Your films. Anywhere.

Smooth on the line you actually have
Each label shows the Silux Media bitrate for that quality level. Plex, Jellyfin and Emby need two to three times the data for the same picture.
Desert, Africa or the city — it just plays.
In the desert
On a 1 Mbps satellite or 3G link, Silux keeps films watchable instead of buffering — quality steps down smoothly, never stops.
Across Africa and beyond
Mobile data is expensive. Every hour of HD uses about 1 GB on Silux — not 2.5–2.7 GB. Your bundle lasts more than twice as long.
In the city
On fast lines you get crisp 1080p — and your household's bandwidth stays free for everyone else.
Same picture. Less than half the data.
We ran live Plex, Jellyfin and Emby servers and streamed the same films through each. Silux Media had to match or beat their picture quality on every frame — then we counted every byte.
Measured against live Plex 1.43, Jellyfin 12.2 and Emby 4.10 servers on 8 test films and series clips. Silux Media had to match or beat each server's picture quality (Netflix VMAF, every frame) — then we counted every byte sent, video, audio and container. Full method in our benchmark report.
