Questions from Mérida
Will it work on the way to Cancún?
Yes — the 289 km trip to Cancún is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Mérida?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Mérida?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
What does Silux Media cost in Mexico?
Free. Running the server at home in Mérida costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Spanish or any other language.
Can I watch my own films in Mérida?
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 Mérida.
