The SWOT
- Hardware-accelerated 4K playback enables high-resolution viewing without external dependencies
- Folder-based media management creates a persistent organization layer for local file libraries
- Implementing a premium ad-free tier could capture revenue from power users currently underserved by the ad-supported model
