Questions from Tabuk
Can I watch my films in Jordan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Tabuk and you watch from anywhere, including Aqaba about 197 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Tabuk?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Tabuk, or 16:00–20:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Will it work on the way to Medina?
Yes. On the roughly 532 km between Tabuk and Medina, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
Can I watch my own films in Tabuk?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Tabuk.
Does it work on slower connections around Tabuk?
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.
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.
