Incorporating an "Access Denied" message

[geotux 4]

Hi,

 

I can't stop praising the Emby community for the excellent work they are doing. THe more I use Emby the more I like it. I'm hoping that through my testing and feedback i can contribute that little to the community.

 

I have a problem which is think is a missing functionality rather than an issue itself. The problem occurs both with my Android app and with the web client. Basically, I set an access schedule for my son so that he doesn't watch movie when he is suppose to be sleeping. All fine to this point.

 

THen, when i log on with the son's account and I am trying to do this outside the planned access schedule, I don't get any error message "You are not allowed to use Emby outside these hours ....". In the webclient it just keeps looping to the login window while the android app just hangs and keeps you waiting while nothing happens. In some instances, the Android app crashed and every other time i had to kill it. Surely this is because the server is not passing the right message to the app, something like "dear server, please let me in" and the server doesn't reply "oh, sorry you can't" so the app keeps waiting for an answer? Would this seems a correct interpretation. The logs are clearly recording what is happening (see below).

 

Wouldn't it be sensible to get the server to post a reply to the app trying to access so that the person doesn't wait to infinity for something to happen?

 

Cheers

Yes it would make sense. The way it is now it was a quick and easy addition to incorporate. An improvement would be to go through each of the apps and add friendly error messages.
