From Luanda to everywhere else
Run the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Luanda, Huambo and Lobito, on the road, or abroad. Quality is re-checked every three seconds, so the film keeps playing when the signal drops instead of buffering.
Subtitles and audio in Portuguese
Every subtitle and audio track in your files is offered in the player. Name subtitle files with a language code and they're matched automatically:
- My Film (2024).pt.srt — Portuguese
Questions from Angola
Does Silux Media work in Angola?
Yes. The server runs on your own computer, so it works anywhere you have electricity and internet — in Luanda, Huambo and Lobito or a village far from fibre. You can watch on your home network, or remotely from anywhere.
How much mobile data does a film use?
In our measurements, about 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p — compared with 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour for Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Can I watch with Portuguese subtitles?
Yes — Silux Media picks up subtitle files next to your films and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, in any language.
Which currency can I pay in?
The self-hosted server is free. Optional paid plans are billed in USD (or GBP/EUR/USD) through our website — never inside the apps.
