Travelling around Andalusia
Heading to Granada (about 89 km) or Seville (156 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Morocco? Tangier is about 163 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Málaga
Can I watch my own films in Málaga?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Málaga or wherever you take them.
Does it work on slower connections around Málaga?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in Spain?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Will it work on the way to Granada?
It does. Between Málaga and Granada (about 89 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Málaga?
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.
Does it support Spanish and Catalan subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
