About streaming in Shiraz
As the capital of Fars, Shiraz has its own mix of connections. With about 1.2 million people, Shiraz has every kind of connection — and every kind of bottleneck.
At about 1,545 m above sea level, hills and valleys around Shiraz can block mobile signal — quality steps down instead of stopping.

Questions from Shiraz
Will it work on the way to Isfahan?
Yes. On the roughly 348 km between Shiraz and Isfahan, 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.
Does it work at altitude around Shiraz?
The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.
Can I watch my own films in Shiraz?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Shiraz or wherever you take them.
Does it support Persian subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Shiraz?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Shiraz?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Shiraz, or 15:30–19:30 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
