About streaming in Khartoum
As the capital of Sudan, Khartoum has its own mix of connections. With about 2 million people, Khartoum has every kind of connection — and every kind of bottleneck.
On the move from Khartoum
From Khartoum it's about 12 km to Omdurman. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Ethiopia? Gondar is about 625 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Khartoum
Does it help on crowded city networks in Khartoum?
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.
Will it work on the way to Omdurman?
Yes. On the roughly 12 km between Khartoum and Omdurman, 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 does Silux Media cost in Sudan?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
Can I watch my own films in Khartoum?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Khartoum.
How much mobile data does a film use in Khartoum?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Khartoum?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Khartoum, or 17:00–21:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
