Completed Down for maintenance Issue

Hi.  The way our feature is designed the message comes after logging in.  This allows the admin to actually access the system.

If you are going to the trouble to setup what you indicated, your failover could simply return a web page with whatever message you want...

I noticed when i put my system in "Maintenance Mode" some features in the admin panel don't seem to work.  I mentioned one of the items in another thread (editing user profiles, LINK on a users profile page) .  "Luke" might remember.  But my question here, is there a plan to when Emby is in Maintenance mode to allow all admin features (except media playback) to function?  Examples, I cannot change the library image, or refresh library content in admin mode when Emby is in maintenance mode.  As an Admin, I would think I have full privileges to Emby even in maintenance mode to test thing and make changes.

Whenever, I add new content (I prep and only add once a month), I put the system in maintenance mode, so my usage of my NAS doesn't compete with family trying to watch something.

Sorry Luke, an Admin butchered the post I put in the "Maintenance Mode" thread....and put part of it here. 
Link:

This was the top half of that post, giving an example of issues with Maintenance Mode and the rest was a suggestion for a feature change/request to Maintenance Mode.

I don't know what happened to the rest of the post and I didn't save or screenshot it.  Didn't know someone would do this to a post, they clearly didn't read it.  My post in the maintenance mode thread is gone.  So, now I have no reference.

The below thread references the first issue I started having with Maintenance Mode....Page 2....

After doing some checking, I figured out, i can't be in maintenance mode to edit user data from that link.

I always put my server in maintenance mode when I make updates or changes to the system.

I would still prefer a global way to make these change and force them to stick to all profiles vs having to go into 20 profiles to make changes every time I do an update or change to the categories.  

Thank you all for your help.

LUKE's COMMENT:
HI, good catch about maintenance mode. We'll take a look at this. Thanks.

 

Anyway, I think the meat of my request was to allow admins to do everything in "Maintenance Mode" and only not allow videos playback, keeping the banner notification as it currently has.
