4.8.11 force login screen on open not working on android/android tv

[tOLJY 52]

Hi, I just updated my server to 4.8.11 and noticed an option to force login screen. In previously raised this as a feature request so emby doesn't just catapult me into my kids profile and begin a screaming match to watch their shows when we are trying to watch something else.

Seems like it might only be working on web? I'm unable to find any options for it on my Google TV. I'm currently running 3.4.36 on the TV.

The startup behavior option was only added to the Android app in v3.4.40+

3.4.42 -02/26/2025

• Fixes related to login options
• Fix video rotation on Fire TV devices when direct playing

3.4.40 -02/23/2025

• Add option to configure to login as specific user on startup

You'll need to side-load the app to get the latest versions, as the Play Store stable has not been updated past 3.4.46

 

It's not quite working as myself and others had hoped, but YMMV - so test it out. @Lukehas stated that it requires some more options.
