Next Hour is ideal for OTT startups, agencies, educational portals, indie filmmakers, or businesses wanting their own subscription-based video platform with:
- A full-featured web + mobile presence ✅

- If you’re still on v5.4, you’re missing important security, performance, and feature updates.
- GPL/nulled copies may omit later versions or pose security risks.
- Complexity and dependencies (Laravel, Flutter, multiple integrations) require capable hosting and maintenance.
🔧 Recommendations
- Upgrade to latest version (6.x) for full functionality and security.
- Use an official license (e.g., CodeCanyon) to ensure updates and support.
- Prepare a compatible hosting stack (Laravel, Flutter, storage backends like S3).
- Plan OTT features: subscription flows, ad strategies, device limits, and delivery scalability.
- Set up security: OTP login, XSS protection, credential management, updates.
