Questions from Mashhad
Does it help on crowded city networks in Mashhad?
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.
Can I watch my films in Turkmenistan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Mashhad and you watch from anywhere, including Ashgabat about 213 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in Iran?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Tehran?
It does. Between Mashhad and Tehran (about 739 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Mashhad?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (15:30–19:30 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Does it support Persian subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .pe.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
