Questions from Tirana
What's the busiest time for streaming in Tirana?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (18:00–22:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
What does Silux Media cost in Albania?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Durrës?
It does. Between Tirana and Durrës (about 30 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my films in North Macedonia?
Anywhere, North Macedonia included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it work on slower connections around Tirana?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
Can I watch my own films in Tirana?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Tirana, elsewhere in Albania, or abroad.
