Palma, and the connections it runs on
As the capital of Balearic Islands, Palma has its own mix of connections. For a city of about 438,000 like Palma, home upload speed — not download — decides how well films play remotely.
How much data a film uses in Palma
Same picture, less data: about 1.0 GB per HD hour, compared with 2.5–2.7 GB for Jellyfin and Plex in our live tests. That's the difference between a film finishing on mobile data in Palma or not.
Beyond Palma
From Palma it's about 207 km to Barcelona. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Algeria? Algiers is about 318 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Palma
Can I watch my own films in Palma?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Palma, elsewhere in Balearic Islands, or abroad.
Does it work on slower connections around Palma?
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 Barcelona?
Yes — the 207 km trip to Barcelona is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Palma?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
What does Silux Media cost in Spain?
Free. Running the server at home in Palma costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my films in Algeria?
Anywhere, Algeria included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
