Ratings and reviews

It's great through the website and the Android app, but it's a little janky on Android TV. the second column in from the right has a larger image than the rest of the rows, and it throws scrolling off. The Android TV version also doesn't sort folders out to the top, no matter how you sort your library. Beyond that, it's better than VLC, Microsoft's built-in SMB share, or Plex.

It would be really nice to have more options, especially on TV, for example I want to keep the plot on my metadata, but I hate how it occupies most of the screen in the interface, so an option to hide it (or other stuff too) would be really good

Please fix resume. Pause, come back 10 min later, and resume simply doesn't work. It's crippling. Never seems to remember where playback stopped. Pages don't update with the correct resume point. You guys must know this. Fast forward doesn't work. Just stops playing. Really poor
