About streaming in Lille
Lille is the capital of Hauts-de-France. Lille is a town of about 239,000; beyond the centre, home lines get slower and mobile signal varies from place to place.
When Lille sits down to watch
Lille is on UTC+1 (UTC+2 in summer). The usual evening viewing hours, 19:00–23:00 local time, are 18:00–22:00 UTC in winter — when networks everywhere are busiest.
Mid-winter in Lille brings only about 7 h 58 min of daylight (against 16 h 29 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Lille
How much mobile data does a film use in Lille?
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.
Does it support French subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .fr.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What does Silux Media cost in France?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
Long winter evenings in Lille — 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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Lille?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Lille, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Will it work on the way to Reims?
Yes. On the roughly 167 km between Lille and Reims, 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.
