In 2011, 24h Technologies (now renamed as Mavshack AB) and VIVA Entertainment collaborated in creating a specific platform that could stream content online. With this in mind, they created Mavshack. On September 2011, Mavshack finally launched the first-ever movie streaming of Filipino movies using Facebook as its platform. Since its launch, Mavshack has been airing free movies or concerts every week for Filipinos around the world.

During 2013, 24hTechnologies was renamed Mavshack AB and the web portal Mavshack.com was launched, offering Filipino content for Filipino Diasporas outside of the Philippines. By the end of the first year Mavshack had extended the offer and target group to include not only Filipinos within the Philippines, but also Chinese, Indonesian and Indian speaking people by offering Asian content from these regions as well.

The offer of Mavshack content is more or less the same regardless of the region, however a certain selection of available titles is based upon the user's IP address due to specific restrictions for certain titles from our content providers. For most users, this corresponds to the user's physical location.
