What is Muvi?

Muvi buries its product announcements in a stream of streaming-industry explainers

Muvi's feed is mostly search-targeted content for streaming operators — access control for corporate broadcasts, DRM for live streams, church livestreaming setups, AI content filtering — with occasional real announcements mixed in under the same format. AI SafeWatch, which lets viewers skip sensitive scenes, is the current example: an actual capability announced in a body that looks identical to the explainers around it. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries ending in a Continue reading marker.

What is HOMER?

HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.

HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.

Muvi buries its product announcements in a stream of streaming-industry explainers

◆ Current state

Muvi's feed is mostly search-targeted content for streaming operators — access control for corporate broadcasts, DRM for live streams, church livestreaming setups, AI content filtering — with occasional real announcements mixed in under the same format. AI SafeWatch, which lets viewers skip sensitive scenes, is the current example: an actual capability announced in a body that looks identical to the explainers around it. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries ending in a Continue reading marker.

◆ Where it's heading

The recurring theme is control over what a viewer can see and do: DRM, domain restrictions, watermarking, device controls, broadcast delay, and now scene-level filtering the viewer chooses rather than the operator enforces. AI SafeWatch is the interesting turn there — every other control in this feed is the operator restricting the audience, while this one hands the choice to the person watching. The vertical content, churches and corporate events, marks where Muvi is selling.

◆ Prediction

Content filtering has now been argued twice and shipped once, so expect SafeWatch's categories to become operator-configurable, since the rest of this product's viewer controls are administered rather than self-serve.

5.0

HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.

◆ Current state

HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.

◆ Where it's heading

Three releases in a week closed access gaps, which suggests a security review of the 11.0 line before a stable release. Alongside it, the work on SIP-I and ISUP decoding points at carrier and telco users who bridge SS7 and SIP.

◆ Prediction

Expect more fail-closed defaults and sandboxing in the next 11.0 builds, and possibly a published advisory for the mTLS issue.
