Questions from Lalitpur
Does it support Nepali subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Nepali or any other language.

Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (13:15–17:15 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Will it work on the way to Kathmandu?
It does. Between Lalitpur and Kathmandu (about 3 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.

Can I watch my own films in Lalitpur?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Lalitpur or wherever you take them.
Can I watch my films in India?
