Questions from Nagoya
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes — the server stays at home in Nagoya and you watch from anywhere, including Busan about 716 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Will it work on the way to Kyoto?
Yes. On the roughly 106 km between Nagoya and Kyoto, 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 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 Nagoya?
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.
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Nagoya?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Nagoya, or 10:00–14:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
