Questions from Curepipe
Does it work on slower connections around Curepipe?
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.
Can I watch my films in Madagascar?
Yes — the server stays at home in Curepipe and you watch from anywhere, including Toamasina about 886 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
How much mobile data does a film use in Curepipe?
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.
Will it work on the way to Port Louis?
It does. Between Curepipe and Port Louis (about 17 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Curepipe?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Curepipe or wherever you take them.
What does Silux Media cost in Mauritius?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
