Travelling around Central Serbia
Heading to Belgrade (about 201 km) or Novi Sad (270 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.

Questions from Niš
What does Silux Media cost in Serbia?
Free. Running the server at home in Niš costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Long winter evenings in Niš — 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 own films in Niš?
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 Niš.

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.
Does it work on slower connections around Niš?
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.
