Travelling around Enugu State
Heading to Owerri (about 118 km) or Calabar (189 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
The closest city we cover outside Nigeria is Bamenda, Cameroon (about 297 km). Watching while roaming? Every gigabyte saved matters.

Questions from Enugu
How much mobile data does a film use in Enugu?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
Does it work on slower connections around Enugu?
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 does Silux Media cost in Nigeria?
Free. Running the server at home in Enugu costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Will it work on the way to Owerri?
Yes — the 118 km trip to Owerri is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Can I watch my films in Cameroon?
Yes — the server stays at home in Enugu and you watch from anywhere, including Bamenda about 297 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Does it support English, Hausa and Yoruba subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
