How to switch users on PIN entry screen without entering PIN

[cptbrainia 3]

If you turn on the TV, and it's on the PIN entry screen, how do you cancel PIN entry and switch users (to a profile that either doesn't require a PIN or has a PIN that you know)?

Also, how can you tell whose PIN it is that's being requested?

I've recently set this up, but am really struggling to make it functional.  I'm not sure if it's the functionality of the app, our configuration, or something is "broken."

Also, the schedule functionality in parental control is a great idea, but it sure would be nice if you could just enter start/stop times instead of having to choose times that are on the hour.  For our younger kids, they frequently get TV time that's <1 hour in duration.

Hi.  For now, login and change the "Remember me" option to "No" in the app settings and then you will be presented with a selection screen for which user you want.

We will look into getting options into the PIN dialog.

I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but IMO all of the emby apps should have the option to change the startup behavior so that it shows the profile selection screen, signs in as the last user, or a specific user every time. It just makes for a better experience regardless of whether that device or an OS profile on that device is used primarily used by a single user or multiple users.

Not sure about the Roku as it is its own beast but all clients should be moving to this setting.
