Hi All, We need to disable a restricted user from changing my preferences, or to move this icon all together, is there as way to do this? Many thanks Nathaniel

Hi, I am testing Media Browser 3 in a school network environment, it is working very well with over 50 users signed up, we need to find a way to restrict/disable the user from changing their password, username and profile details. Is there a way of implementing this, once we have this setup this will be used for over 1500 users, on laptops, tablets, phones, DNLA devices and computers, so this is a very good testing ground. I look forward to hearing your suggestions. Many thanks Nathaniel

Using the web client to watch Movies & TV Shows, is it possible to select which Users are present so that Media Browser Server can update both User’s Watched status? If not is it possible that I can create three accounts, “Lee”, “Stephanie” & “Lee & Stephanie”, then have any Movie or TV Show marked as Watched in the joint account copied over to both users? Kind Regards, Lee

Last night I created a few new users in the web interface and unchecked some of the options (like "can administer the server", etc.) but after saving them I noticed that the "administrator" icon was showing in the users list. Going back to the individual user and all check boxes were checked. Un-checking them and saving them again fixed the issue. On a side note - I think it would be helpful to have a back arrow button at the top of the individual user screen to get back to the users list. It's not immediately obvious that you have to click on the "Users" item in the menu.

Hi, I have my kids set up with limited accounts so they cannot see most of the movies I have, Also, they are set up to not be able to remotely control anything. The parental account has a password, and his does not. However, when my son has the app running on the iPad (it works, even though it's the iPhone app), he can see what the parents are watching and also remotely edit that. The dashboard session showed him logged in as "parents" but the app clearly showed he was logged in as himself. When I logged him out and in, the dashboard updated to show his name, but he could still see what we were watching. Any ideas why this would happen? I take it that this is not intentional behaviour?

Hello this is for the developers, first, GOOD JOB, clean nice, un-cluttered web interface/client. Server is coming along nicely as well! I will be donating again, I don't give money for software often, especially free software. questions: 1. How secure is the web client interface.. I have not dug yet, but I plan to use media browser as a subsonic replacement. I want to give users access to my server. But I don't want to open any huge security holes. As developers you know the back end well, what could you do from my web client with no login? and/or what could you do with a standard user login? 2. The media scanning seems to crash out often... it always says "stopping" at random times, no errors in logs, service just seems to restart. Also i have set the scheduled trigger to once a day at 1am and i'm finding the server scanning at random times throughout the day still... i removed all other triggers, all that remains is the new daily trigger. 3. i would like to customize the web interface that the media browser team has already worked so hard to perfect... Like, add my own logo on the dashboard.. Is this possible? or do i have to tear down the program and re compile? (again didn't dig to far yet... didn't look through directories and see what is available for playing) 4. Feature Request: A download button, so (myself of course) can download my media remotely via a web client? MEDIA: MP3's 142,404 (no doubled songs for one album) Music Videos 12,476 Movies uncompressed mpeg 310 (just started last year with movies!)

Brought this over from the old forums since I think there was a fair bit of interest: I've created a user that I want to have so that I can show off my collection to friends online using the MB3 web view. I’d like to be able to disable the ability for them to play the media either in the browser or remotely, i.e. they can only view the collection. If possible, I’d also like to disable this user from appearing in the clients. Thanks, Scott
