Questions from Salvador
Does it help on crowded city networks in Salvador?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Salvador?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Salvador.
Does it support Portuguese subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .po.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
How much mobile data does a film use in Salvador?
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.
Will it work on the way to Recife?
It does. Between Salvador and Recife (about 675 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Salvador?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (22:00–02:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
