Mass selection, bulk actions and selected-data export
  • Granular administrator permissions and safety limits for editing, mass actions, comments and deletion

  • Configurable email notifications and user-feedback alerts
  • Centralized system settings and detailed action logs

Performance, Reliability and Monitoring

Keep your website fast and stable—even with a large content library and heavy traffic.

Two-level page and block caching, optimized content lists and automatic protection against increased server load allow the website to operate reliably even under heavy traffic. Caching can be configured separately for individual pages and blocks. Cache statistics make its usage easy to monitor, while intelligent cleanup removes outdated cache files, prevents unnecessary data from accumulating on the server and helps maintain performance.

Background processes, including video conversion and content import, can monitor the current server load, pause during load peaks and run according to a configured schedule.

For large databases, KVS can optionally use Manticore Search instead of processing search queries through MySQL/MariaDB. This reduces load on the main database, speeds up search, improves the relevance of results and can also be used to calculate related videos.

The Audit plugin can quickly perform a comprehensive project review, checking its key functionality, installation integrity, critical settings, background processes, media files, storage servers and video delivery, and then provide recommendations for resolving detected problems. Detailed logs record events and processes throughout the system, while error reports and monitoring help locate broken files, unhealthy services and performance bottlenecks before they affect visitors.

  • Two-level page and block caching with usage statistics and intelligent cleanup of outdated cache files
  • Automatic protection during periods of increased server load and optimized database operations
  • Load-aware background processes, including video conversion and import, with pausing during load peaks and scheduled execution
  • Optional Manticore Search integration to reduce MySQL/MariaDB load, accelerate search, improve relevance and calculate related videos
  • Comprehensive Audit plugin for quickly checking project functionality and receiving recommendations for resolving detected problems
  • Installation-integrity and critical-setting checks
  • Media-file availability checks across every storage system
  • Player, video-delivery and storage-server monitoring with detailed debug statistics
  • Detailed logs of all system events and processes

Developer Tools and 100% PHP Source Code

Customize KVS without limits, keep full control of your project and remain independent.

KVS provides a transparent and extensible architecture for projects that need more than standard configuration. Frontend design and functionality can be safely customized through Smarty templates, custom modifiers and website blocks, while developers can create plugins, grabbers, billing integrations and other project-specific extensions.

100% of the PHP source code can be purchased for any KVS license at any time. With the full source code installed, ionCube Loader is not required: all PHP code is supplied unencoded and is available for inspection and modification. This gives you complete control over the project and the freedom to maintain and develop it independently of the KVS team. The source-code version can also run slightly faster, which may be especially valuable for large and high-load projects.

Developers can use the player JavaScript API, connect external search engines, edit Smarty templates and static files, inspect template variables and debug pages directly from the administration panel. Theme-level customization remains separated from the core, reducing problems during future updates.

KVS support is provided exclusively by programmers directly involved in developing the product. They know the system at code level and are always ready to offer advice on architecture, customization, performance, server configuration, integrations, migrations and any other project-related questions.

  • Purchase 100% of the PHP source code for any KVS license at any time
  • No ionCube Loader required with the complete unencoded PHP source code
  • Complete project control and independence from the KVS team for future maintenance and development
  • Slightly higher PHP performance, especially valuable for large and high-load projects
  • Smarty templates, custom modifiers and website blocks for project-specific design and logic
  • Plugins, custom grabbers and billing integrations
