What makes Turin different
Turin is the capital of Piedmont. Turin is a city of about 847,000, where many homes stream on ordinary broadband with modest upload speeds.
When Turin sits down to watch
Turin 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 Turin brings only about 8 h 45 min of daylight (against 15 h 38 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Turin
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.
Does it work on slower connections around Turin?
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.
Long winter evenings in Turin — 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 does Silux Media cost in Italy?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Genoa?
It does. Between Turin and Genoa (about 124 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my films in France?
Yes — the server stays at home in Turin and you watch from anywhere, including Nice about 156 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
