Beyond Sarajevo
Heading to Mostar (about 71 km) or Banja Luka (138 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Croatia? Dubrovnik is about 136 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Sarajevo
What's the busiest time for streaming in Sarajevo?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Sarajevo, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Long winter evenings in Sarajevo — 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.
Will it work on the way to Mostar?
Yes. On the roughly 71 km between Sarajevo and Mostar, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
What does Silux Media cost in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
How much mobile data does a film use in Sarajevo?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Can I watch my films in Croatia?
Anywhere, Croatia included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
