Questions from Chiang Mai
What's the busiest time for streaming in Chiang Mai?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (12:00–16:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my films in Myanmar?
Anywhere, Myanmar included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Can I watch my own films in Chiang Mai?
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 Chiang Mai.
Will it work on the way to Bangkok?
It does. Between Chiang Mai and Bangkok (about 583 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it work on slower connections around Chiang Mai?
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.
Does it support Thai subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in Thai or any other language.
