Sign in on your phone, tablet or computer

The Silux Media apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux open your server's library. You can sign in with your Silux Media account or connect to a server directly.
Sign in and link a TV — Create the admin account, sign in on a phone or computer, and sign a TV in with a code approved from the phone.

Sign in with your Silux Media account

  1. 1Open the app and tap Sign in with Silux Media.
  2. 2Enter your email and password, then tap Sign in. If you have sign-in codes on, the app tells you where your 6-digit code is (your email, your Telegram, or your authenticator app) — enter it and tap Sign in. No code box appears if you have codes turned off.
  3. 3Choose your server from the list (servers shared with you appear as “Shared with you”).
  4. 4The app connects the fastest way: home network first, then an encrypted direct connection, then the relay.

Connect to a server directly (no account)

  1. 1On the welcome screen tap Connect to a server directly.
  2. 2Enter the server's address, e.g. http://192.168.1.20:8097 (the port is added for you).
  3. 3Enter your name and password on that server, as set up by its admin, and tap Connect.

Server address (when the service moves)

Tap ⚙ on the welcome screen, or Account menu → Server address, to point the app at a different Silux Media account server. The app checks the new address answers before saving it, and signs you out of the old one.

Sign out and switch server

Use the Account menu (person icon, top right): Switch server returns to your server list; Sign out signs this device out of your account.

Questions

I forgot my password

Reset it on the website's sign-in page (Forgot password). For a server's own sign-in, ask its admin to set a new one in Settings → People.

Is my password sent safely?

Yes. Sign-in goes over the account server's connection, sessions can be signed out from Account → Settings → Signed-in devices on the website, and wrong passwords are rate-limited.
