What makes Puebla different

Puebla is a city in Mexico. With about 1.7 million people, Puebla has every kind of connection — and every kind of bottleneck.

Puebla sits at roughly 2,166 m; in mountain terrain the signal comes and goes, and adaptive streaming keeps the film going.

Making a bundle last in Puebla

Same picture, less data: about 1.0 GB per HD hour, compared with 2.5–2.7 GB for Jellyfin and Plex in our live tests. That's the difference between a film finishing on mobile data in Puebla or not.

Crossing into Guatemala? Quetzaltenango is about 851 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Puebla

Does it support Spanish subtitles?

Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.

How much mobile data does a film use in Puebla?

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 Mexico?

The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.

Does it work at altitude around Puebla?

The altitude doesn't matter to the server — but mountain terrain makes mobile signal patchy, and adaptive quality keeps films playing through it.

Can I watch my own films in Puebla?

Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Puebla or wherever you take them.

Will it work on the way to Mexico City?

It does. Between Puebla and Mexico City (about 105 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
