Local time in Uppsala 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 Uppsala swings from about 5 h 55 min in mid-winter to 18 h 49 min in mid-summer — long winter evenings are film evenings.

Questions from Uppsala
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.
Can I watch my own films in Uppsala?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Uppsala, elsewhere in Sweden, or abroad.
Will it work on the way to Stockholm?
It does. Between Uppsala and Stockholm (about 64 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Long winter evenings in Uppsala — 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 does Silux Media cost in Sweden?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Finland?
Yes. Over the border in Turku (around 264 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Uppsala.
