Questions from Irbid
Can I watch my own films in Irbid?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Irbid, elsewhere in Jordan, or abroad.
Can I watch my films in Israel?
Yes. Over the border in Haifa (around 85 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Irbid.
What does Silux Media cost in Jordan?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Zarqa?
It does. Between Irbid and Zarqa (about 58 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Irbid?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (16:00–20:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Irbid?
