Questions from Kaunas
What does Silux Media cost in Lithuania?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Vilnius?
It does. Between Kaunas and Vilnius (about 91 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Long winter evenings in Kaunas — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
Can I watch my own films in Kaunas?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Kaunas.
How much mobile data does a film use in Kaunas?
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 work on slower connections around Kaunas?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
