Parental control/user control..

Plex Players Gaming Consoles
1

So, I have Plex running on a server (Windows) in the house running Win8.1 plus flexraid.  All movies are organized.   Some movies (R) are segmented out.

I installed the Plex app on PS4, and created a new user account (Home) that doesn't have access to those libraries that contain (R) rated content for the kids.

 

However, on the PS4 it never prompts me to choose which account to connect to on my PlexServer.. so it by default sees everything.. which of course includes (R) rated content, etc.

 

I want my kids to have access to most things.. but I really don't want to have them access to, as an example, Basic Instinct.

 

How do I get the PS4 to show me accounts?

We haven't finished with user switching / parental controls yet. It's in development. Thanks for inquiring! Stay tuned to our release announcements thread for info.

Would love to see this feature developed.

Plex Home is the name of the feature you're inquiring about and has not been implemented on the PlayStation app yet.
