Questions from Bitola
Can I watch my films in Albania?
Anywhere, Albania included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Can I watch my own films in Bitola?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Bitola or wherever you take them.
Does it work on slower connections around Bitola?
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 North Macedonia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Bitola?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (18:00–22:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Does it support Macedonian and Albanian subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ma.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
