How to hide some libraries from DNLA broadcast?

Plex Media Server
1

Dear Plex users,

I’m running Plex Server on TrueNAS and I really appreciate it.

The only point is, although it is useful and possible to share or not some Music libraries for some users, I noticed last time that when browsing though DNLA using a Windows client for instance, all my libraries are visible and accessible!

Is the a way to prevent some libraries from being exposed through DNLA? This is just a non sens if you can filter from libs when using a client, but not if browsing over DNLA…

R.

Player Version#: NA

No, you cannot do that.
The DLNA server will use your admin user, so it sees everything. This is why the DLNA server is disabled by default if you create a Plex Home.

There’s a feature suggestion to allow controlling which libraries to be included over DLNA – IIRC there’s also been one to bind DLNA to a different account and only show what that account can see.

Thank you so much for your prompt answer.

That’s too bad, but I will have no other choice than disable DNLA :slightly_frowning_face:

Let’s hope something will be done in that way, I’ve read some articles and this subject was already identified in 2014 :sob:

Cheers
