Questions from Albuquerque
What does Silux Media cost in the United States?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
How much mobile data does a film use in Albuquerque?
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 Spanish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Will it work on the way to Phoenix?
It does. Between Albuquerque and Phoenix (about 530 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my own films in Albuquerque?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Albuquerque or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Albuquerque?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (02:00–06:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
