What makes Tehran different
As the capital of Iran, Tehran has its own mix of connections. Tehran is home to about 7.2 million people, so evening cell traffic is heavy: exactly when a stream needs to stay smooth.
On the move from Tehran
The nearest other cities we cover are Karaj (42 km), Qom (127 km) and Isfahan (339 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Azerbaijan? Baku is about 538 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Tehran
Can I watch my films in Azerbaijan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Tehran and you watch from anywhere, including Baku about 538 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.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Tehran?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Tehran?
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 Persian subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Persian or any other language.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Tehran?
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.
