Travelling around Punjab
Heading to Gujranwala (about 50 km) or Lahore (105 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? Amritsar is about 102 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Sialkot
What's the busiest time for streaming in Sialkot?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Sialkot, or 14:00–18:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Does it work on slower connections around Sialkot?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Sialkot?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Sialkot, elsewhere in Punjab, or abroad.
Does it support Urdu, English and Punjabi subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
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.
Will it work on the way to Gujranwala?
Yes. On the roughly 50 km between Sialkot and Gujranwala, 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.
