Questions from Tripoli
Can I watch my films in Israel?
Anywhere, Israel included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
How much mobile data does a film use in Tripoli?
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 does Silux Media cost in Lebanon?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Will it work on the way to Beirut?
Yes. On the roughly 68 km between Tripoli and Beirut, 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.
Can I watch my own films in Tripoli?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Tripoli or wherever you take them.
Does it support Arabic and French subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
