device limit... really ?

[judgey 13]

I been with emby a few years now but I'm getting "device limit reached" Why is there a limit what difference dose it make to "emby" how many devices I use?

 

Just so I know and understand because spending more money well not more money I mean a lot more money for extra devices sort of kills emby for me. 

 

I'm not kicking off i just want to understand why there is a limit, most of my devices were old browser logins and now you want a lot of money for more devices.

 

Thanks

Hi.  We are designed and licensed as a personal media server for a single household.  Our standard device limit is enough for the vast majority in that situation.  We do have some larger options if you wish but this is limited to a top end of 75.

The main reason for the limit is actually to discourage people from trying to use our platform for an illegal streaming solution.

@ebr curious if there is a way to reset shared devices or do devices cease being on the list if not used for a certain time?

They'll drop off the list after abt. week of inactivity.
