About streaming in Toulouse
As the capital of Occitanie, Toulouse has its own mix of connections. Around 512,000 people live in Toulouse; outside the centre, connections thin out quickly.
Toulouse's time zone and viewing hours
Toulouse 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 Toulouse brings only about 8 h 56 min of daylight (against 15 h 26 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Toulouse
Can I watch my own films in Toulouse?
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 Toulouse.
How much mobile data does a film use in Toulouse?
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.
Long winter evenings in Toulouse — 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.
Will it work on the way to Montpellier?
Yes. On the roughly 196 km between Toulouse and Montpellier, 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.
Can I watch my films in Spain?
Anywhere, Spain included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
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.
