On the move from Karachi
Heading to Hyderabad (about 150 km) or Quetta (592 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? Ahmedabad is about 602 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Karachi
What does Silux Media cost in Pakistan?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Can I watch my films in India?
Yes. Over the border in Ahmedabad (around 602 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Karachi.
Will it work on the way to Hyderabad?
Yes. On the roughly 150 km between Karachi and Hyderabad, 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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Karachi?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Karachi?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Does it support Urdu, English and Punjabi subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Urdu, English and Punjabi or any other language.
