Questions from Addu City
Does it work on slower connections around Addu City?
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.
Will it work on the way to Malé?
It does. Between Addu City and Malé (about 533 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Addu City?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in the Maldives?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Over the border in Galle (around 1083 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Addu City.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Addu City?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (14:00–18:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
