Questions from Agadez
Can I watch my films in Nigeria?
Anywhere, Nigeria included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it support French and Hausa subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .fr.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Does it work on slower connections around Agadez?
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 Agadez?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Agadez, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Will it work on the way to Zinder?
Yes. On the roughly 368 km between Agadez and Zinder, 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.
What does Silux Media cost in Niger?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
