About streaming in Genoa
Genoa is the capital of Liguria. For a city of about 580,000 like Genoa, home upload speed — not download — decides how well films play remotely.
When Genoa sits down to watch
Genoa is on UTC+1 (UTC+2 in summer). The usual evening viewing hours, 19:00–23:00 local time, are 18:00–22:00 UTC in winter — when networks everywhere are busiest.
Mid-winter in Genoa brings only about 8 h 50 min of daylight (against 15 h 32 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Genoa
Does it support Italian subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .it.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Long winter evenings in Genoa — 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.
Can I watch my films in France?
Anywhere, France included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Genoa?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Genoa, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
How much mobile data does a film use in Genoa?
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 Milan?
Yes. On the roughly 119 km between Genoa and Milan, 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.
