Questions from San Antonio
Can I watch my own films in San Antonio?
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 San Antonio.
Does it help on crowded city networks in San Antonio?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
What's the busiest time for streaming in San Antonio?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (01:00–05:00 UTC in winter), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Will it work on the way to Austin?
It does. Between San Antonio and Austin (about 118 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Can I watch my films in Mexico?
Yes — the server stays at home in San Antonio and you watch from anywhere, including Monterrey about 453 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
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.
