About streaming in Tunis
Tunis is the capital of Tunisia. For a city of about 693,000 like Tunis, home upload speed — not download — decides how well films play remotely.
How much data a film uses in Tunis
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 Tunis or not.
Beyond Tunis
From Tunis it's about 118 km to Sousse. Wherever you are on the journey, your films stream from your own server at home.
Crossing into Italy? Palermo is about 317 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Tunis
Does it work on slower connections around Tunis?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in Tunisia?
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 support Arabic and French subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ar.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Can I watch my films in Italy?
Anywhere, Italy included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
How much mobile data does a film use in Tunis?
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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Tunis?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Tunis, or 18:00–22:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
