It’s like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it’s all too easy to just say “nah, I actually don’t want this anymore”.

    My family dropped netflix in Canada as soon as the password sharing change went into effect. I got a radarr + sonarr + jellyfin server all setup and even my parents can very easily find what they want and have it ready to go, they don’t miss netflix at all.

      We have a $23 plan with Netflix with 5 user profiles on it each from different locations and when the whole password sharing thing started and came into effect we thought “we’ll it was a nice run, Netflix”. Then the day came where we had to set the “main ip address” for the account and it’s been so weird. We all still have access to Netflix, each user literally uses a different ip address and 80% I’m on a vpn.🤷🏻‍♂️ 100% not complaining lol!!

        They were talking about for continued use the other people on your account would have to connect to your local network once a month to keep that device active. Easy with family member bringing over a laptop, difficult with a TV; unless you setup a vpn tunnel to your home router.

          Oh that’s odd. We haven’t done that at all and everything is working same as before the whole issue happened.

            It may take a lot of time for their system to run through everyones devices and determine if they are past due or something

      How easy was it to setup the server? I’m slightly tech savvy but server stuff has always kinda of alluded me.

        There are a ton of guides on how to setup an arr stack and Plex if your willing to spend some time figuring it out.

      Do you have people from outside your network accessing it? If yes, how are you habdling that?
