Duplicate Limit Devices Per User/Account

[Chris0248 1]

Hello,

Please can anyone tell me if there is a way to limit a user to one device, I have friends who access my Emby server and some of them install it on every device they have reducing my limit.  I can’t find any option on the server, there is limit streams but nothing about devices.

Ideally I would like to assign an Amazon Fire Stick 4K MAX or a Smart TV to a user and that would be there free device, if they want it on anything else then they can purchase it directly through the Emby app for the device they are using.

It Would be great if we can limit the device per users.  The simultaneous streams don't prevent to user to login on another device and it is chewing up the devices limits on my Emby Premiere.

Can anyone advise please.  Thank you.

Cheers,

Chris

First how is this a FR when its a question

But this is what I do.

I thought i would add it as a feature request as the option to do it within Emby isn’t there without a lot of manual administration.  We should just be about to limit a user to one device per account.  Does this option allow the user to purchase the application via the Emby app and then I allow access? I don’t see how this option works with devices being removed from my Emby premier list but thank you very much for the information.
