Questions from Fortaleza
What does Silux Media cost in Brazil?
Free. Running the server at home in Fortaleza costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Does it support Portuguese subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Portuguese or any other language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Fortaleza?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Fortaleza?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
Will it work on the way to Natal?
Yes — the 436 km trip to Natal is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Fortaleza?
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.
