anderbytes 140 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Hi. Today when some device is connected to the internal network, it can access Emby media server as if was the "Default User" chosen in DLNA > SETTINGS , if the device doesn't have a matching custom profile. Inside that combo box, it lists all Emby users, but it lacks the option to "No access" in this combo, because I want to restrict DLNA access only to already authorized devices. I don't want guests at my home being able to watch my media without my consentiment. Edited July 24, 2016 by anderbytes
marc_al 5 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hello, Why don't you create a user "NoAccess" that has access to no media (and that is the default one?)
anderbytes 140 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 Hello, Why don't you create a user "NoAccess" that has access to no media (and that is the default one?) I thought of that but this would be a very non-elegant solution for the problem, and because it´s one more users to appears in any listings (for no reason), and maybe be source of some future problems. I know that would work, but it's not the correct way of denying guests access to DLNA, u understand?
anderbytes 140 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 @@Luke, you had no opinion about this last year at the time. Should I consider it a negative response or you just haven't seen it?
Luke 39987 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 You can already achieve the same thing by manually restricting device access for users.
anderbytes 140 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Not for DLNA. I can just plug in any device on my network and browser the server on the "default user" as I wish. This is bad with guests in my network. Edited May 25, 2017 by anderbytes
