Watch films on mobile data

Mobile data is precious — and in many countries expensive. A media server that sends less than half the data for the same picture makes every bundle last more than twice as long.

Set up for mobile

  1. 1Open the Silux Media app → play a film
  2. 2Settings (⚙) → Data saver → 1.2 Mbps or 0.6 Mbps
  3. 3Open the bandwidth panel to watch the data used in real time

On 3G, 4G and 5G

  • 3G / weak 4G: 540p–720p, about 0.5–1 Mbps
  • Good 4G: 720p–1080p, 1–2.3 Mbps
  • 5G: full HD with headroom — or cap it to save data

Questions

Does the app download in the background?

Only a short buffer ahead of where you're watching, so stopping early doesn't waste data.
