Questions from Košice
Will it work on the way to Bratislava?
Yes. On the roughly 313 km between Košice and Bratislava, 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's the busiest time for streaming in Košice?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Košice, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Can I watch my own films in Košice?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Košice or wherever you take them.
Long winter evenings in Košice — 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.
Does it work on slower connections around Košice?
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 Slovak subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .sl.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
