Player and links
How visitors watch and download your movies and episodes: the panel of links, the player on computers and phones, downloads with passwords, and premium links for members.
Overview
The links of each movie and episode open in a panel, without leaving the page:
- On a movie page, the Watch and Download buttons open it. Download opens it at its own section.
- On a TV show page, each episode opens it. See TV show page.
The panel has two sections:
| Section | Links | What happens on tap |
|---|---|---|
| Watch | Embed links | The video plays in the player |
| Download | Downloads and MP4 files | The link opens in a new tab |
The links come from Dbmovies: the published links of each title, including those of Auto-Embed. See Link sources and Auto-Embed.

What each link shows
- The language, with its flag.
- The server, such as YouTube or MEGA.
- The quality, such as 1080p.
- The file size, on downloads that have one.
- The password, on downloads that have one. Tapping it copies it.
- Premium, on links reserved for members with a subscription.
The real address of a link never appears on the page: each one opens through Dbmovies, which checks premium access and counts the visit. See How links reach your visitors.
The player
On computers, the video opens to the left of the panel, over the darkened page. The list of links hides so the video takes the whole width. A button at the corner of the video shows the list again, to change the link, and the × stops the video.
On phones, the video plays at the top of the panel, in the place of the image, without leaving the page.
The video stops when the visitor closes the panel or opens another episode. Full screen works with the button of each player.

Downloads
Downloads and MP4 files open in a new tab, where the host of the file or the browser takes over. A visitor can also open any link in a new tab with Ctrl or Cmd + click.
Premium links
A link marked as Premium is only for members with an active subscription:
- Members with a subscription open it like any other link.
- Everyone else goes to Account › Membership to subscribe. Visitors without an account sign in first and come back to Membership.
The password of a premium download is only shown to members with a subscription. See Subscriptions.
When there are no links
A movie without published links still shows Watch and Download. The panel shows No sources available.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The panel shows No sources available | The title has no published links. Add them in Dbmovies, or check that they are Published |
| A link opens a blank or broken player | The host of the link no longer serves it. Check its health in Dbmovies › Links and replace it |
| A visitor with a subscription is sent to Membership | Their subscription is not active. Check it in Dbmovies › Subscriptions |
| A link is missing from a movie | A movie shows up to 50 links. Check that the link is Published |
| An MP4 file opens in a new tab instead of the player | MP4 files are listed in Download and open in a new tab, where the browser plays them |
