Questions from Haiphong

Can I watch my own films in Haiphong?

Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Haiphong, elsewhere in Hai Phong, or abroad.

What's the busiest time for streaming in Haiphong?

Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.

Does it help on crowded city networks in Haiphong?

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.

Will it work on the way to Hanoi?

Yes — the 89 km trip to Hanoi is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.

How much mobile data does a film use in Haiphong?

Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.

Can I watch my films in Laos?

Yes — the server stays at home in Haiphong and you watch from anywhere, including Luang Prabang about 484 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
