What if PaceFi or PaceFlix will not open?

Tailscale is switched off on that device. Turn its switch on and start the app again.

Who gives out the Tailscale sign-in?

Pace does. Ask in person or by text.

Do the apps work away from home?

Yes, with Tailscale on. Films stream at full size, so they play best on home Wi-Fi.

Who can see the photos in PacePix?

Only signed-in family devices. Any other device gets no answer at all.

Does PaceFlix play on a TV?

Yes. The LG TVs at home play it through the Jellyfin app, with the same resume point.
