New Emby version preserving login if process is terminated


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've always had a button on my remote mapped to kill and restart the Emby app as a "1 tap" way to log out. That was paired with keeping the "stay logged in" (don't remember the exact text) checkbox unchecked during login. Now that checkbox is gone and I can't seem to find a way to require logging in again if I hit my "restart" button (the new app didn't preserve my old config and needed to be set up from scratch so it's possible I missed something).

Granted, that was always a hacky way to achieve a "1 tap" log out. I don't want to go through menus (multiple button presses) to log out. Is there any way to achieve what I want, whether it's restoring the old functionality so my "restart" button works again as is, or mapping that button to a single key press that will tell the Emby app to log out without having to navigate or confirm, or worst case scenario, having that button show a confirmation prompt and tapping that same button a second time to confirm and log out?

Trying to be open to whatever options might achieve the goal while keeping the process brain-dead trivial for my family.

Why do you need to log out each time?

You could try setting General -> Startup behaviour to "Show login screen"

Because I don't want logins to be persistent. I've tried that setting, but the login is saved so when you choose the user that was previously logged in, it doesn't request a pin again.

I don't think we have a built-in shortcut to do this, but if your remote allows to be programmed to send a sequence of key strokes, you could do something like

  • CTRL-SHIFT-S (stop playback - in case)
  • POS1 (go to home screen)
  • UP UP UP RIGHT UP RIGHT RIGHT (get on the user menu)
  • ENTER/OK
  • DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN UP ENTER (sign out)
  • ALT-F4 (close app)
