Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Spanish or any other language.

Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Can I watch my films in Uruguay?
Yes. Over the border in Montevideo (around 161 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in La Plata.

It does. Between La Plata and Buenos Aires (about 52 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.

Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in La Plata, elsewhere in Buenos Aires, or abroad.
What does Silux Media cost in Argentina?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
