Here’s the deal. My disabled son has his own Plex account on the server and I have set up libraries of his music and videos for him. He’s illiterate but figures out interfaces pretty well.
I just noticed that he was on my wife’s account despite me setting the automatic signin on his account on the PC he uses. It seems he was exiting the program by closing the browser, but next time he clicked the Plex icon on the windows desktop, he was presented with the multiple logins and selects me or my wife. 1/2 the time (like I said, he cannot read ort write).
If I’m doing something stupid, let me know but I was hoping that every time Plex was opened on that PC that the automatic signin under his ID would be in force. It’s clearly not and maybe he’s doing something to bypass it, I don’t know. But if it should work the way I described it’s apparently ont, so what can I send you to prove that and if it’s working as designed, is there a way I can achieve what I need?
I need him to be led to his curated libraries, not wandering around other family members.
Yeah, dropping him to that level would mean we can’t switch to him on other devices though. It’s just on the PC we need him to be in a walled garden, On Roku etc we’re generally driving the bus and would like to be able to switch to him. Was just hoping that it would work when he closes out the browser and then clicks the icon again, it would force the reopening to his signin which it isn’t doing.
I know. But a command line option in the windows icon or something would be so useful. Which is why I’m asking.
Closing the program then launching again should automatically reuse the last user that was logged in. If it is launching to your account or your wife’s, he must somehow be changing users before he closes the program.
If you don’t care about the watched history, you could try giving him 2 accounts. 1 under plex home so you can switch accounts in devices you need to, then a second independent account he can use on his computer where he doesn’t need to change users.
