Mid-winter in Szczecin brings only about 7 h 29 min of daylight (against 17 h 1 min in summer), so evenings at home are long.

Questions from Szczecin
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Szczecin?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Szczecin?
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 support Polish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Will it work on the way to Poznań?
It does. Between Szczecin and Poznań (about 196 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my films in Germany?
Yes. Over the border in Berlin (around 126 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Szczecin.
