Questions from Casablanca
Does it help on crowded city networks in Casablanca?
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.
Does it support Arabic, French and Berber subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ar.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Casablanca?
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.
Will it work on the way to Rabat?
Yes — the 86 km trip to Rabat is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What does Silux Media cost in Morocco?
Free. Running the server at home in Casablanca costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my films in Portugal?
Anywhere, Portugal included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
