Honestly, you’re supporting a chunk of her network by being a media provider in the first place. “It won’t play” doesn’t usually come with an assurance that it’s not a device or network issue.
Neither plex nor jellyfin seem remotely worth the effort to provide to others in my opinion, I just felt like sharing that there are ways to afford network protection to locked down devices.
It’s much easier for me to manage if it’s a file issue though. It’s much more difficult to manage an actual network 3000 miles away, especially if something actually goes wrong. Basically, “it won’t play” can be checked locally. If it doesn’t play locally, I’m happy to fix it. But I’m not about to troubleshoot her network issues for her.
Saying I’m “supporting a chunk of her network” is like saying Netflix supports a chunk of their users’ networks. It’s just not true.
Okay. You’re still doing tech support either way. I have no way of knowing how much free tech support you’re willing to give, hence my caveat of how much you’re willing to support them.
Netflix would disagree. People feel like they’re supposed to be getting access to a service, and if they’re not getting it they’ll complain to the nearest party to what isn’t working. In this case that’s you or Netflix being asked questions about why the router isn’t working.
That it’s wrong or irrational has nothing to do with who’s getting asked the question, and who’s the first line of troubleshooting when the service doesn’t work.
If people didn’t ask the wrong people questions, Netflix wouldn’t need support articles on how to reset your router.
