Questions from Inverness
Can I watch my own films in Inverness?
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 Inverness.
How much mobile data does a film use in Inverness?
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.
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.
Can I watch my films in Ireland?
Anywhere, Ireland included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to Aberdeen?
It does. Between Inverness and Aberdeen (about 133 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Inverness?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (19:00–23:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
