DLNA - User Selection

Hoping the team can implement a 'Select user' option for DLNA devices.

 

Basically hoping that if you went into a DLNA enabled device, there would be a 'Settings' section to select, where you can change user. This would change the user associated with that device (even if its just for that session)

 

Understand this would require some special coding, but being able to change the current user on the fly would be very cool

The presentation is controlled by the device, not us, so that's what makes this difficult. 

 

That is why we have Emby apps.

You can assign a user library to the DLNA profile that applies to that device, but you have to change it at the server for each user.

Thanks. Know you can change it on the server, but obviously on the fly would be handy for shared devices.

 

I have some TV's in alternate rooms that don't have an 'EMBY app' enabled device connected so the DLNA connection is great. I thought it might be possible to when hitting a specific DLNA endpoint make a note in the server to change the displayed user. I'm sure I've seen similar config through DLNA on PlayOn
