Questions from Fukuoka
Does it help on crowded city networks in Fukuoka?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Fukuoka?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Fukuoka.
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes — the server stays at home in Fukuoka and you watch from anywhere, including Busan about 210 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in Japan?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Fukuoka?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (10:00–14:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Fukuoka?
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.
