Questions from Yangon
Can I watch my own films in Yangon?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Yangon, elsewhere in Myanmar, or abroad.
What does Silux Media cost in Myanmar?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
How much mobile data does a film use in Yangon?
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.
Does it support Burmese subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Will it work on the way to Naypyidaw?
It does. Between Yangon and Naypyidaw (about 327 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Yangon?
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.
