Questions from Gdańsk
Can I watch my films in Lithuania?
Anywhere, Lithuania included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Gdańsk?
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 work on slower connections around Gdańsk?
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 Poland?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it support Polish subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .po.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Can I watch my own films in Gdańsk?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Gdańsk, elsewhere in Pomerania, or abroad.
