Questions from Odesa
What's the busiest time for streaming in Odesa?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Odesa, or 17:00–21:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
How much mobile data does a film use in Odesa?
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.

Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
Does it support Ukrainian subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Will it work on the way to Dnipro?
Yes. On the roughly 391 km between Odesa and Dnipro, 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 Moldova?
Yes — the server stays at home in Odesa and you watch from anywhere, including Chișinău about 155 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
