Questions from Trujillo
What does Silux Media cost in Peru?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it support Spanish and Quechua subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Trujillo?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Will it work on the way to Lima?
It does. Between Trujillo and Lima (about 489 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Trujillo?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (00:00–04:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Trujillo?
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.
