Skip Intro, watch together, Live TV, DLNA, audiobooks and more — all free

We checked everything Plex, Jellyfin and Emby offer and built what was missing: Skip Intro and Credits, watch parties, Live TV, a DLNA server, playlists, lyrics, audiobooks, age limits, smaller downloads, backup and more — free in every app.

Our rule: nothing a big media server offers should be missing from Silux Media, and none of it should cost extra. This release closes every gap we found in our audit — and keeps the low-data streaming nobody else matches.

Watching

  • Skip Intro and Skip Credits — from chapters, or marked once for a whole series; optional auto-skip
  • Chapters, seek previews (with native thumbnails on Apple TV), a sleep timer, and resume that starts 5 seconds back
  • Watch together: share a 6-letter code and play, pause and seek stay in step on every device
  • Live TV from your TV aerial tuner or TV provider, with a TV guide, re-encoded to lean 720p/480p/360p
  • Several versions of a film (4K and 1080p) as one title, with trailers and extras on its page

Music, audiobooks and photos

  • Personal playlists with shuffle and repeat, on every device
  • Synced lyrics from .lrc files or tags
  • An Audiobooks section with chapters, speed, a sleep timer and your place kept everywhere
  • Photo albums from folders, and slideshows on phones, computers and TVs

For the household

  • Age limits per person (G/U to R/TV-MA), enforced by the server on every device
  • A DLNA server so TVs and consoles at home play without an app — PIN-protected folders never appear
  • Camera upload from the phone and computer apps (admins)
  • Smaller downloads: 1080p, 720p or 480p copies made by your server

For the server owner

  • Kodi/Radarr/Sonarr .nfo details, album art from the Cover Art Archive, and posters, plots, ratings and subtitles with your own free TMDB and OpenSubtitles keys
  • Backup and restore of people, PINs, progress, playlists and settings in one file
  • Webhooks for new media and playback
