Does it support Polish subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Polish or any other language.
How much mobile data does a film use in Poznań?
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.
Long winter evenings in Poznań — 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.
Can I watch my films in Germany?
Yes — the server stays at home in Poznań and you watch from anywhere, including Berlin about 239 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in Poland?
Free. Running the server at home in Poznań costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Does it work on slower connections around Poznań?
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.
