     > **TL;DR** — Almost every app uses the **standard model**: your server syncs Wandura's catalog and asks Wandura for a playback ticket each time a viewer plays an episode.

A third, **open video** path for content with no rights to protect (for example fitness clips) is [coming soon](open-video.md). If you are not sure, you are on the standard model — start with the [integration guide](integration-guide.md).
