Questions from Cork
What does Silux Media cost in Ireland?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
Can I watch my own films in Cork?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Cork, elsewhere in Munster, or abroad.
How much mobile data does a film use in Cork?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Will it work on the way to Limerick?
Yes. On the roughly 86 km between Cork and Limerick, 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.
Long winter evenings in Cork — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Cork?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Cork, or 19:00–23:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
