weyb 20 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hello, connected with my principal user to emby server, I created a 2nd user ("kids") with the GUI. I can see it, I could declare the libraries it will access ("cartoons"), and when I connect to Emby server with this "kids" user, it's ok, i see the cartoons' posters. But when I go to Kodi, i don't see this user, & when i click on "ON/OFF" on the upper left on the screen to change the connected user, i can only "quit" I have the 18.9 kodi version, and the 4.1.21 by angelblue05 emby version in kodi ??? thank you very much in advance for your help !

Luke 29001 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi, the user might be hidden from login screens via user permissions, so i would check that in emby server. But even with that, you can always manually enter the username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 20 Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 hi, yes, on emby server i can log in manually, but i was speaking about the v18.9 kodi interface where i can only log with my admin user (there is no choice) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weyb 20 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi, I modifyied this option but it's still the same, there's no other user available in kodi when i click on the button to quit kodi regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 699 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just checking, cause this is a common mistake. When the users selection box is visible, I assume you have 3 users in the grid, right? Have you tried go even further in the user selection box? -> browse even more to the right side? It's a scrolling box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 20 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hi, i don't understand WHERE are/is the "users selection box"... on Emby server or on Kodi - or on Emby-for-Kodi plugin ? I created only 2 users in Emby server : - weyb (which is admin) - kids (which is not), ...hoping that I could choose one of these in kodi (but I don't have any choice in Kodi...) regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 699 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) Works fine on my test system. Have you set a password for the kids account? And what about the "device access" setting? Is it set to "all"? Also what about the option "Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely", "Hide this user from login screens on the local network" and "Hide this user from login screens on devices they've never signed into" Are you using Kodi user profiles?

weyb 20 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hi ! here below my answers : - no password for "kids" (i checked : i could log without entering nya pwd) - ? i don't see where this setting is in french i have smthg like "allow the remote control of shared devices" on the "profile" page (which is not checked), and smthg like "allow access from all devices" on the "access" page (which is checked) - all 3 "hide" options are not checked - i don't know if i use kodi user profiles (i don't think so), as i connected on kodi once, a long time ago, with the "emby..." window asking my password regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 20 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Hello ! I tried something : - i uninstalled emby for kodi, choosing to erase all parameters stored, & installed it again - i tried to log with Emby Connect (as it is proposed automatically) but i couldn't, it says that either my login or my pwd is incorrect - but i'm sure to type the right ones - so i wanted to check & log to http://app.emby.media on my PC (with other credentials), but i got the same message --> i think the fact that my credentials are all incorrect is very strange ! I tried also to get my previous Emby Connect password clicking on "forgotten password" many hours ago, but I never received an email so i tried to create a new account, but i didn't receive the confirmation email and now i can't log on this forum from my default browser, because i can only have the page "please confirm your email", i've got to use an other browser... there must be smthg... could someone help me please ? regards Edited November 7, 2021 by weyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 699 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 @Luke can you please advise. Seems not Kodi specific as http://app.emby.media is also not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weyb 20 Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I remember that the Emby server auto-discovery didn't find any Emby server, I had to type all manually my Kodi @IP is 192....1.20, on the same local network as my NAS, which is ...1.11 after that... I don't remember (i tried so many things this afternoon)... & now my TV is not available anymore as my wife is watching TV EDIT : as my TV was "free", i tried again to type manually the emby server in the Emby server auto-discovery window --> this time, it found my "diskstation" NAS name, it asked me to select the server, and then I had to choose between my 2 users !!! so i logged with the main user - the password was accepted ! and now it is syncing !!! i don't know what happened this afternoon... i'll wait the end of the sync & will see if i can change the user without quitting kodi - which is the purpose of this thread since the beginning... regards !!!
