Questions from San Salvador
What does Silux Media cost in El Salvador?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Can I watch my films in Guatemala?
Anywhere, Guatemala included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.

Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in San Salvador, or 01:00–05:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .sp.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
How much mobile data does a film use in San Salvador?
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.
Will it work on the way to Santa Ana?
Yes. On the roughly 52 km between San Salvador and Santa Ana, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
