Beroli 6 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Prior to all the changes for the vulnerability issue being made on May 25, my husband and I were able to navigate to the top of the Emby screen on our fire TV, select the current logged on user, drop down to switch user, and select the other Emby user to easily switch between our individual user accounts on the same Emby server. We no longer have this option. Now all we can select is logout, switch server, and unlock app. This is an extremely annoying loss of functionality. At this point, the only solution we see to not have to type our user name and password every time we want to switch who is watching Emby is to attach a second Firestick to the same TV and use separate devices to access separate Emby users. Seems extreme. We are using Emby server 4.7.12.0 and Emby fire TV app 2.0.79a. We deleted and reinstalled the fire TV app. is anyone else having this problem with fire TV. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the switch user function back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14917 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hi. Check your user settings on the server and make sure that the option to show both users on login screens is enabled. My guess is one of the accounts is an admin and the other isn't. You might also consider creating a separate admin account and hide this one from login screens.

Beroli 6 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Thanks for the suggestion. Problem solved. Weird thing is that I have always had the hide check marks turned on but I used to be able to switch between them. They are both admin users. Good suggestion to create a separate admin user for server and to make these both non-admin users. I will do that next. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
