Questions from Wollongong
What does Silux Media cost in Australia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Sydney?
It does. Between Wollongong and Sydney (about 68 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Wollongong?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Wollongong, elsewhere in New South Wales, or abroad.
Does it support English subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English or any other language.
Does it work on slower connections around Wollongong?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Wollongong?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (09:00–13:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
