Clear answers before you build your launch.
Product, installation, content, ads, licensing and support questions in one place.
What is Video Site Suite?
It is a self-hosted PHP/MySQL video gallery application for adult publishers. It combines public pages, video management, embeds/uploads, imports, advertising controls, members, analytics, branding tools and licensing workflows.
Can I use embedded videos as well as my own uploads?
Yes. The product is designed to support embedded videos, external video sources and uploaded files. Uploaded content can use browser-captured thumbnails, manual thumbnails and optional FFmpeg tools where available.
Can I import from a source-page URL?
The Smart Importer can collect information from source pages that you are authorized to publish, such as title, description, thumbnail, public embed information and source URL. Results depend on each source page and its available metadata.
Can it import a gallery/search page in bulk?
Yes. The gallery importer is designed for smaller batches such as 12, 16 or 20 linked video pages, with a review step, duplicate skipping and logs.
Does the importer publish immediately?
Published is the intended default for an efficient approved-source workflow. Draft mode stays available for site owners who prefer a review step.
Can I sell ads directly?
Yes. The advertising module is designed for direct banner, modal and pre-roll campaigns, including impression/click tracking, CTR, frequency controls and placement management.
Can pre-roll ads be static banners?
Yes. Pre-roll campaigns can use an uploaded video ad or a static image/banner ad. Both can use the configured countdown and click tracking.
Can I change colors, gradients, logo and layouts?
Yes. The branding system supports logo/favicon assets, selectable layouts and broad color/gradient controls while preserving the underlying responsive layout system.
What happens if FFmpeg is unavailable?
The core app can still work. FFmpeg is optional and mainly helps with self-hosted uploaded-video thumbnails and metadata. Embedded videos can use source-page metadata, remote thumbnail URLs or manual thumbnail assets.
Can I use my own payment provider to sell the script?
Yes. The sales site can route buyers to Stripe Checkout, PayPal, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, another merchant provider or a custom sales flow using central configuration links.
Are legal/policy pages included?
The sales website includes editable terms, privacy, refund, licensing, acceptable-use, cookie and copyright-policy templates. They should be reviewed and finalized for your business, country and providers before launch.
Do you guarantee Google rankings?
No. Proper technical SEO, useful pages, internal links, crawlable content and structured data can help search engines understand a site, but indexing and rankings are never guaranteed.
