Questions from Nottingham
Long winter evenings in Nottingham — 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.
Will it work on the way to Derby?
It does. Between Nottingham and Derby (about 22 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
What does Silux Media cost in the United Kingdom?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in GBP on our website — never inside the apps.
Does it work on slower connections around Nottingham?
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.
Can I watch my films in Ireland?
Yes — the server stays at home in Nottingham and you watch from anywhere, including Dublin about 343 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
Does it support English and Welsh subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English and Welsh or any other language.
