DLNA - Allow no access for devices with no profiles

[anderbytes 140]

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.

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?

@@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?

You can already achieve the same thing by manually restricting device access for users.

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.
