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 Liberia or not.
Travelling around Guanacaste Province
From Liberia it's about 151 km to Alajuela. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Nicaragua? Managua is about 189 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Liberia's time zone and viewing hours
Local time in Liberia is UTC−6, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (01:00–05:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Liberia has about 11 h 30 min–12 h 45 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.
Questions from Liberia
Can I watch my films in Nicaragua?
Anywhere, Nicaragua included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Can I watch my own films in Liberia?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Liberia.
How much mobile data does a film use in Liberia?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
What does Silux Media cost in Costa Rica?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Does it work on slower connections around Liberia?
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.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
