Emby Connect

[lstryhrn 7]

Is it possible to only connect my server to Emby Connect compared to only just adding the user. For example If I login to my Emby connect on my android tv app, it only logs me into my profile of the server. Is it possible to show my wife and kids profile as well. Or do each profile have to have a emby connect account?

If they are local accounts, they do not need to be 'Emby Connect' enabled.

And you can absolutely show them listed upon starting the Android TV app

Be sure to set this option under 'Startup' settings to 'Show Login Screen'

Then additionally you can set this option for seamless local network access on their User account (Password tab)

Hope this helps

Hi.  The above is correct, if you want to allow user selection, then you don't want to use Connect at all.  Just connect to the server using its address and the login screen will then show all users you have made public.
