Hi

Is there an possibility to add a future for message to user if the streaming capacity is full?

If I have set the server to max 5 streams, and the 6. try to connect they would get a message? 

BTW, the message and kick out of paused to long. Is really nice thing

 

Thanks for good plugins!

Quick question.  I see we can set a limit on the number of minutes the family members can access Emby.  If I set a global setting so they all have the same minutes, is there a way to see how many  each member has left, before granting additional minutes.

I noticed, when I set a global setting (times emby can be active 8am to 00am (midnight)), and Minutes of 360 per family member), it worked fine.... however, I wanted to be able to see how many minutes they are using to see if I even needed to have that restriction... mainly to prevent someone from leaving it on all day/night long.  I didn't see a way to view the number of minutes by individual on the global setting.  So, I removed the minutes from a global setting and set it for each individual, as I noticed it shows 0/360 when I do.  However, the global setting of Times during the day no longer works.  So, it seems it doesn't like the global setting for Times to use and individual minutes to use. I hope I conveyed this correctly.   

Please see if this version fixes it for you.

It appears to be working correctly so far.  Thank you

Should per user weekly watch time limits be working for web client for 1.5.8.0?

I set a 2h limit for one user, Watching Eye shows "Weekly: 3/2h", but I can still start watching new episodes with that user on Emby web client. I also tried setting a time out and that doesn't work either. 

On Android the both the limit and the timeouts are working.

Will look into it.

My Emby web client shows Version 4.9.3.0 — in case that's helpful.
