Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.

How much mobile data does a film use in Port of Spain?

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.

Will it work on the way to San Fernando?

Yes. On the roughly 43 km between Port of Spain and San Fernando, 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.

Can I watch my films in Venezuela?

Anywhere, Venezuela included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.

Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Port of Spain, or 23:00–03:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.

Does it support English subtitles?

Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
