Troubleshooting

Most problems are one of these.
Troubleshooting — Can't reach the server, buffering, missing titles, subtitles, expired TV codes and sign-in codes.

“Isn't reachable from here”

  • At home: make sure the device is on the same Wi-Fi as the server and the server computer is awake
  • Away: set up a route (see Watch away from home)
  • Check the server is running: open http://<server>:8097 on the server computer

“The server didn't answer in time”

The connection stalled. Check your internet and tap Try again.

Buffering

  • Set a lower data saver cap
  • On a busy server, let the overnight optimiser prepare popular titles
  • Check the bandwidth panel's connection estimate

A title is missing

  • It may be in a Parental Control folder (🔒) — enter the PIN
  • Check the file name (see Add your media) and Rescan library
  • An admin may have deleted it — look in .silux-deleted

Subtitles don't show

Name sidecar files exactly like the film plus a language code (Film (2020).en.srt). Image-based subtitles (PGS, VobSub) aren't supported yet.

TV code expired

Codes last 10 minutes — choose Sign in again on the TV.
