A new Spanish streaming service named acontra+ has launched on the Magine Pro platform.
The service is run by the independent Spanish distributor A Contracorriente Films and offers a wide catalogue of national and international feature films of all genres, classics and contemporary films.
acontra+ is available via SVOD and TVOD and can be accessed via web browser, Apple iOS apps (iPhone and iPad), Apple TV, Google Android apps, the app for Android TV sets, Amazon Fire TV stick, LG TV App and Samsung Smart TV. It can also be shared from Airplay or Chromecast and can be viewed offline via download on the devices.
Commenting in the launch, Eduardo Escudero, partner and business manager of A Contracorriente Films, said: “We are a film distributor, and we have cinema in our DNA. The digital world is the best ally for the public who love cinema and want to continue watching it in theatres”.
Matthew Wilkinson, CEO of Magine Pro, added: “We are happy to be a part of this unique OTT concept with fantastic movie content streamed online combined with the great viewing experience you also get in the cinemas for all true movie lovers.
“It is the best of two worlds in one offer, making films available on all major devices through Magine Pro and in the cinema theatres as an exclusive add-on”.
Marta Carrasco, head of acontra+, said: “Magine Pro is a full OTT provider. This has made our job so much easier because we didn’t have to rely on multiple providers for developing each device application. In one company we found the solution we needed, in a record time”.
Magine Pro is a platform for b2b managed services for OTT, enabling global and local content owners, broadcasters and telcos to build OTT businesses with live, linear TV and VOD streaming services.
