Questions from Novi Sad
Does it work on slower connections around Novi Sad?
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.
Will it work on the way to Belgrade?
It does. Between Novi Sad and Belgrade (about 70 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Long winter evenings in Novi Sad — 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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Novi Sad?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in Serbia?
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 Novi Sad?
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.
