Questions from Split
What's the busiest time for streaming in Split?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
Will it work on the way to Dubrovnik?
Yes — the 166 km trip to Dubrovnik is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Split?
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.
Long winter evenings in Split — 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.
Can I watch my own films in Split?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Split, elsewhere in Split-Dalmatia, or abroad.
Does it work on slower connections around Split?
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.
