Beyond Thiès
From Thiès it's about 57 km to Dakar. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Gambia? Banjul is about 153 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Thiès
Will it work on the way to Dakar?
Yes. On the roughly 57 km between Thiès and Dakar, 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.
What does Silux Media cost in Senegal?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Does it support French and Wolof subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .fr.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Can I watch my films in Gambia?
Yes. Over the border in Banjul (around 153 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Thiès.
Can I watch my own films in Thiès?
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 Thiès.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Thiès?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Thiès, or 19:00–23:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
