Questions from Tel Aviv
Does it support Hebrew and Arabic subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .he.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Tel Aviv?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Tel Aviv, or 17:00–21:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Will it work on the way to Jerusalem?
Yes. On the roughly 54 km between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, 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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Tel Aviv?
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.
Does it work on slower connections around Tel Aviv?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
Can I watch my films in Jordan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Tel Aviv and you watch from anywhere, including Amman about 111 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
