Hi Guys - I love plex, but for a long time, one thing has been bugging me: Remembering who i have shared my server with. My grandfather's username is something like 'TheUnbreakableBeard' - not something i would quickly associate with my beard-less grandfather.
So, i have a simple request - A small, limited text note field on the 'shared with X friends' page, where i can simply put in text like 'Grandma' or 'Joe' - and not have to rely on remembering vague usernames.

I agree with this, that's a good idea.. Not a life changer but could make a difference and make it easier for the PMS owner to create aliases for the remote users (in the MyPlex site I presume).

Indeed. Their web developer may well be able to get it done easily - there would be no impact to any of the clients.

For security reasons I had kept my plex.tv username as my email to make it harder for someone to hack my account by guessing an easier to use username. Now with fast user switching I created managed users for my family which has a nice friendly name, but my email sticks out like a sore thumb. I can change my username in plex.tv to show a friendlier name but that would bring up the se…
