Welcome/help/howto landing page (on another port)

[dprovencher 3]

Hi, would it be possible for you guys to add some kind of landing page for new users?  Another port binding would be perfect for this, with a simple link to 8096 inside of it so they can connect through it easily.

I would use the landing page to link to clients (iOS, Android, etc.) and to explain the interface and how things work to get them going, possibly with screenshots, etc.

Having this right inside the server would be awesome as it would have the same look/css as the client.

 

Another way to have a help page would be to have a help section or library they can get into from the client and look at what I put inside, and have this same place accessible at the login screen in case they forget their username / etc.

Check out Wizarr. It does most of what you are asking for and is customizable too.

While i like the idea, wouldn't this move Emby in the Netflix replacement direction instead of being a personal server?

That's exactly what it is for me, I bought Emby precisely to replace my Netflix/Disney/Prime subs.  Then I ripped all my DVDs, BDs and gave them away to family/trash.

I share my library with family, and some live far away and I can't go show them how to do things properly, so a help screen would be immensely useful for me, and some way to lock features and options per-user would be nice too, as 90% of them don't really know what things do really.
