What makes Surabaya different
As the capital of East Java, Surabaya has its own mix of connections. Surabaya has about 3 million residents, from dense centres with busy mobile networks to suburbs where home upload speed is what limits streaming.
Making a bundle last in Surabaya
In our measurements a film in full HD uses about 1.0 GB per hour on Silux Media, against 2.5–2.7 GB on Jellyfin and Plex for the same picture. A 5 GB mobile bundle in Surabaya lasts about 8 hours of 720p instead of 3.7.
Surabaya's time zone and viewing hours
Local time in Surabaya is UTC+7, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (12:00–16:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Surabaya has about 11 h 42 min–12 h 33 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.
Travelling around East Java
Heading to Malang (about 82 km) or Semarang (259 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Malaysia? Kuching is about 1015 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Surabaya
Will it work on the way to Malang?
It does. Between Surabaya and Malang (about 82 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my films in Malaysia?
Yes — the server stays at home in Surabaya and you watch from anywhere, including Kuching about 1015 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in Indonesia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Surabaya?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (12:00–16:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Surabaya?
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.
Does it support Indonesian subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
