Shenyang, and the connections it runs on
Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning. With about 9.1 million people, Shenyang is one of the largest cities on Earth — and its mobile networks are shared by millions at the same time.
Shenyang's time zone and viewing hours
Local time in Shenyang is UTC+8, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (11:00–15:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Daylight in Shenyang swings from about 9 h 8 min in mid-winter to 15 h 13 min in mid-summer — long winter evenings are film evenings.
Making a bundle last in Shenyang
In our measurements a film in full HD uses about 1.0 GB per hour on Silux Media, against 2.5–2.7 GB on Jellyfin and Plex for the same picture. A 5 GB mobile bundle in Shenyang lasts about 8 hours of 720p instead of 3.7.
Travelling around Liaoning
Heading to Dalian (about 356 km) or Harbin (510 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into South Korea? Incheon is about 558 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Shenyang
Does it help on crowded city networks in Shenyang?
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 Shenyang?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Shenyang, elsewhere in Liaoning, or abroad.
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Anywhere, South Korea included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What does Silux Media cost in China?
Free. Running the server at home in Shenyang costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Does it support Chinese subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Shenyang?
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.
