On the move from Tangier
Heading to Fez (about 206 km) or Rabat (217 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.

Questions from Tangier
Can I watch my films in Spain?
Yes. Over the border in Málaga (around 163 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Tangier.
What does Silux Media cost in Morocco?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.
Can I watch my own films in Tangier?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Tangier, elsewhere in Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, or abroad.
Will it work on the way to Fez?
Yes. On the roughly 206 km between Tangier and Fez, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
How much mobile data does a film use in Tangier?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Tangier?
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.
