When Malmö sits down to watch
Local time in Malmö is UTC+1, moving to UTC+2 for summer. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (18:00–22:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Daylight in Malmö swings from about 7 h 2 min in mid-winter to 17 h 31 min in mid-summer — long winter evenings are film evenings.
How much data a film uses in Malmö
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 Malmö or not.
Beyond Malmö

Crossing into Denmark? Copenhagen is about 28 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Malmö
How much mobile data does a film use in Malmö?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
Can I watch my films in Denmark?
Yes. Over the border in Copenhagen (around 28 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Malmö.
Long winter evenings in Malmö — will a NAS or old PC cope?
Yes. Silux Media runs on ordinary computers and can prepare lean versions of your library overnight at low priority, so several people can watch on dark evenings without a powerful machine.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Malmö?
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.
Can I watch my own films in Malmö?
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 Malmö.
Does it support Swedish subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .sw.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
