About streaming in Kyoto
Kyoto is a city in Japan. With about 1.5 million people, Kyoto has every kind of connection — and every kind of bottleneck.
On the move from Kyoto
From Kyoto it's about 43 km to Osaka. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into South Korea? Busan is about 612 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Same picture, less data: about 1.0 GB per HD hour, compared with 2.5–2.7 GB for Jellyfin and Plex in our live tests. That's the difference between a film finishing on mobile data in Kyoto or not.

Questions from Kyoto
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes — the server stays at home in Kyoto and you watch from anywhere, including Busan about 612 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
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.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Kyoto?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Kyoto?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Kyoto?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Kyoto, or 10:00–14:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Does it support Japanese subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Japanese or any other language.
