dansblackcat 37 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 My friend (Jake) has his own Emby username and I've added him to my server. This was working fine up until maybe about a week ago when I noticed the server dashboard was showing that I (Dan) was watching a movie that I actually wasn't playing. Then over the next few days I noticed that my "continue watching" list was full of tv episodes and movies that I hadn't been watching at all. So it turns out when Jake watches something on his XBOX One App the server is actually saying that I am watching it. Server: 3.2.30.0 We're not on the same network, he connects remotely. Dashboard says: Dan has started playing *movie* App: Emby Theater, Device: Windows Is this a bug or have I got a setting wrong somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 It sounds like he is signed in as Dan and not Jake? Do other events in the activity log say Jake or Dan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansblackcat 37 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) I'd tend to agree that he is logged in as Dan. Not sure how as he doesn't know my password. He logged in from two devices at the same time which seems to have caused the issue. He originally logged in via the Xbox One app and it was working fine for weeks. Then while logged into the Xbox he also logged in on a macbook via the emby website. This too worked fine. But now the Xbox appears to be connecting as Dan and he say's hes changed absolutely nothing. His young kids mainly use the Xbox so maybe they've payed with something and accidentally made a change? Still not sure how'd they connect without my password? I haven't seen any Jake events in the log but he hasn't used it over the last two days. I'll get him to log in on both and see if I can still see both users. Edited September 13, 2017 by dansblackcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14897 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Did you ever log in on his devices? Since the default behavior is to remember the last user that could be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Or you may be thinking about your connect username and password. Does your emby server user have a password as well? If he logs out and gets to the login screen, he might not need your password to log in as you if your emby server user doesn't have a password. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I think you could be right about the connect username. I didn't realize there were two different passwords to set up. Seems a bit strange that everyone can log in and out of each others profiles. I set up a password but every time I started EMC it asks for my password which is annoying on a IR remote. So instead I just selected the "hide this user from login screens" feature. Thanks for your help everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 There are only two passwords if you use the Emby Connect link feature to an existing local user on your server. If you instead use the Add Guest feature, then all they can use is their Emby Connect login. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansblackcat 37 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 That's what I did wrong. I just had my friends create a user account and them added them to Emby server, but not as a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
