What does Silux Media cost in Hungary?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it support Hungarian subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .hu.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.

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.

Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (18:00–22:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
