Requires Jackett for search and a paid OpenSubtitles.org VIP account for subtitles, adding setup complexity and ongoing costs.
Video conversion and downloading can be CPU and disk heavy, which may strain low-power servers or VPS instances.
Videos must be downloaded and converted before playback, introducing wait times compared to pre-loaded media servers.
Advanced setup, like VPN tunneling on a VPS, relies on wiki pages and external guides, making it less beginner-friendly.
