Mid-winter in Saskatoon brings only about 7 h 43 min of daylight (against 16 h 46 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Saskatoon
Can I watch my own films in Saskatoon?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Saskatoon, elsewhere in Saskatchewan, or abroad.
Does it support English and French subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Will it work on the way to Regina?
It does. Between Saskatoon and Regina (about 235 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Saskatoon?
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 work on slower connections around Saskatoon?
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.
Long winter evenings in Saskatoon — 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.
