Questions from Yokohama
Can I watch my films in South Korea?
Yes. Over the border in Busan (around 964 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Yokohama.
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Yokohama?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Yokohama, or 10:00–14:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
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 Yokohama?
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.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Yokohama?
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.
