Ratings and reviews

I enjoy using it and have it setup on my TV and tablets. Stream all of our local content and have the option for hardware transcoding when needed. I don't really use it to stream outside my house though so i can't comment on that. I have used the offline mode a couple times and it worked fine. Occasionally has issues logging out on its own, and then refreshing certificates whenever my let's encrypt renews, but overall it works well for my family and me.

A lot of potential features that often do not work. The search on Android Tv does not work: I click on my mobile on the textbox, type the name of the movie, the result does not come out. Another problem: you cannot download subtitles or locate in the synology. Often it freezes and I cannot see movies anymore unless I move forward the time line. I cannot delete movies I saw. The scraper is not reliable.

Really like it. it does what it's supposed to grants me access to the server but you can only play one file at a time and it doesn't seem to want to let me create new playlists. And man it would be wonderful if it will just continue to play the next file of a folder but it doesn't so I want to give it a 3.5 but rounds up to four so there you go
