Questions from Brighton
Does it support English and Welsh subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
Long winter evenings in Brighton — 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 the United Kingdom?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in GBP.
Will it work on the way to London?
Yes. On the roughly 76 km between Brighton and London, 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.

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.
