Free video hosting with JSON creation for ROKU

Vidxstream.com (https://vidxstream.com[/url:3w44ve5s]) has just rolled out their free video hosting deal. It is so easy to use. Create an account, upload videos, add hashtags for your categories to the description and done. They are using AWS and B2 servers so have great scalability as demand increases along with backups of all your videos. Your JSON file for Roku is at https://vidxstream.com/feed/rokujson.php?user=USERNAME[/url:3w44ve5s] They include adbreaks, tags, image creation or upload, and more. I switched over my feed last night and moved over 40+ videos in under an hour. They are also working on a payment model in Q1 2019 that will pay for views on the videos.

    Just curious... Are you, in any way, affiliated with the service you keep promoting?

    The only problem I see is that claim rights to stream your content and use in other ways they see fight and have no agreement on revenue sharing in place (though they promise one in the near future). but the rights fact is disturbing. assuming most people are creating thier own content or some other way inesting in creating the content, if you get a big hit on your hands they retain full rights to put it in movie theaters, make sequels and pass rights to other entities without sharing a nickel with the originator of the content.

    Thats just plain wrong... very Youtubish... and frankly I do not trust or give benefit of doubt when it comes to money and corporations.. maybe the rights deal is just an oversite on thier part or maybe they are just hoping for that one multimillion dollar box office hit to come thier way.. at the very east they can hold the content hostage from being bought by other producers etc without a payout to them...
