Bada$$ app love this app ^5 to the developers. I have had plex for years but the audio in playback is awful voices are so low explosions are to loud. I wanted a app to stream my library to my firesticks. This app works great even has meta data just index and it loads the cover art. I have used this on my tablet firesticks and phones. Be nice if I could share my library outside my network like plex but still this app is great 👍 and no Ads even better! Oh and it has audio boost too.

Unable to see or play audio files. As a full featured media player it should be able to play mp3 and audio files too, But, it insists on searching for videos instead. It takes a long time to do anything even when I direct it to a specific small folder with only two or three files in it and then says nothing found.

Easy to setup interface. For me the video player is unusable as it keeps randomly stopping video playback and goes back to the menu. Thankfully it's easy to replace the video player choice, but it would be great if the built in player worked better. The built in player is so far the only player I found that will auto play the next video in a directory.
