About streaming in Stuttgart
As the capital of Baden-Wurttemberg, Stuttgart has its own mix of connections. For a city of about 613,000 like Stuttgart, home upload speed — not download — decides how well films play remotely.
Stuttgart's time zone and viewing hours
Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart brings only about 8 h 15 min of daylight (against 16 h 10 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Stuttgart
What does Silux Media cost in Germany?
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 Stuttgart — 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.
Does it support German subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Can I watch my films in France?
Anywhere, France included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
How much mobile data does a film use in Stuttgart?
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 Frankfurt?
Yes. On the roughly 152 km between Stuttgart and Frankfurt, 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.
