Beyond Marrakesh
Heading to Agadir (about 203 km) or Casablanca (220 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Portugal? Faro is about 599 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Marrakesh
Can I watch my own films in Marrakesh?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Marrakesh or wherever you take them.
Can I watch my films in Portugal?
Anywhere, Portugal included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What does Silux Media cost in Morocco?
Free. Running the server at home in Marrakesh costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Will it work on the way to Agadir?
Yes — the 203 km trip to Agadir is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Marrakesh?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Marrakesh?
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.
