damian 6 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi All, I would love the ability to share a single movie or show with someone. Maybe an email could be sent to the person you want to share it to with the URL and a temp username and password. After a certain amount of time the access would be revoked or after the person has watched it. I know you can share a library but its always awkward when you share a library for someone to use so see a show or movie. Its like OK so you've seen it now I'm going to remove your access because I don't want you mooching off my setup. Don't know just a thought, You could call the feature ShareOne or something like that! Thanks, Damian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 418 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 +1 Share links similar to dropbox would be sweet. Simply create a share link for the item you want, and visiting that link opens the media player and begins playback directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14898 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sorry, but this is something we cannot do. We would be forced out of every app store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbes 430 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Because then this would become a media and a file-sharing app, without any possible way to check if there is no copyright infringement. Emby could then be considered helping piracy instead of being an media management and entertainment system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1113 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Although not ideal but you could create a library with only a single movie and share that with a guest account. Once they had watched the one movie there would be no reason for them to continue using the account so you could delete the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untoten 295 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 You should support LDAP/SSO, then you could share specific URL's with basic auth permission (workaround).https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/26495-centralized-authentication-functionality-ldapssohtml-header/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
