Love it!

Streaming was smooth in previous versions. The latest update has a strange stutter on my iPhone Air: audio breaks, disappears, comes back, and goes out of sync abruptly.

I love being able to scroll comments while the video stays on top. Would be nice to be able to loop it so you can continue reading comments without the video stopping or moving to the next one.

All in all, nice looking app. Responsive, doesn’t phone home and it’s free.

Streaming issues

Nice looking app. Responsive, doesn’t phone home and it’s free.

Deserves 5 stars but…streaming directly from the NAS is not working. Only downloaded files to my iPhone can be played.
UPDATE: This has been fixed with a warning during setup to make sure you have the necessary line in your YAML. So, now it is working great.

Also it’s very nice to scroll comments while the video stays on top. Would be nice to be able to loop it so you can continue reading comments without the video stopping or moving to the next one.

Simple and Works

Great app that cleanly integrates into my homelab.

Wish there was some customization to the home page.

Otherwise works like a charm! Oh and I use this on iOS and AppleTV, works great for both.

Does not play videos

I have got this integrated with the server side and shows the videos but does not show thumbnails nor even plays the downloaded videos

Response from developer

Hi, Did you disable the static auth on your server? Without this, the app cannot access those resources. This is a limitation of TA and without it you would be forced to re-login frequently like the website does.

DOES NOT PLAY VIDEOS

This app does not play videos!! It simply shows playing and then “Done” and then exits

Response from developer

Hi, Did you disable the static auth on your server? Without this, the app cannot access those resources. This is a limitation of TA and how they handle authentication.
