What the admin panel is

The admin panel is where MuviPe is run from: who the members are, how money is split, what the platform charges, which ads run, and which films and series are on sale. This guide walks through every screen, with the real screen beside what each marked part does.

MuviPe Core Ω

Members, money settings, configuration, services and the site's text pages.

MuviPe Ads μ

Reviewing ad files, campaigns, sponsor funds and sponsors.

MuviPe Studio φ

The library of movies and series, producers, genres, languages and content types.

How to read this guide

Each screen is shown with amber outlines and numbers. The numbered list under the picture explains each marked part, in the same order. Click any picture to open it full size.

Getting in

Signing in

Only accounts with the admin role can use the admin panel. Admin accounts are provisioned, never self-served: nobody can sign up as an admin.

The admin sign-in page.

The admin sign-in page.

  1. 1
    Email — the admin account's email address.
  2. 2
    Password — use the eye icon at the end of the field to show what you typed.
  3. 3
    Sign in — signs in with email and password.
  4. 4
    Sign in with a passkey — signs in with a passkey saved on your device (fingerprint, face or device PIN) instead of a password.

Getting around

The layout: rail, panel and account

Every screen shares the same frame. Learn it once and the rest of the panel follows.

The frame around every screen, shown on the Core dashboard.

The frame around every screen, shown on the Core dashboard.

  1. 1
    The rail — the narrow bar on the far left. The MuviPe logo at the top takes you to the dashboard; below it is one icon per section of the portal you are in (Core: Dashboard, Members, Setup, Services, Pages). Click an icon to show that section's screens in the panel beside it.
  2. 2
    Portal switcher — Core, Ads and Studio. The rail and panel change to that portal's sections. The portal also switches by itself when you open a screen that belongs to another one.
  3. 3
    Search — filters the current portal's screens by name as you type. Press / anywhere to jump to it.
  4. 4
    Account card — your name and email, with a menu for your account and for signing out.
  • A section with a single screen (like Dashboard) opens it straight away. A section with several shows them in the panel.
  • Two screens live in two portals: Sponsors (Core and Ads) and Producers (Core and Studio). Opening them from Ads or Studio keeps you in that portal.
  • Some entries are greyed out with a Soon tag, such as Directors and Cast & Crew in Studio. They are planned and not built yet.

Portal 1 · Ω

MuviPe Core

Everything that runs the platform.

Dashboard

The first screen after signing in. It is the platform at a glance, with tabs for the health of the systems underneath.

Core dashboard, Overview tab.

Core dashboard, Overview tab.

  1. 1
    Tabs — Overview (the catalogue and sales), then API, Apps, VPS, CDN and Payments for the state of each system. Their details are explained under Services.
  2. 2
    Needs your decision — things waiting for an admin. Today that is Ads to review: a tick means nothing is waiting, and a count means ad files are in the queue. It links to Creative review.
  3. 3
    Best sellers — tickets sold per title.
  4. 4
    Top genres — how many movies use each genre. Top languages sits beside it.

The four cards at the top count movies, series, tickets sold and producers. The shortcuts Add movie and Add series start a new title. Recently added lists the newest titles with their live or offline state.

Members

Everyone who has an account. One account has one role, set when the account is created from the portal it signs up in.

Roles

The roles an account can have: User, Producer, Sponsor, Admin and Editor.

The Roles list.

The Roles list.

  1. 1
    Roles table — each role with a description of who it is for. For example, Admin is provisioned only, never self-served, and the Producer and Sponsor descriptions note that those accounts start out pending.
  2. 2
    Active switch — switching a role off stops new accounts being given it. Existing accounts keep their role.
  3. 3
    Edit — opens a side sheet to change the name and description.
Editing a role.

The Sponsors list.

The Sponsors list.

  1. 1
    Search — by name, email or phone.

  3. 3
    Change limit — set this sponsor's own limit in MB. Leave it blank to go back to the platform default (set under Storage plans).

Producers

Which parts of the Producer panel each producer can use. A switched-off part disappears from the producer's sidebar and cannot be opened.

The Producers module switches.

The Producers module switches.

  1. 1
    Search — by name or email.
  2. 2
    Module columns — My Films, My Series, Commissions, Watch time, Inbox, Payouts and Storage.

  • The cards above the table show how many producers have everything on and how many are limited.

Finance

The money rules. Two screens: Commissions for what a ticket and a wallet cost, and Storage plans for what each account may store.

Commissions

Four tabs. Everything about the ticket split changes from the next season only: the running season keeps the split it began with.

Commissions → Ticket split.

Commissions → Ticket split.

  1. 1
    Tabs — Ticket split, Referral & legs, Wallet fee, Ad pricing.
  2. 2
    Ticket price split — what is added to the producer's price: platform charge, OTT service charge, distributor bonus and GST, each in rupees.
  3. 3
    Watch-time top-up — the company's charges when someone tops up watch time. The producer gets the same share as for a ticket, and the buyer pays that plus these charges.
  4. 4
    Save — saves the split. It applies from the next season.
Commissions → Referral & legs.

Commissions → Referral & legs.

  1. 1
    Tab — Referral & legs.

Commissions → Ad pricing.

  1. 1
    Minimum price per 1,000 views — the lowest price a sponsor may set, separately for video ads and banner ads. It applies to new campaigns only; running campaigns keep their price. Setting 0 turns a minimum off.
  2. 2
    Adding ad funds — the smallest and largest amount a sponsor can add in one payment, and the balance below which the sponsor is warned that funds are low (a banner in their panel). Set the warning to 0 to turn it off.
  3. 3
    Save — each card has its own Save button.

Storage plans

What each kind of account stores for free, and what extra storage costs.

Storage plans → Plans.

Storage plans → Plans.

    Tabs — Plans and Monthly extra usage.

    Producers — the free storage included with every producer account, and the price per extra GB.
  3. 3
    Sponsors — the same for sponsor accounts.
  4. 4
    Save plans — saves both plans.
  • Storage beyond the allowance is billed on the monthly average: each day's amount over the allowance is averaged across the days, then each started GB counts in full. A spike that is cleaned up before month end still costs for the days it lasted.
  • One account can be given its own limit on its own screen (see Sponsors).
Storage plans → Monthly extra usage.

    Past seasons — the rules every earlier season froze when it began, so any old season can be looked up in one place.

Services

Live health and numbers for the outside services MuviPe depends on. These screens name the providers on purpose. Provider keys are held only on the API server and never reach the browser. Each screen refreshes about every 30 minutes, and Fetch again refreshes it now.

Services → Apps (the deployment platform).

The wording of the site's own pages is edited here, not in code. Saving updates the live page. Every page is a text editor with a toolbar for headings, bold, italic, underline, colour, lists, links and images.

Pages → FAQ.

Creative review with nothing waiting.

  1. 1
    The queue — empty here, so it says Nothing is waiting for review. When there are files, each is shown with its type and dimensions and two buttons: Approve, and Reject, which asks for a reason (required).
  • Automatic checks come first. A video longer than 2 minutes is rejected automatically and never reaches this queue.
  • A file that is approved can be served in a campaign; a rejected one cannot, and the sponsor sees the reason.

Good to know

Rules that apply everywhere

  • Admin owns content. Producers see their titles but do not edit them; uploads, prices and going live or offline are all handled here.
  • Seasons are the base. Ticket split, star rules and prices change from the next season only. Past seasons are kept and can be looked up.
  • Money changes only touch new things — new campaigns, new transactions, the next season.
  • Producers earn nothing from ads. Ad money is between the sponsor and MuviPe.
  • One account, one role. A person who needs two roles needs two accounts.
  • Only Core → Services names providers. Everywhere else the CDN and payment providers are not named.
