Questions from New Orleans
Does it work on slower connections around New Orleans?
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 Mexico?
Anywhere, Mexico included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Does it support English and Spanish subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English and Spanish or any other language.
Can I watch my own films in New Orleans?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in New Orleans, elsewhere in Louisiana, or abroad.
How much mobile data does a film use in New Orleans?
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.
Will it work on the way to Houston?
It does. Between New Orleans and Houston (about 510 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
