The enhanced Popcornflix app also offers top quality studio films, original and exclusive content, as well as classic TV series.

With access to its own enriched viewership data, Popcornflix will be able to enjoy increased CPMs while the systems built-in advanced business rules support better targeting with smart ad campaign management.

Partnering with SeaChange has allowed us to elevate the entire Popcornflix user experience, said Karan Singh, vice-president of Product Management at Crackle Plus.

They helped us to strengthen video playback on all devices while also implementing server-side advertising (SSAI) to provide a better ad experience. Were proud of the new apps and look forward to continuing to improve them with the SeaChange team.

Additional new features include a search functionality, making it easier for users to find relevant content; separate movies and series pages; and enhanced playback performance on all devices.

Popcornflix is a leader in the advertising video on demand market providing quality movies and content to consumers. We enjoyed working with its in-house team to supercharge their offering and create an exceptional user experience, said Bob Pons, executive chairman, SeaChange International. And its new StreamVid system is fully scalable so that when Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment decides to expand into international markets, we can make that happen seamlessly.
