Questions from Daejeon

Does it help on crowded city networks in Daejeon?

Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.

Can I watch my own films in Daejeon?

Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Daejeon, elsewhere in South Korea, or abroad.

Does it support Korean subtitles?

Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.

What's the busiest time for streaming in Daejeon?

Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (10:00–14:00 UTC), 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 South Korea?

The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.

Can I watch my films in Japan?

Yes — the server stays at home in Daejeon and you watch from anywhere, including Fukuoka about 412 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
