Beyond Monterrey

Questions from Monterrey
Will it work on the way to León?
It does. Between Monterrey and León (about 526 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in Mexico?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Monterrey?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (01:00–05:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my own films in Monterrey?
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 Monterrey.
Can I watch my films in United States?
Yes — the server stays at home in Monterrey and you watch from anywhere, including San Antonio about 453 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Does it support Spanish subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .sp.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
