Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in EUR.

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.

Can I watch my films in Portugal?

Anywhere, Portugal included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.

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.

How much mobile data does a film use in Seville?
