Questions from Lviv
What's the busiest time for streaming in Lviv?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (17:00–21:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
What does Silux Media cost in Ukraine?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in EUR on our website — never inside the apps.
How much mobile data does a film use in Lviv?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Long winter evenings in Lviv — 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.
Does it support Ukrainian subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .uk.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Can I watch my films in Poland?
Yes — the server stays at home in Lviv and you watch from anywhere, including Lublin about 188 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
