Server Version#: 1.21.2.3943 (But been going on for quite a while)  
Player Version#:N/A

I have an odd issue that is hopefully quick to point me in the right direction. I have had an ongoing issue with libraries with managed users (Kids etc) who like to jump in to watch videos. When setting up there are duplicates of folders/libraries I can give access to, but one of them is empty the other is correct and full of videos to watch.

I can get around the issue by giving them both libraries but would be nice to fix the issue as a pain when you load the wrong one.

If I rename my current server (added in the word Real) it then applies the word Real to all libraries, as I thought it may have shown my old pc details (similar name, but was different back then.)

Hopefully, someone can assist 😁

Thank you

Unfortunately none others listed in that link (my apologies with the late response)  
It isn’t a major, but one of those “to fix” backburner jobs on my list 😀 but a big thanks for the effort to respond to my message, and provide assistance.

If any others do have further ideas please do let me know,

Thank you heaps!

Delete your web browser cache,  
“Switch User” back and forth,  
then look at these “Shared with…” dialogs again.
