Travelling around Khartoum
Heading to Khartoum (about 12 km) or Port Sudan (669 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into Ethiopia? Gondar is about 636 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Omdurman
How much mobile data does a film use in Omdurman?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Can I watch my films in Ethiopia?
Yes. Over the border in Gondar (around 636 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Omdurman.
Can I watch my own films in Omdurman?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Omdurman, elsewhere in Khartoum, or abroad.
Will it work on the way to Khartoum?
It does. Between Omdurman and Khartoum (about 12 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Omdurman?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (17:00–21:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Does it support Arabic and English subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
