Questions from Dalian
Will it work on the way to Qingdao?
Yes. On the roughly 334 km between Dalian and Qingdao, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
How much mobile data does a film use in Dalian?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Does it support Chinese subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Dalian?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Dalian?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Dalian, or 11:00–15:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes — the server stays at home in Dalian and you watch from anywhere, including Incheon about 474 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
