Ratings and reviews

Love the app for SRT playback of an IP camera livestream on an Amazon Fire TV Stick via LAN, avoiding the longer delays typically caused by RTMP. If only the app could have a setting to autolaunch a stream or support opening an SRT stream via a file (so I can automate it via the Launch on boot app) that would be awesome and I'll give it 5 stars. Even better would be simple navigation inside the playback to switch between multiple streams/camera views, support navigation keys (remote), imagine!

Works great on Android TV. On Android and iOS, an option to keep playing with screen turned off would be nice, especially for audio-only streams. I stream my music from my own server, so having my phone turned off and playing music would be a good feature to have. Great otherwise!

This application has been fantastic, but cannot justify paying a monthly subscription. As someone else said I can do a one-time 25 dollar commitment but otherwise it's back to VLC for me. All I have needed it for is to monitor a stream of an SRT feed. Also if parts of the app are pay for you that needs to be stated initially in the app store
