Anonymous access to Emby

[fathibn 0]

Hello,

 

I am new to Emby, have tried it some weeks ago and liked it, now i have to make a real deploiement test. My situation is as follow:

Need to give access to Emby to everyone who connects to the wifi network, preferably anonymously. Haven't found how to do this, i have setup an account with blank password, so a user has just to click on that link and is logged in without password. I would like to prevent him from changing profile and password, have followed https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blog/1/entry-177-manage-your-home-with-emby-users/ but i dont find the "Disable access to user preferences" in Advanced control as is shown in this tutorial.

As i said, i don't need anyone to have his account on emby as all users are occasionnal passengers.

 

Can someone help me ?

 

TIA

Hi, there is currently no way to prevent them from changing their own password but we will add a setting for this in an upcoming update. thanks.

Hello,

It seems this setting have been implemented as shown in https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Users "Disable access to user preferences" but i can't find it in my Emby installation even if I am running the most up to date version. Is this a pro feature ?

Hi, this setting is no longer available, although it is likely to return in the future, at least for preventing password changes.
