I don't see why managed plex home users can't view content that is shared with the primary plex home user? I would like to create managed home accounts for my non-tech family members, but they can only see my content. Wthout being able to view content that is shared with me it's almost useless. I…

This is as intended. The person that shared their library with you, shared it with YOU and not any Tom, Dick or Harry you added to your Home. We have people right now asking to eliminate the 15 Managed User limits so they can get the "feel" of the main account on all of their users. Imagine what …

The point if Plex Home is to allow the creation of managed users and allow the accounts you add to your plex home to benefit from your plexpass subscription (access to certain apps and features for free). It isn't, as @Mike G. pointed out, to allow you to re-share a shared server.

I understand your point, but how is it different than if I just use my account on everyone's device? This is what I have to do now to make it work. The difference is that I only have 2-3 family members I will use this for, and only share libraries with about 5 people. The total size of the group…

I understand your point, but how is it different than if I just use my account on everyone's device? This is what I have to do now to make it work. For me, if you handed out your account info to your entire family and I saw multiple simultaneous streams coming from your acount I would no long…

It's just annoying if I want to add someone, I have to contact everyone who shares with me and then request they now share with my father-in-law. He has no clue how to do the request. Then if I add my brother I have to again, ask everyone to share with that person. I haven't actually rolled it o…

To tell you the truth I would love to have this feature but for a different reason. I would love to have the ability to setup a share with "pass through sharing" that is configurable per user. Why I would like this: Imagine being able to setup a 2nd or 3rd plex server in your own environment depe…

Carlo, I see your use case being something much different than the OP's request was. You are asking for a distributed pool of Plex Servers, all funneling through a common master server. in this situation, servers are shared to servers, not servers to users. The master server still would control t…

Yep. Notice the pattern you and I often speak off. Server tools, server tools, server tools. :) This is only one way of many ways that some sort of distributed server setup could be done. Another possible easier way to scale is simply to allow distributed encoding using other machines on the s…

What needs to be done, is in the User section of Plex where you can managed what is shared to your local plex users and your shared users, they just need to add a check box(which by default is unchecked) to allow your content to be shared to the local users of plex user you are sharing with. This wi…
