Questions from Moundou
How much mobile data does a film use in Moundou?
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 support French and Arabic subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Does it work on slower connections around Moundou?
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.
Can I watch my films in Cameroon?
Anywhere, Cameroon included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to N'Djamena?
It does. Between Moundou and N'Djamena (about 409 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Moundou?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Moundou or wherever you take them.
