Wuhan, and the connections it runs on
Wuhan is the capital of Hubei. In a city of about 14 million, the same mast serves thousands of phones at once — streams that ask for less hold up better.
Making a bundle last in Wuhan
Same picture, less data: about 1.0 GB per HD hour, compared with 2.5–2.7 GB for Jellyfin and Plex in our live tests. That's the difference between a film finishing on mobile data in Wuhan or not.
Wuhan's time zone and viewing hours
Local time in Wuhan 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.
Wuhan gets about 10 h 10 min of daylight in mid-winter and 14 h 8 min in mid-summer.
Travelling around Hubei
From Wuhan it's about 459 km to Nanjing. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Hong Kong? Kowloon is about 919 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Wuhan
Can I watch my own films in Wuhan?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Wuhan or wherever you take them.
How much mobile data does a film use in Wuhan?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in China?
Free. Running the server at home in Wuhan costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my films in Hong Kong?
Yes. Over the border in Kowloon (around 919 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Wuhan.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Wuhan?
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.
Will it work on the way to Nanjing?
Yes — the 459 km trip to Nanjing is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
