Questions from Austin
Does it work on slower connections around Austin?
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.
Does it support English and Spanish 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.
Will it work on the way to San Antonio?
Yes. On the roughly 118 km between Austin and San Antonio, 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.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Austin?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Austin, or 01:00–05:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
How much mobile data does a film use in Austin?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
What does Silux Media cost in the United States?
Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
