Copying user settings does skips home screen sections

[geekymovielord 2]

Hey there,

I am creating new users with python. For this I have setup a user called "templateuser" and copy settings over to the newly created user. That works for most settings, but does not work for the home screen sections:

 

Also another thing that is not copied over, is this setting:

 

 

By the way, this is the relevant part from my python script:

    url = f"{server_url}/emby/Users/New"
    headers = {
        "X-Emby-Token": api_key,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "Name": new_username,
        "Password": new_password,
        "CopyFromUserId": template_user_id,
        "UserCopyOptions": [
            "UserPolicy",
            "UserConfiguration"
        ]
    }

 

 

I think the emby team needs to adjust it in the backend, correct? Would this be possible?

HI, home screen settings are supported with this feature now on the 4.9 beta channel.

this is not included because the user can configure this differently on each device, therefore it is not saved on the server.
