XUI Panel Integration

Overview

The XUI Panel Integration allows xOTT Panel to export linear streams, active events, and stable service event slots to XUI Panel. This gives providers fixed XUI inputs while xOTT handles service scripts, DRM, event refresh, stream recovery, and protected HLS delivery.

Note: XUI Panel integration is automatically installed with xOTT Panel. No additional setup is required beyond configuration.

Benefits of Integration

Centralized Management: Manage all your streams from one interface
Unified Dashboard: View xOTT and XUI streams in a single dashboard
Stable Event Inputs: Reuse fixed xOTT event-slot URLs in XUI while the live match behind the slot changes automatically
Scalability: Handle large numbers of streams efficiently
Professional Broadcasting: Use XUI Panel's broadcasting capabilities

Integration Features

Stream Export

Export xOTT Panel streams to XUI Panel with one-click functionality. Streams are automatically synchronized and can be managed from either interface.

Event Export

Export live events or stable event slots to XUI Panel. Slot-based exports keep the same URL while xOTT remaps the matching event automatically.

Connection Management

Manage multiple XUI Panel connections with automatic failover and load balancing for high availability.

Auto-Sync

Automatic synchronization of stream status, metadata, and configuration changes between xOTT Panel and XUI Panel.

Real-time Monitoring

Track export status, sync logs, and performance metrics for all integrated streams and events.

Batch Operations

Export multiple streams simultaneously, manage bulk operations, and perform mass updates across platforms.

Setup

XUI Panel integration is automatically installed with xOTT Panel. Follow these steps to configure the integration:

Prerequisites

xOTT Panel installed and running
XUI Panel instance accessible
Valid XUI Panel API credentials
Network connectivity between xOTT Panel and XUI Panel

Installation Steps

Verify Installation: The XUI integration is automatically installed with xOTT Panel. Check that the integration files are present in your xOTT Panel installation.
Access Integration Settings: Navigate to the Integration section in your xOTT Panel dashboard.
Configure XUI Panel Connection: Enter your XUI Panel URL and API credentials.
Test Connection: Use the connection test feature to verify the integration is working.
Enable Auto-Sync: Configure automatic synchronization settings.

Important: Ensure your XUI Panel instance is properly configured and accessible before setting up the integration. Connection issues can affect stream exports.

Configuration

XUI Panel Connection

Configure the connection to your XUI Panel instance:

Connection Settings

XUI Panel URL: The full URL to your XUI Panel instance
API Key: Your XUI Panel API key for authentication
Username: XUI Panel username (if required)
Password: XUI Panel password (if required)
Timeout: Connection timeout in seconds (default: 30)

Sync Settings

Configure synchronization behavior:

Auto-Sync Options

Enable Auto-Sync: Automatically sync changes between platforms
Sync Interval: How often to check for changes (default: 60 seconds)
Sync Streams: Automatically sync stream status and metadata
Sync Events: Automatically sync event scheduling and status
Bidirectional Sync: Allow changes from both platforms

Export Settings

Configure how streams and events are exported:

Stream Export Options

Default Category: Default category for exported streams
Auto-Start: Automatically start streams when exported
Preserve Metadata: Keep original stream metadata
Quality Settings: Default quality settings for exported streams

Event Export Options

Event Category: Default category for exported events
Stable Slot URL: Use the service event-slot URL instead of a one-off event URL
Auto-Schedule: Automatically schedule events in XUI Panel when needed
Duration Handling: Keep live/upcoming event timing aligned

Export Streams

Exporting streams to XUI Panel allows you to manage them from either platform. Changes made in one platform are automatically synchronized to the other.

Manual Stream Export

Select Streams: In the xOTT Panel dashboard, navigate to the Streams section.
Choose Export: Select the streams you want to export to XUI Panel.
Configure Settings: Set the export parameters (category, quality, etc.).
Export: Click the "Export to XUI Panel" button.
Monitor Status: Track the export progress in the integration dashboard.

Bulk Stream Export

Export multiple streams at once:

Select multiple streams using the checkboxes
Click "Bulk Export" from the actions menu
Configure export settings for all selected streams
Confirm the export operation
Monitor progress in the integration dashboard

Auto-Export Rules

Set up automatic export rules for new streams:

Service-based Rules: Auto-export streams from specific services
Quality-based Rules: Auto-export streams with specific quality settings
Category-based Rules: Auto-export streams in specific categories
Time-based Rules: Auto-export streams created at specific times

Tip: Use auto-export rules to streamline your workflow and ensure all new streams are automatically available in XUI Panel.

Export Events

Export live events to XUI Panel for professional broadcasting. For provider workflows, the preferred approach is to configure stable service event slots in xOTT first, then export those slots to XUI so the input URL remains fixed across match days.

Event Export Process

Configure Service Slots: In xOTT, open Service Outputs and create Auto or Dynamic slots for that service.
Assign Rules: Optional dynamic rules can match a team, competition, category, keyword, or regex.
Export Slot or Event: Export the stable slot URL or a specific active event to XUI Panel.
Keep XUI Stable: XUI keeps the same input while xOTT updates the event mapped to that slot.
Monitor Status: Track event status and performance from both platforms.

Event Slot Synchronization

Stable event slots keep provider workflows predictable:

Fixed URLs: XUI can keep the same stream source URL per slot
Daily Remapping: xOTT remaps events when the provider schedule updates
Dynamic Rules: Team, competition, category, keyword, and regex rules are supported
Protected Playback: Event-slot HLS URLs are token-protected
Metadata: Event names, logos, and timing are preserved where available

Broadcasting Features

When events are exported to XUI Panel, you gain access to:

Professional Broadcasting: Use XUI Panel's broadcasting tools
Multi-Platform Streaming: Stream to multiple platforms simultaneously
Advanced Analytics: Access detailed viewing analytics
Custom Branding: Apply custom branding and overlays
Interactive Features: Add chat, polls, and other interactive elements
