Questions from Pune
Can I watch my own films in Pune?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Pune, elsewhere in Maharashtra, or abroad.
Does it support Hindi, English and Bengali subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Hindi, English and Bengali or any other language.
Can I watch my films in Pakistan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Pune and you watch from anywhere, including Hyderabad about 950 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Pune?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Will it work on the way to Mumbai?
Yes. On the roughly 119 km between Pune and Mumbai, 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.
What does Silux Media cost in India?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
