Beyond Pokhara
Heading to Kathmandu (about 147 km) or Lalitpur (148 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into India? Patna is about 319 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Pokhara
What does Silux Media cost in Nepal?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it support Nepali subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ne.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Does it work on slower connections around Pokhara?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Pokhara?
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 Pokhara and Kathmandu (about 147 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Pokhara?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Pokhara or wherever you take them.
