Auto launch into specific user

[JacobD 1]

I have two users in my account, and we switch between them based on who is using the TV but I use the TV most of the time.

So is it possible to always launch the app into a specific user regardless of the last user used?

On the AndroidTV/FireTV client it is - you have 3 startup options

• Show Login Screen
• Automatically login as this user
• Remember Last User

So in your case, you would use Auto login as yourself - and then to use the other account, you would switch in the App.

I believe most of the Apps have Auto login - and then switch the user if required - just be careful to not logout, as then you will need to do the full login each time.

I'm on a Samsung TV (Tizen 8), I don't have these options.

Pretty certain you can Auto Login to the Samsung - and then just switch user.   Next time you open the App (after turning off the TV) that same user will Auto login again ..

I'm not sure I'm following, but let's say I'm user1, and if user2 last used the app, the next time I launch the app it will default to user2 even if I close the app or turn off the TV.
I also searched through all of Samsung's internal settings and there's no mention of any user settings at all.

Ah right ok - I haven't used the Samsung App in a while.   That's a shame the options are not there as from what you say, it simply keeps the last logged in user.

So I'm not sure now if any of the other apps give you the options like Android/Fire TV ..  .. sorry to have confused you.
