Welcome and sign in
- Sign in with Silux Media — your account email and password, then a 6-digit sign-in code if your account uses them; the app says whether to check your email, Telegram or authenticator app.
- Sign in with a code from another device — for a device where typing is awkward.
- Connect to a server directly — the server's address and a user on that server, no account needed.
- ⚙ (top right) — Server address, if you were given a different Silux Media address.
- 🌐 Language — the apps follow your device's language (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese); choose any of them here or in Account → Language, whatever your device is set to.
