Questions from Siem Reap
What does Silux Media cost in Cambodia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Thailand?
Anywhere, Thailand included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Siem Reap?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (12:00–16:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Siem Reap?
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 Phnom Penh?
It does. Between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh (about 231 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it work on slower connections around Siem Reap?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
