Questions from Zamboanga
What does Silux Media cost in the Philippines?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Malaysia?
Anywhere, Malaysia included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Zamboanga?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (11:00–15:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my own films in Zamboanga?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Zamboanga, elsewhere in Zamboanga Peninsula, or abroad.
Does it support Filipino and English subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .fi.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Zamboanga?
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.
