    Well to be fair, subtitles are often messed up on the open source one, but OH BOY you haven’t seen the state of Belgian streaming apps.

    Casting doesn’t work on most, subtitles only work on 1/3 with some reality shows having burned in subs, tapping the screen in logical places to play/pause doesn’t work (like the giant play button in the middle of the screen when paused), one of them literally doesn’t even have a search function.

    Ads are ridiculous, 10+ ads every 10 minutes. Not to mention that if you scrub at all instead of just forward/back, automatic ad break plays. Recently played just stopped being broken and giving wrong episodes. It is an absolute mess.
