Questions from Khobar
Can I watch my own films in Khobar?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Khobar or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Khobar?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (16:00–20:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Does it support Arabic and English subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ar.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Will it work on the way to Dammam?
It does. Between Khobar and Dammam (about 20 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it work on slower connections around Khobar?
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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Khobar?
