logging into multiple servers

[Che8o 1]

Hi,

is there a way to make the app cache credentials when logging into multiple servers?

On iOS I'm not used to enter user/password every time, but on Apple TV, every time I switch the server, I need to login with credentials again, which is somewhat annoying given the remote control is rather brittle.

 

Thanks!

Hi.  You could login with Connect and that would solve that.

 

Or, if they are local, then just set the users up to not require passwords on the local LAN if you don't want them secured.

hmm ok, thanks! sounds like i'm out of luck.

Why do you say that?  I gave you two options to get where you want to.

they are both remote, i.e. the password option does not work. The Emby Connect part I did not get and suppose failed asking again. From my understanding this is meant to make it easy to locate the server, i.e. not require the knowledge of an IP. How does that remove the inconvenience of adding user credentials again?

Just want to make sure I understand this correctly as I am a little allergic to such third-party services for security reasons.

Because when you use Connect, it connects the device to a specific user on each server so there are no credentials to select.

Yes thanks. Also the app changed here recently. It's working as expected now.
