On the move from Lausanne
Heading to Geneva (about 51 km) or Bern (79 km)? Your library goes with you — the server stays at home and the app adapts as the signal changes on the way.
Crossing into France? Lyon is about 162 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Lausanne
Can I watch my films in France?
Anywhere, France included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Can I watch my own films in Lausanne?
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 Lausanne.
What does Silux Media cost in Switzerland?
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 work on slower connections around Lausanne?
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.
Will it work on the way to Geneva?
Yes. On the roughly 51 km between Lausanne and Geneva, 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.
How much mobile data does a film use in Lausanne?
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.
