Questions from Łódź
Will it work on the way to Warsaw?
Yes — the 117 km trip to Warsaw is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
Can I watch my films in Czech Republic?
Yes — the server stays at home in Łódź and you watch from anywhere, including Ostrava about 231 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Long winter evenings in Łódź — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Łódź?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Łódź?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
