Questions from Chittagong

Will it work on the way to Comilla?

It does. Between Chittagong and Comilla (about 141 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.

Does it support Bengali subtitles?

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

Can I watch my films in India?

Anywhere, India included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.

How much mobile data does a film use in Chittagong?

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.

Does it help on crowded city networks in Chittagong?

Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.

What's the busiest time for streaming in Chittagong?

Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (13:00–17:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
