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.

The app works well and does what it needs. But I'm removing 2 stars for the subpar user experience and lack of convenience features: all episodes have to be downloaded one by one, no possibility of selecting seasons, shows or multiple episodes at once. Also, you have to dig into an episode/movie to download it, you can't do it from the overview page. And in the downloaded videos tab, all videos are listed without grouping them per show or anything.

I am very happy with the app, does its job well. However, the GUI could be more intuitive - especially search and filtering by criteria, such as genre, and selecting another media file for the same movie title. It is there, but somewhat hidden. I could use search & filtering by other tags, such as movie language, not just a country of origin, having bilingual movie collection.

This is one of my most used apps, because I can watch movies stored on my NAS wherever I go, over the quickconnect. Few details are bugging me though: - when I watch a video over this android app, the progress is not registered in the Video station. - when I'm casting a movie to Chromecast and browse the internets on the phone, the video playback on Chromecast stops whenever some video starts playing (youtube, video ad, instagram story, ... ), it's quite annoying - it messes with volume settings. When I'm casting to chromecast I often can't increase volume on my phone - if I have the app running in background, leave home (my wifi) and then get back, I need to close it first before casting, because I get "Unknown error" otherwise. Despite these issues, I really like this app.

Beautiful app, but it seems to be impossible to download a video without transcoding it first, even when transcoding is disabled in the settings. That seems like a basic feature, and the app is already able to play the video files without transcoding them, so I don't understand why this feature isn't available... It is also impossible to download several episodes of a TV show at once.

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.
