What makes Copenhagen different

Copenhagen has about 1.2 million residents, from dense centres with busy mobile networks to suburbs where home upload speed is what limits streaming. Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark.

When Copenhagen sits down to watch

Local time in Copenhagen is UTC+1, moving to UTC+2 for summer. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (18:00–22:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.

Daylight in Copenhagen swings from about 7 h 1 min in mid-winter to 17 h 32 min in mid-summer — long winter evenings are film evenings.

How much data a film uses in Copenhagen

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 Copenhagen lasts about 8 hours of 720p instead of 3.7.

Beyond Copenhagen

Heading to Odense (about 140 km) or Aarhus (156 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.

Crossing into Sweden? Malmö is about 28 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Copenhagen

Does it support Danish subtitles?

Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .da.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.

Can I watch my own films in Copenhagen?

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 Copenhagen.

Will it work on the way to Odense?

It does. Between Copenhagen and Odense (about 140 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.

Long winter evenings in Copenhagen — 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.

How much mobile data does a film use in Copenhagen?

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.

What does Silux Media cost in Denmark?

The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
