When Linz sits down to watch
Local time in Linz is UTC+1, moving to UTC+2 for summer. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (18:00–22:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Daylight in Linz swings from about 8 h 19 min in mid-winter to 16 h 6 min in mid-summer — long winter evenings are film evenings.

Same picture, less data: about 1.0 GB per HD hour, compared with 2.5–2.7 GB for Jellyfin and Plex in our live tests. That's the difference between a film finishing on mobile data in Linz or not.
Beyond Linz
From Linz it's about 108 km to Salzburg. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Czech Republic? Plzeň is about 173 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Linz
Will it work on the way to Salzburg?
It does. Between Linz and Salzburg (about 108 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in Austria?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Long winter evenings in Linz — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
Can I watch my films in Czech Republic?
Yes — the server stays at home in Linz and you watch from anywhere, including Plzeň about 173 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Can I watch my own films in Linz?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Linz, elsewhere in Upper Austria, or abroad.
How much mobile data does a film use in Linz?
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.
