Guide for Resellers: Adding a Whitelist Host
As a reseller, you have the ability to manage whitelist hosts for your clients. This guide will walk you through the process of adding a whitelist host on OrbixPlay's dashboard.
Benefits of Whitelisting
- Access Control: Even if a device does not have an active player license or private mode license, it can still access and play media from whitelisted playlists.
- Security: Restricts access to specific hosts, ensuring only authorized playlists are accessible.
- Convenience: Simplifies access management by allowing certain hosts to bypass license checks.
Steps to Add a Whitelist Host
1. Login to Your Account
Navigate to OrbixPlay Dashboard and log in with your reseller credentials.
2. Access the Whitelist Section

4. Enter the Whitelist Host Information
In the form that appears, you will need to enter the host information. Note that you should not enter the entire playlist URL, but only the host part. For example:

, the host ishttps://test.com
. - If your URL is
http://test.com:80?username=test&password=test
