About streaming in Hiroshima
As a city in Japan, Hiroshima has its own mix of connections. Hiroshima has about 1.2 million residents, from dense centres with busy mobile networks to suburbs where home upload speed is what limits streaming.

Beyond Hiroshima
Heading to Fukuoka (about 207 km) or Kobe (252 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into South Korea? Busan is about 322 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Hiroshima
Does it support Japanese subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ja.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
How much mobile data does a film use in Hiroshima?
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.
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes. Over the border in Busan (around 322 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Hiroshima.
What does Silux Media cost in Japan?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Will it work on the way to Fukuoka?
Yes. On the roughly 207 km between Hiroshima and Fukuoka, 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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Hiroshima?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Hiroshima, or 10:00–14:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
