What makes Tokyo different
With about 9.7 million people, Tokyo is one of the largest cities on Earth — and its mobile networks are shared by millions at the same time. Tokyo is the capital of Japan.
On the move from Tokyo
Heading to Kawasaki (about 19 km) or Yokohama (29 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 968 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Mobile data in Tokyo
In our measurements a film in full HD uses about 1.0 GB per hour on Silux Media, against 2.5–2.7 GB on Jellyfin and Plex for the same picture. A 5 GB mobile bundle in Tokyo lasts about 8 hours of 720p instead of 3.7.
Evenings in Tokyo
Local time in Tokyo is UTC+9, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (10:00–14:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Tokyo gets about 9 h 44 min of daylight in mid-winter and 14 h 35 min in mid-summer.
Questions from Tokyo
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes. Over the border in Busan (around 968 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Tokyo.
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.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Tokyo?
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 Tokyo?
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.
Does it support Japanese subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Japanese or any other language.
Will it work on the way to Kawasaki?
It does. Between Tokyo and Kawasaki (about 19 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
